Hi, Slartibartfarst, thanks for your interest. Seems like the 1001 error appears in some rare cases, several users have reported about it recently. We’ve updated the installer, so this error is gone. Please, download the updated installer on our site.
True, XLnotes was available for some time in the past, however, we were not satisfied with performance of text controls we used, since we wanted them to handle pictures seamlessly, without loss of quality and with good compression. Having used a lot of notetaking apps, you know that picture handling is often a major downside for most of them, often lacking even basic tools for picture editing and often reducing their quality unacceptably. Being not confident in the software ourselves, we couldn’t offer it to the market, hence lack of reviews and coverage. In the latest version we use MS Word, which is by far superior to any text controls in terms of image and formatting handling. Seems like the search for ideal text component is over.
Indeed, for that short period of time, when XLnotes was available, it offered a different pricing model.
If you wish to purchase XLnotes, then your payment will be processed by one of the largest software distributors - Avangate, which serves thousands of software vendors, including some of the most well-known. This information is clearly provided on our site. You don’t share any personal or payment details with us, so the payment procedure is made as secure as possible. Concerning our server location - it’s a matter of cost/performance ratio and as said earlier, we don’t access users personal data in any way.
Concerning the possibe “just another notetaking app” reaction, you are right that notetaking segment is overcrowded, however, the majority are simple list notes apps, which are good for capturing thoughts and appointments from time to time. However, if you want a place, for example, to catalog merchandise items and supply each of them with picture, text description and attachment, then you will need a free-form structure like Excel and notetaking add-in like XLnotes, because you can’t do it other way.
