Rightnote and Evernote
4/16/2013
Potentially, yes, but as I said earlier, Rightnote is not quite there yet.
I'm following these developments with considerable interest. I don't expect Rightnote ever to offer a full-scale synthesis o...
Rightnote and Evernote
4/13/2013
Last year there was some discussion here about Rightnote's ability to sync with Evernote, and I noticed today that in the latest version of Rightnote that there is now some improvement in that service...
This is probably a low-tech solution, but it's easy to copy a note link in Evernote and then paste that link into another program. I've done some experiments with MyInfo, but I assume it would work wi...
Your top 3 tools?
2/26/2013
P.S. I just noticed this morning that in the latest version of MyInfo it is possible to paste in links to Evernote notes. It's good to have two of my favorite programs on speaking terms with each othe...
Your top 3 tools?

(1) I'm working on a book right now and am taking notes in Evernote, mainly because the OCR is convenient and the software lends itself to quick-and-dirty notes. I suspect that I need that kind of app...
Multiple Monitors
1/19/2013
I'm astonished at how many of the folks here are using multiple monitors. On my fairly large study desk I have (1) a large scanner, (2) a small compartmentalized box that holds pens, scissors, magnify...
MyInfo again
12/21/2012
Another small update from MyInfo:

The list of improvements:
Improved: document hints in filter pane, search results and reminder window now show fu...
The latest MyInfo release
12/8/2012
Petko has just produced another release of MyInfo (which he describes as a "small update"). The most useful new feature, to my mind, is an improved tag editor: tags now appear in a small panel directl...
Note taker accepting input via email
11/17/2012
When you send something to the Evernote mailbox, you can add two kinds of information in the subject line: @[notebook name] #[tag name]. You can of course have more than one tag. This system directs y...
Rich View format in RightNote
11/15/2012
This morning I did what I should have done in the first place: I sent a note to the developer, Rael Bauer. I got a very quick response back from him that explained all. Under the view menu, uncheck sp...
Rich View format in RightNote
11/15/2012
This is a stupid question, and I feel embarrassed asking it, but here goes . . .
I am continuing to play around with RightNote, but I am still baffled by the Rich View format that is used as the def...
RightNote vs. NoteCase Pro
11/2/2012
MyInfo is my main note-taker, but I bought a license for RightNote recently because it looks promising. So far I've used it mainly for its virtual notes feature. I have a lot of miscellaneous files in...
Daly, I agree with your observations completely.

Digitizing old notes -- in Evernote?
10/26/2012
Libin has just proven me wrong by offering a public tribute to Pachikov's role in creating Evernote:

But elsewhere in this two-...
Digitizing old notes -- in Evernote?
10/25/2012
Phil Libin is an extremely clever and witty man, and I always enjoy reading his pronouncements, but I'm astonished by the truncated version of Evernote's early history that he offers from time to time...
Digitizing old notes -- in Evernote?
10/24/2012
To return to the subject of my original post . . . it strikes me that another possible substitute for Evernote in this case is a combination of PDF files and RightNote.
RightNote allows virtual link...
Digitizing old notes -- in Evernote?
10/24/2012
I have a lingering distrust of Evernote for the same reason. The early history of Evernote has been heavily mythologized by Phil Libin and others. I have no doubt that they were struggling in those da...

This is extremely interesting and useful technical information. Thanks.

Digitizing old notes -- in Evernote?
10/23/2012
I've been writing books and articles for many decades, and I still have a ton of old, pre-digital notes in my study and basement. I'd like to preserve those notes; even more importantly, I'd like to h...
Storybook Pro 4.0 is out
10/22/2012
Thanks for this suggestion. I downloaded Story Lite and played around with it a little. I'm still not clear whether the individual notes can be imported from external rtf and text files, or whether pe...
The Rightnote UI
10/16/2012
In RightNote you can drag and drop a plain text file from Windows Explorer into the tree panel; at that point one of the choices you are offered is a virtual attachment. That means you can view and mo...
The Rightnote UI
10/16/2012
A modest PS.
I bought the RightNote license and like it very much, but I continue to have the problem described above -- and this time I can't blame some belated indexing. Still, it's an excellent p...
The Rightnote UI
10/9/2012
I did another experiment this evening -- very interesting. Once again I created a new file and started linking PDFs, and for a second time I discovered that one of my linked PDFs was not yet searchabl...
The Rightnote UI
10/8/2012
Jon, what happened is rather mysterious and difficult to describe, but here goes:
I created a new file and linked a couple of dozen PDF files of books. Then I did a series of test searches, and at fi...
