Hi, all.
I’m sure that those of you who care about this release already have the news, but just in case I thought I’d post it here.
To me the best new feature is the list of topics (articles or items) now can be viewed as a tree with hyperlinks providing the hierarchy. This means that any topic can be both a heading and a sub-heading of another topic… which provides what seems to me a unique view of your data structure. That is, it is a view of relationships the way mind maps show relationships, but in a more familiar “outline.”
There have also been some nice graphical improvements.

Hi Stephen
In my opinion what shines most in the new version is full text search improvements. The use of synonyms adds another dimension in searching. Also, using scripts I think I can automate many operations I do in my daily works. Really a great product (for those who like wiki systems).

May I add that there is a clipboard catcher in the new version 2.0.0.9 - finally a fast way to add new clips from the web…

Steve -
What do you find that you are using ConnectedText for these days? I like the plain-text aspects of personal wikis, but I still can’t find a job for them to do that my other programs don’t seem to cover. Maybe that is lack of imagination…:-)

I tried to send the CT vendor the following, but gave up after 5 tries:
Consider this scenario:
I purchase Connected Text to run on my new Toshiba laptop.
Seven years later, I have hundreds of Connected Text files and want to put them on a new computer. However, your company has gone out of business.
What do I do? Export, one-by-one, each of the hundreds of files to another format? With your license policy, you should have a batch conversion program.
