Tools to work with lots of numbers

I own a beta license for IQ as well, but haven’t trusted the software with any “real” work. I’m still waiting to see if it will ever handle attachments (Office docs, PDFs, image files) as a field type. Adding them into the HTML wysiwyg editor just doesn’t work for me, especially after having worked with MyInfo, MyNotesKeeper, and UR. I’d love to see IQ have the option to provide both linked and embedded (compressed) attachments as a field type—maybe then I’d consider it competitive to the aforementioned.
Just my thoughts,
Glen

Yes, I try to restrain my presence to the IQ forum.

You’re not the only one in this situation !

It really is as stable as it gets, at least as far as your data is concerned. Being JET based, every change is saved immediately, so even if the app does crash, occasionally, your data is safe. In the 4 years that IQ has been available on the Net (yup, that’s a hell of a long time to be in beta, I know…), there has been 2 or 3 reports of data loss, and the causes have been fixed (all linked to advanced features, not normally used by users)
That said, the current effort is towards mobile device sync. We’ve got working prototype synching calendar, tasks and contacts with the corresponding Google services, as a bridge to your mobile devices.
There is still a lot of changes I’d like to do, but v1.0 release is likely once this sync effort is complete.
HTH !

You got my attention :-)

B-liner was indeed the first tool I tried in this regard (and, in true CRIMP tradition, registered) several years ago. At its time it was great, and helped me plan and present some projects in significantly reduced time. Nowadays its features have been surpassed by some mindmapping programs. As far as I know, it hasn’t been developed since quite a long time. The website makes no mention of Windows 7, only of Windows XP compatibility in the latest builds…

A few years ago I asked if B Liner was still being developed, and got no answer.
Again I have downloaded it - it looks like it was last revised about 6 or 7 years ago. Unfortunately, it gives me the kind of layout I want to graphically represent a specific project.
I wonder a) if anyone knows whether B Liner will develop further, or if it is an abandoned program,
and
b) which mind mapping or other program could most closely approximate the horizontal depiction of date B Liner provides.
Thanks.
