WinCatalog

I went to "Alternative To" website and entered Wincatalog. The top choice returned was "Where Is it". I just installed it and gave it a quick try. No customizable columns there, either.

Big letdown. Looks like you can't customize columns.

I don't see it on Bits today but thanks for bringing it up. I'm going to try it. I've been trying to better organize my PDF's. I wasn't looking for anything too complicated: just something that wil...
I'm in the same position. I'm thinking about getting it just because it seems decently powerful and is on sale. Looking at it closer might be a future retirement project. I kind of regret not getti...

Thanks for everyone's detailed suggestions. I have a lot to work through. As Jim mentioned, I want to stick with PDF's because I more easily do markups. I used Scrapbook Plus for a while but finall...
I've had the same experience with "Print to PDF". Some links are preserved but many are not. The biggest problem though is that it regularly butchers pages to the point that they're unreadable (over...
Jim,
Lately I've been using the Firefox Addon "Print Pages to PDF." It preserves clickable links. It also claims to convert Scrapbook files to pdf's though I can't test it right now because Scrapbo...

Gary,
Nothing earth-shattering. It's just a waste of time to download the article again, figure out that it's a duplicate, and delete it. Often I change the name of the file when I download it from...
Alexander,
That's what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, it's a Chrome extension and I use Firefox or IE to capture articles. I like to convert webpages to PDF's. This can be done by printing the we...
Cassius,
That looks like a good way to check for duplicates but I'm hoping to avoid the extra steps each time I want to capture an article.
This is a nagging problem that I've never been able to find a satisfactory answer for. I've finally settled on a reliable system for capturing net information but I don't know how to keep track of w...
Advice on research software

Yes, I'd already been thinking about the problem of maintaining contest if the material is broken up into snippets. You could partly get around this by assigning text needed for context to the same f...

ML, I appreciate the detailed explanation of how you did your photo research. I'll have to think about how I could apply some of your approach to my own text research. It sounds like you found Filem...

Thanks, "Other" Bill. That's what I was looking for. I think I'll do a trial of Filemaker and set up a small sample database that I can experiment with.

Bill, it's interesting how you've been able to overcome one of Evernote's weak points. For this particular project though, I think I"m going to need something different. Organizing will be paramoun...

Yes, Steve, I've read his blog. I may very well go with ConnectedText but I was hoping to get some feedback on whether anyone has tried to use a regular database program for the kind of work I'm desc...

I appreciate the many excellent posts on this forum. I'm hoping to get some advice on how to handle an upcoming research project on the Battle of the Little Big Horn.
There is a huge amount of sou...
Amode V3 plans shelved

Thanks for bringing this up. I hadn't heard of this software. If these are the same people who developed Bluebeam Revu, I'm interested on that basis alone.
Your top 3 tools?
2/26/2013
1) PDF Revu. I spent several frustrating years trying to find a good PDF mark-up tool. Now that I've found it, it has truly changed the way I work. When I have to do a job I often try to organize i...
I'm a decent speller, so I rarely need to have a blatant misspelling corrected. 90% of my spelling mistakes are simple transpositions when I'm typing fast. I type "takign" instead of "taking". I su...
I love the power of Phraseexpress. It does just what I need...when it works. It's been a struggle keeping it functioning and I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth the effort.
1) It stops working, a...
ultrarecall deal coming soon on bdj
1/10/2013
Jim,
I believe you use Ecco Pro (as do I). What tasks do you use Ultra Recall for instead of Ecco? I did a trial of UR a few months ago but didn't put in enough time to really get a handle on it.
