Reinstalling Brainstorm

Thanks Dr Andus, your trick seems to work.

Sean, in theory, all you should need to do is to add .brn to the extensions that UltraRecall parses for keywords (indexing). Brainstorm files are ANSI files with some additional binary attributes. You can view a Brainstorm file in a text editor (the text editor will complain about the binary content, which you can ignore)—just don’t save it from the editor or it will be corrupted.

I tried the theory outlined above but got nil results. My guess is that UltraRecall doesn’t like the binary content or excludes the .brn files from indexing for other reasons. I renamed a .brn file to .txt but again with no luck.
