Version 3 has been released for maybe a couple of weeks - http://www.gemx.com/doorganizer.php - I’ve owned it since version 1 when it was conceptually promising but terribly implemented and poorly supported. Well things are 180% different now - phenomenal functionality and fabulous user interface if you like that kind of thing… Extremely active forum http://www.gemx.com/forum/index.php?board=2.0 - with the developers totally engaged…

About a year ago I had hoped that Omea Pro was going to be my central email/tasks/files/notes/etc organizer - but 1) the user interface was never good even though the functionality was relatively comprehensive, 2) its development died about 6 months ago…

Anyway - like many of you, I’ve purchased, experimented with, got frustrated by almost every PIM there is… But do-O has taken itself to center stage…. quite exciting actually…

Ian, thanks for the info.

I am glad gemx is appearing to be more customer-responsive; for a long time they came across as very aloof, almost arrogant. I think part of it may have been they were trying to do too much with a small staff.

Their outliner was good at one point, but like other outliners, seemed to get left behind when the emphasis seemed to shift to more of an information processing focus.

It will be interesting to see how the organizer has evolved.

Cheers,

Daly

I took a quick look at the web site. What struck me looking at the range of features is whether doorganizer is targetting InfoSelect.

I am definitely going to download it.

Two things I like without having yet tried the program: First is the 60-day trial. Second is the modular pricing. Does anyone else do that? I think it is excellent.

In a CRIMP moment I purchased TexNotes Pro some time ago. I have to say that while it is “feature rich” it is one of the most unwieldy, unergonomic programs I have ever used, which is to say I have hardly used it at all.

Wow. Less than HALF the screen real estate is devoted to your notes
