Alex,

interesting news, because i downloaded Idea! off of recommendations on here, and played with it a bit today. i could type the arabic into the note pane ok, but it wouldn’t show properly in the title pane nor in the search bar, and i can’t figure out how to change the fonts for them (as i’m assuming that that might be the problem).

i’m trying out InfoHandler now as another alternative. But i can’t find any way to drag and drop - or even import - premade files (word files, etc) into the database…even if it doesn’t remain a MS word file, is there no way to easily import its content?

if InfoHandler doesn’t work out, i’ll probably keep plodding along with Onfolio. It’s a wonderful program, and i can’t imagine working without it anymore, but i really would like the extra abilities of Devonthink (the semantic “see also” search and recommendations), and the Keywords categorizating bank of InfoHandler, along with some of the Wiki-like abilities that some programs (to some degree, Devonthink and others) offer.
