UV Outliner Now Supports Columns

Following on from Daly’s list, I have some other suggestions:
It would be interesting to see whether or how well UV Outliner can import outlines. I don’t see any menu item for importing data. Is cut-and-paste the only way? I seem to remember that Brainstorm can import Grandview outlines, as can Inspiration. PocketThinker has probably the widest range of importing options (Bonsai CSV, Ecco SCV (tab indented outline), Shadow Plan XML, Streamliner (whatever that is…), Text (in tab indented format), TreNotes XML, Word Document and RTF).
Are there any plans for providing some importing functions for UV Outliner? Has anyone tried importing outlines from other programs into UV Outliner ?
While on the subject, is it possible to export UV Outliner’s own outlines to MS-Word so that Word’s outliner can use them “as is” - i.e., without too much reformatting?

Fedir, thanks for the generous offer.
I’m happy to remain registered, though.
Thanks, again.

Jan,
are you still looking for adm?
If yes let me know, I found an old version (477)

Daly -
It’s certainly encouraging to see a new entrant into the Windows single-pane outliner stakes, but don’t let us get too carried away. Leaving aside Grandview - which had columns, but is not a native Windows outliner - PocketThinker, Bonsai and Shadow Plan all have Desktop versions with “columns” features. There are probably more out there, too.
In any case, although “columns” and checklist boxes are useful features, they are more relevant to the production of lists, project management, and other PIM-like activities than to the production of outlines per se. Making a broader comparison amongst Windows single-pane outliners, which means also including Maxthink, Notemap and Inspiration as well as those mentioned above, PocketThinker still seems to me to be - so far - the most elegant and useful. PocketThinker is, of course, no longer being developed AFAIK.

Derek,
What intermediate file format do you use to import GV outlines into Inspiration?
Thanks!
