Anyone use this? Seems to have some nice features, including a way to past clipboard contents into a folder of your choice without having to open the program directly.

Thanks.

Black Hole Organizer 2.03
Description:
Black Hole Organizer is a web enabled free-form notes application that's been designed to make document management easier for everyone. Find your notes quickly with Power Find, create categories and sub-categories (folders) that are meaningful to you. Using the full-featured text editor you can format documents just the way you need. Save, export, print and even email your documents directly from Black Hole Organizer. Quickly insert stock text into any note using the template feature! Being web enabled means that any web url or email address is a live link as well. Drag text from your browser and drop it into an existing document or create a new one on the fly. Includes a full featured spell checker and Thesaurus! Convert the document manager to appear as a "floater" that will sit on your desktop with a small footprint that allows you to simply drag/drop your information to and have it immediately added to your database without losing your train of thought. Built-in reminder system allows you to keep track of tasks or documents that need attending to. Keeps a list of url favorites as well as an address book.

[It doesn't sound like a very distinguished product, except maybe for the thesaurus.]

Thanks for your response. I agree that the description doesn't jump out at you, but it has some pretty nice touches. The ability to capture info from the clipboard directly into the program (similar to the Zooter in Zoot), rich text formatting, and a very nice find feature have been a few things I've liked in my trial version. There have, however, been some bugs. Have you tried it and, if so, what do you think? Bugs?

Thanks again.

I have decided to buy Black Hole. It really is a thoughtfully designed program. The developer has been very responsive, fixing all of the bugs I found in just a couple of days!

I'd be curious as to what others thing about it.
