Hi Steve,

yes I know, these requirements ask for what we used to call (in german) the search for the “Eierlegende-Woll-Milch-Sau” (Egg-laying-wool-and-milk-giving-sow) back when I worked for vendors and SW companies ;-)

Actually, I am just about giving up the timeline aspect - I believe that if I can get the rest set up and have the information structured somehow, then I will probably be able to export information into some other package for the timeline. But, as the interest in art implies, I’m a very visual person. That’s why I was originally thinking of using TheBrain.

I appreciate that Zoot could probably do most of what I want, the smart folders are enticing. My reluctance about Zoot is based on it not working properly on my machines, I lost about 100mb of data a year ago and the problems with Evernote and crashing just have me concerned.

Ah well, now I know what it feels like on the other end of the stick!
