Thanks gunars,

I’d seen the outline feature when he added it some months ago. Yes he’s got tags too which work great. I chopped up my phone notes (with a little free software last year to recognize separators) into hundreds of little notes. And my old copy of Rightnote blew away the competition, by how fast & well it searched tags.

I’d forgotten about the outline feature he added. It might well do the trick. In fact with this double barrel structure columns, there is a lot I can do, a lot. For a start, create some ready to go genetic writing templates. Time to get the new pro version probably:

Thanks again for the heads up, great tip.

Any other suggestions welcome.

This is very like the new software previously discussed on the forum: Indigrid at https://innovationdilation.com/. But instead of a structured display liited to level, you can add the views you want on the same screen.

Basically, a 2-level Miller Column outliner with rich text pane…

Recently, I explored the possibility of a simpler (and totally free) version of InfoQube which would be Miller Column based (with rich text pane), so it should fit the bill as far as what you’re looking for.

Thanks jaslar,

I’ve been following indigrid developments, let’s hope it keeps improving.

Thanks Pierre,

I’m sure many are looking forward to use it when you release it.
