RightNote Printing Question

hello Ken,
yes, indeed i just figured
that RightNote can’t combo tag
the tags that are located on the same tree level
but only further drill down on tags deeper.
(for some reason i had thought it could)
but here is a great workaround
that will surely solve this problem
and without even the need
to tag or filter anything
but even so much simpler !
—-
just put all your “project open tasks” folders
into one ULTIMATE TOP FOLDER called “OPEN TASKS”
and then also one ultimate top folder for “DONE TASKS”
and then each time you want to print
“ALL open tasks form ALL projects”
you would simply just select
THIS ultimate top folder called “OPEN TASKS”
and RightNote would then instantly display
the entire sub-tree hierarchy in the print preview
to as many levels deep and wide
as can be fitted on a paper!
provided that you only in the Print Options have
the “Selected Note and subtree ” option checked
now it cannot be simpler than this
and you won’t be able to find
a loophole this time :-)
greetings
Marko

Hi Marko,
I think that Rael should give you a commission for all of the efforts that you have put into making his program meet various needs! I played around a bit more after posting yesterday and then mulled things over a bit afterwards. I suspect that one issue I am having is that tweaks around the margin of my logic/paradigm/layout are not able to solve my issues, and I am just not able to find an alternate model that will work. It is only natural that we want a product to think and handle data like we would normally do, give or take a tweak or two. But, moving to another model to meet the needs of the software becomes a gray area for me. ON the one hand, thinking outside the box can sometimes be healthy and open up new ways of working (and something I am hoping will be the case here). On the other hand, software is supposed to be a tool to help us, and if it requires too much accommodation, then it does make me wonder if I have selected the right tool. Since RN offers many useful features, I am willing to try and think outside of the box, but if any significant paradigm change is required in how I handle my data, the change needs to be organic as I have rarely seen radical changes properly take hold (like OneNote which I like but can never seem to set up in any effective manner). I thought a bit more about some possible “large” tweaks similar to your last recommendation, and I need to see if my mind will take to any one particular change. I am hoping that something will work because I find RN to offer a number of useful features, and I would hate to think that it was rigid thinking on my part that prevented things from working out.
Thanks again,
—Ken

Ken, I’ve been trying to follow this conversation with limited success. Please forgive me if this suggestion does not fit your schema. Have you tried CintaNotes?

Hi Jon,
Appreciate the suggestion. I did initially look at CintaNotes a year or so ago when trying to find a better software fit for my needs. CN had a lot of nice features, but was missing some that I had wanted. I could look at it again, but I typically manage 10-20 projects at any time, and I suspect that this might swamp CN’s tab system. But, I will give it some consideration again. I realize that when all of my work/data needs are fully considered, there is probably no software that can fully meet them the way I like, but if I am going to have to compromise, I would like it to be in a manner that works for me as best as possible. I feel that I am somewhat stuck between task mangers and note-taking applications. I am primarily managing projects and need to keep track of, and prioritize, tasks, but I also need to keep notes so I am current as to the status of each project/task. Task managers are good for tracking tasks, but not so good for handling notes and reference materials. Note-taking applications are great repositories, but horrible for effective task management.
Thanks,
—Ken

I imagine that your list of considered software includes ToDoList (very feature rich and intricately customizable) or EssentialPIM?
