Hey Neville, thanks for the reply.
Re speed issue - I may be more sensitive to it because the software is in beta.
I’d clip something, and then want to be sure it was added so I waited for it to be added.
If the software was further along and I *knew* it was adding items from experience I probably would just keep on clipping or doing whatever, and would not have been so sensitive to the speed issue. In other words, our awareness of speed at this point may be an artifact of working with beta at this stage, assuming hat the data is moving along the system at the speed it should be.
I will wait on the tags, folder issue.
My problem now is I don’t have time to wait if I am going to change from EN, in part of my financial pressures. And if I stay with EN my anxiety about the competence of its future development, based - ironically - on its current browser product will only increase.
When I get a chance at some point I will try working with multiple instances of Clibu open.
And yes, please shrink the distances between items in the article list because it does take up too much screen space and will slow down scrolling through the article list.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Daly

Well, dang! Those multiple options for Clibu sound highly desirable! I’d love to be able to run an in-house server, for example; very convenient.
Go for it, Neville!

Daly, I have always been interested mainly in Morris’s activities as a printer rather than in his purely literary work, but I have spent quite a bit of time going through his papers at the British Library and elsewhere. Morris was a bundle of energy and accomplished a great deal in his life, but I sense that he was also extremely messy and disorganized. Fortunately, in his later years he had Sydney Cockerell working for him as a secretary, and Cockerell was meticulous beyond belief. Cockerell’s usual technique was to bind miscellaneous documents together in notebooks and then write a careful table of contents on a flyleaf in his small, precise handwriting.
By the way, a small update: it appears that OneNote can’t really handle a database of 2,000 items. It has been collapsing repeatedly the past few days. So for the catalogue of Morris’s library I am now thinking of turning once again to MyInfo, which doesn’t have the flashy features of Evernote and OneNote but is wonderfully stable.

The Web Clipper uses the same real time capabilities as Clibu to communicate with the server and is capable of communicating with any instances of Clibu you may have open in the Browser. If there is any problem with a Clip you will be notified promptly, not that there should be.
You will also see a notification of new Clips & new Articles from other Users on the top menu bar in the Browser, when you have Clibu open.
Even though Clibu is in Beta it’s core functionality has been in use for quite a while now and is robust.

Good to know, I’ve been wondering about how scalable OneNote really was. It would be really useful if there was a standard way of stress-testing all the various notes database programmes, to see how they compare re their max. load capacity and performance…
