Just want to let folks know that Miclog has released the next version of Infoselect.

I’ve been testing it for a day, and it seems to have some interesting new features.

You can check it out at http://www.miclog.com/is/9 .

Kenneth,

Thanks for the heads up.

How do the smart folders seem to work? How do they compare to smart folders in Zoot?

I swore I would never again pay $99 to upgrade my InfoSelect, but smart folders and a few other of the new features might be enough to convince me… okay, that’s just the CRIMP talking, but still…

There are a couple of improvement that I really like: smart folders (it works pretty well) and context tabs. So, I think all in all, it’s a worthwhile upgrade. There are still a few things that are “annyoing,” such as not have the toolbar buttons for bullets and numbering and inability to select quicktext without entering the first letter, etc. So far, I’ve enjoyed using the upgrade.

Kenneth,

Having abandoned Infoselect many years ago, can you say what it is you like about it? I would also be very interested to know what other info management programs you run along side it.

With the latest tweaks it seems to be approaching one of the best “all in one” programs around.

Thanks,

Graham

I’ve had a love and hate relationship with Infoselect since it was released first (Tornado was the DOS version).

Over the years I found a few things that were lacking or some of its idiosyncratic maddening, but with the latest version, I think I can at least live with some of these, and most of the issues I had with the outline selectors, editors, etc. have been fixed.

The new features such as smart folders (although primitive compared to Zoot) and context tabs are great additions in my book.

Is this perfect? Not quite, but I think it’s good enough for me to use if full time now.

My other favorites have been ADM, Infohandler, Asksam Pro, ConnectedText, Treepad X, Zoot, etc. There are too many others I have bought and tried in the past to mention here.

I use Notabene 8 for my academic research exclusively and Inspiration 8 for outlining and concept mapping.
