Regarding Qiqqa, it is as I said, a very intriguing and cleverly designed program, though not aesthetically. However, it’s OCR-ing feature is not nearly as good as ABBYY’s.

Mendeley is much improved, and may be worth checking out again.

The problem with Mendeley (they should change this name: whenever I see it I am reminded of Dr. Death, Josef Mengele) is you get only 1 gig of free space, and I have about 40 gigs of pdfs, and the number is growing! Plus you have to mess with groups and the like. You are right: the program has gotten better, but not exactly what I need, considering the large number of pdfs I have, and I don’t want to spend a fortune for cloud space.

Have you considered using Google Docs. It you can upload folders full of document, optionally converting them to text. Either way, it is searchable and you can create a tree of labels. As a bonus, it is easy to have documents in more than one places in the tree (simply assign more than one label

basilides,
I was a UR user who experienced a problem with UR freezing constantly after upgrading to the latest version of Internet Explorer on my PC. The problem went away when I went back to an earlier version of IE. Could that be your problem?
