Comment 11 for bug 370819

This problem has turned worse to me.

Although dentament's tip improved loading speed, notecase still takes most of my CPU time and now it's making compiz-manager crash and if I keep it open for more than a couple of minutes it simply freezes my laptop. Completely. Not even the magic sysreq keys work.

I used notecase regularly as a work tool and now I am rather lost on what to do. My notes need to be converted to another similar program - and I am considering freemind for this - but I don't have a converter. Since I rely so much on the notes I've been accumulating, I was forced to dump them to a text-file and consult them whenever I need, but I practically can't add notes anymore.

I am very frustrated with this program going the non-open-source paid route. The changelog for the commercial version seems to have a number of bug fixes that were related to performance, and none of these fixes went to the free version. It seems it was sort of a time bomb to lure users in paying. Am I being paranoid here?

Can someone please suggest an alternative? And a way to convert notes? My notes are too many to be converted by hand. I'd lose the whole day doing that, and I can't afford that time.
