TreeSheets

Steve,

I think that you’ll be delighted to hear that you can exchange information with several other applications (Brainstorm, Natara Bonsai and mind mapping programs are a few that come to mind) with indented text. From the tutorial “copy paste any ascii text into a cell with indentation will create a tree structure according to the indentation”. Similarly, exporting as text will produce an indented ascii file that can be read into the programs mentioned above.

It’s particularly interesting to see Brainstorm files expand into a sort of editable ‘Ballon view’ something that Brainstorm aficionados have been wanting for ages. And it is here that the TreeSheets’ advantage can be best demonstrated: it expands the traditional outline by adding an extra dimension, i.e. additional cells for every entry.

I am more and more impressed as I work on it.

Cheers
Alexander
