Testing everything in search of the best all-around program choice(s) -- Ultra Recall so far...

PersonalBrain is another option for those who like using the file system to organize their information, but want to also be able to create relationships among those data beyond the hierarchy, while also adding meta data, such as tags and annotations.

You can bring in your entire folder structure or just files relating to a specific project.

I imagine you can do this in UR, and I’m certain Zoot can do it. But those programs merely replicate the hierarchy. PB on the other hand allows you to define relationships visually and fluidly, so you can create necessary structure on a per project basis.

I’m not suggesting this way is better than any other way, but I am finding it very handy. And it provides a new view of your data even if you prefer to rely primarily on the file system.
