That is good to know, it does seem to tie up several loose ends, enough for me to have upgraded, but I still wait patiently for the new version of Zoot.

These are also two of my favourite programs.
Thanks for your comments,

Well, its looks very promising, indeed, but why it is so expensive? Besides, is there any trial version? Maybe I’m wrong, but I didn’t notice.

Wojciech,
I haven’t found a trial download either. To give InfoSelect a try you have to buy a licence. I would suggest to buy the yearly subscription. If you don’t want to use the software after your testing period you can kindly ask the developers for a refund.
You ask: ‘Why it is so expensive?’ - this is exactly my question! I really don’t know why and my imrpession is that InfoSelect is overpriced even I know how complex and time consuming it is to develop software.
I won’t buy or test IS now because I am satisfied with my current software portfolio (ADM, Word, Excel, ProjectCards) and I don’t want to add another piece of software to just make my life more difficult. But I am very interested to hear from other users about their experiences using IS 9. The SmartFolder concept and the context tabs are very promising.
But my overall question is: When do the developer of InfoSelect hire an interface designer?
All the best,
Dominik

Dominik,
Thanks for your comments. Do you mean ProjectCards from http://www.projectcards.com/ ? As I can see, it is intended mainly for project/time management? And how would you compare it to ndxCards - I am thinking about buying them, I like the old “analog” idea of “cards”...

Wojciech,
ProjectCards (http://www.projectcards.com/) has its focus on project and time management. ndxCards is perhaps the best sofware based representation of index cards. If you need a system to enter information and knowledge on index cards then you should use ndxCards. If you want to use index cards for project management then you should use ProjectCards.
Please note that ProjectCards is quite pricy ($100.00) and is basically intended for use in a team (I do use it just on my own and it works).
Further, ProjectCards has its foundation in agile programm development what makes it a bit strange on the first sight as it is not based on the usual project mangement paradigm.
By the way: I have implemented part of the ProjectCards concept in ADM. Thanks to the great metadata system and the outlining feauture.
