Hello,
Does anybody use it? What do you think about it?
From the website:
‘PMM? Personal Memory Manager v7.0 is a powerful, organizational and mind-mapping style of software which allows you to organize and effectively visualize complicated thoughts, projects, ideas and concepts. Through the use of PMM, you may use the ability to organize your complex data and information through a combination of spreadsheets, databases, text notes, photos, documents and important links. PMM, in essence, replaces your need to rely upon multiple software applications, such as word and data processing programs, spreadsheet programs and even bookmarked links to important URL’s.’

Yep, I very quickly got the same Access Violation as did quant. Program seems overbuilt and fragile. Too bad, because it has features frequently requested and rarely implemented:
1) A direct and immediate tie between map and outline pane
2) Link types, searchable
3) Multiple floating note windows
For all that, already deleted. Fighting with it too much, and it doesn’t sport a spell czecher.

Very quickly: I played around with PMM a good bit last year and enjoyed it. It’s certainly unique, and the implementation of multiple saved views of data is useful. I also found it stable (version 6) and the developer responsive, so I expect the access violation error would get sorted out if you contact the developer.
That said, PMM hasn’t so far ended up fitting into my workflow, perhaps because of the amount of time it seemed to take to get data into and out of it (although I think there are new v7 features in this regard).
(Incidentally, in other news: After getting briefly into Tinderbox recently while I had access to a Mac, I’m now finding, to my delight, that InfoQube is becoming a strong Tinderbox alternative. More later.)

I did run into Acces Violation messages myself but I thought I had taken care of them. So I am sorry that there is still one out there or even two. I am shocked that you ran into them so quickly for naturally I will never allow that to happen if I can help it. Please let me know how I can reproduce the error and fix it asap. I am happy to learn that you like the features that were added to version 7.0 recently and I am open to any suggestions since I know how using outliner software was what I used before I started developing PMM, which was Framework.
