Message 3429 was inadvertantly sent before I had finished it.
The last line should read: The big questionn is the extent to which bugs can be reduced, if not eliminated.
I say “if not eliminanted,” because it seems most all programs have some bugs.
I have recently, in spite of my early on criticisms, been using Ultra Recall a lot. I find it relatively bug free, except when I come to use its browser.
I find the forward and back arrows do not work consistently. What I meann is that if I go back, say to a Google search, the content of that page becomes lost. And when I try to go forward, very often I get one of those “page cannot be displayed” pages.
It’s frustrating.
Sometimes, also, when I try to store a page that is open from a page that is linked in the UR search or tree panes, it is the linked paged that is stored, not the item open in the item pane. It is very counter intuitive that way.
My work around for all of these issues is Firefox, from which I can export items (step one), and then save them (step 2) when I reopen them in UR’s browser. One extra step but it works everytime, and since I prefer Firefox not a big loss, except when it comes to working with url links in UR.
