There used to a be program called Knowledge Store (I think) that was very similar to ListPro. I tried to find it today, but kept running into broken links.

Is anyone familiar with this program or know what happened to it?

Thanks.

Daly

Daly,

Are you possibly thinking of InfoStore? It is similar in many respects to ListPro, although it only comes in a desktop version, and it allows lists like ListPro, or RTF notes. It is available at

www.mhsoftware.co.uk

It's a nice little program. I don't think they've upgraded it in a couple of years though, so I am not sure if it is still under development.

Steve, thanks a lot. That was exactly what I was looking for.

I wonder how folk here might compare InfoStore with ListPro?

Daly,

ListPro allows for more sophisticated lists. For instance, you can make items in a list subordinate to other items, to achieve a crude outline right in the list. LP allows for flagging of items, which can then be filtered out, so if you have a standard shopping list, for example, you can flag those items you need for this week and view only those items. ListPro has more options for types of data to use. And, of course, ListPro has a Palm or PC version to which you can sync or lists.

On the other hand, InfoStore allows you to include both RTF notes and lists in the hierarchical tree. I guess if you're looking for the best list builder, LP would be the choice. If you want something with a broader range of uses, IS might be better.

By the way, I noticed ListPro will be on sale this Friday through Bits du Jour.

Steve, thanks for the info. And for the Bits headsup.

I notice InfoStore lets you have file and url links. I am not sure that Listpro does.

This program has piqued my interest - hard to resist for the discounted price.

From the user guide:

Linked Columns
A linked column is designed to hold a reference to another document, file, or web address. When you click or tap on the value in a linked column, your Windows PC or Palm-powered Handheld will attempt to show you the document that the link points to. In order for this to work, the value of the linked column must be:

• A file name
• A web site address (URL)

File names can be either a complete path (c:\My Documents\Fred\products\sales_pitch.ppt) or a partial path, beginning with the folder in which the ListPro file is stored. In this case, if you have a ListPro file in:

c:\My Documents\Fred\products

and PowerPoint presentations in:

c:\My Documents\Fred\products\presentations

then you can name them in linked columns like this:

presentations\product_road_map.ppt
presentations\new_features.ppt

URLs in linked columns must include the prefix (http:// ftp://, mailto:, or file://).

Note that if the file or URL can’t be found, or if the Windows PC or Palm-powered Handheld isn’t connected to a network so that it can reach the file or URL, or if the file type isn’t one that you have software to open (for example, a Microsoft Word file on a machine without Microsoft Word) you won’t be able to see the contents.

You can only add linked columns to a list on your Windows PC; linked columns sync with the Palm-powered Handheld, but their contents are only visible -- you can’t open files or access web addresses on the Palm.

Later,

Ken, thanks for the info re Listpro.

When Bitsdujour had it on special last week I picked it up for about $10.
