been experimenting with Infoqube ... it has an import option for OPML but none for a plain old tab-indented text outline. I tried cutting and pasting the tab-indented text but the indenting (i.e. the parent-child relationships) was not preserved by Infoqube.

I was able to paste the tab-indented outline text into Fargo and export it to an OPML file, which I was then able to import into Infoqube, and successfully preserved the parent-child relationships between items.

My question is - what other tools (either for Windows, or cross-platform, or web-based) would be good for this purpose? Fargo is a bit hard to get used to.

I found this earlier thread on the subject -

http://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/viewt/1137/

results of my experimentation tonight -

fargo preserved the indents in pasted text, and its native format is opml.

opml editor (http://home.opml.org/) - same.

tried noteliner - it preserved the indents in pasted text, but provided no opml export option that I could see.

tkoutline, checkvist - preserve the indents, and does provide opml export.

treeline, treepad - couldn’t find a way to paste the indented text into the tree. These appear to be 2-pane outliners that accept only short titles in the tree. I could be wrong.

I’ve also put in a suggestion to Pierre that Infoqube preserve the indents in pasted text.

TKOutline can do it. It’s under File -> Export To…
