False hyperlinks
While I appreciate the fact that AllMyNotes attempts to identify hyperlinks within the text, it seems that it could be a little more selective with the 'identification rules'. I'm seeing a lot of text being falsely identified as hyperlinks when in fact the text is actually a file name, an IP address, or a date. In fact, every item in the following list is identified in AllMyNotes as being a hyperlink (the last one is identified as a phone number). So I don't know whether to ask for the rules to be tightened, or for an option to be added that allows each user to either show/not-show underscores for hyperlinks. (I wouldn't want to do away with the ability to double-click to select the hyperlink, only the underline itself.) Either way is fine with me.

Re: False hyperlinks
Let me explain why certain hyperlinks are recognized incorrectly... Let's take a look at last false-positive example, "01-16-11", obviously it's the date, we, humans, know it. But, imagine that you live in the city where phone numbers are represented in xx-xx-xx format... This is the case for my city, for example, my phone number, if to skip country/area code is 51-33-32, same format as date format :?



I think we'll do something which will enable to train our hyperlink recognizing engine to learn user-based hyperlinks experience (kind of spam filter, which can learn user preferences). Possibly Alt+Click should identify hyperlink as false-positive and remove underline from it and all similar hyperlinks. Anyway, I'll reply to this topic once we'll have it implemented.

Cool! You always come up with a very creative way to handle things.

Re: False hyperlinks
Effectively from version 2.33 (will be released on this week) this feature will be available. To remove hyperlinking will be needed to do Shift+Alt+Click.

Re: False hyperlinks
Vlad,

I find that I have so much text being identified as hyperlinks that I just can't keep up with disabling them individually. This is not a problem when the text remains in AllMyNotes, but when I have to copy it into an email (which I frequently do) I have to manually remove hyperlinks either before copying the text or after pasting it. So would you consider creating either a more global way of removing hyperlinks (e.g., remove all links within selected text) or making automatic-hyperlinks an option that can be disabled?



Thanks,

Brent

Re: False hyperlinks
Ok, please send to me most common cases, I'll tune up the url recognition accordingly. By the way, I did some tuning on last week already, so please use the latest build below:

Re: False hyperlinks
Vlad,

The new build handles most cases where I didn't need/want a link.



Thanks,

Brent
