Beginning to see the light with org-mode

ROFL. Sounds like a CRIMPer's dream come true ;-)
It helped me increase productivity more than some of the tools we discuss here :-)

InfoBase - what experience have you made?
11/26/2015
Hi.
Manfred Kühn recently wrote about the new versions of InfoBase (http://freeware.persoft.ch/program_en.htm). Looks like it could replace my InfoSelect installation.
Has anyone here experience...
Alexander,
>For example, my overall impression is that the Mac, iOS and Android development timeplans require one to upgrade their hardware unreasonably often. Aside from the financial cost of such i...
Paul: Yes.
AND when it comes to long-term availability of the data stored I prefer going with someone who sticks to what he developed (Tinderbox, Curio, Scrivener...) and not with someone who is known...
Hi Foolness,
count me as #2 though I do not use Android :-)
But Triage sounds too good.
And I am pretty sure that there are many others interested in your experience with these apps.

Ah, Zoe was faster :-)
iPad "Surface" -- er, "Pro"

Bill,
I dunno. I have a bunch of "painting" apps on my iPad. But to do serious work (i.e., doing a few simple scribbles as illustrations - I am a writer, not an illustrator), I go back to my Thinkpad...
iPad "Surface" -- er, "Pro"

UMake looks great - finally a reason to replace my iPad 2 ;-)
But I don't see why that should not be possible on a Windows tablet with decent processing power. The Lenovo x201/x220/x230 notebook/table...

Ah, you're on your iPad/iPhone. There I do it the same way as you.
But on my keyboard I have an Ü and an Ä and an Ü and ß :-)

I wonder where you found the Ü on your keyboard ;-)

That is my guess, too.

Handling mail messages as information
8/17/2015
Ken.
There is a software called AutoFiler for Outlook that automatically saves incoming emails as individual TXT, MSG, HTML or PDF files in your file system. Then you could use either a search tool s...
Thanks to all for your replies and hints. So I'll trust my next project to Ulysses (and do daily backups by exporting to DOCX ;-)
Question on MS SharePoint
8/17/2015
Hi Ken.
Well, I am not a Sharepoint expert. But the last time I took a look at Sharepoint (December 2014), it did not have what you describe:
..."does SharePoint offer a similar module that allows i...
Thanks Stephen.
"I’ve always been aware to make sure I give each device a chance to sync to iCloud before working on another device" - that means, you wait a minute or two before working on the...
Thanks Paul. That increases my confidence in the sync process :-)
Hi.
I started using Ulysses on my Macbook for a new project. As I have the iPad with me more often than the Macbook, I got the iPad version, too, in order to sync my library through iCloud.

Search-as-you-Type
8/10/2015
If you hadn't written "modern alternative", I would have suggested InfoSelect. For me, it's the prototype of search-as-you-type PIM. But I can't recommend buying the current edition (neither the one b...
Outlienrs/Task Managers for Mail

Ken.
I'd say the AutoArchive settings are less than ideal. Removing e-mails you still need to work on does not make sense.
If you can: Change the AutoArchive settings and keep important e-mails/fold...
Hi.
In Windows I use Greenshot (http://getgreenshot.org/).

Synology Note Station
5/24/2015
Thanks Bill.
I just checked: Note Station is also available for my DS115j NAS. I'll install it after my holidays. This could be the easiest way to replace Evernote as notetaker on Win/OSX/iOS.
Best ...
