Outliner for granular writing?
4/5/2020
WhizFolders works really well for me. Templates may provide the structure you want and you can set up styles. When done, a simple export to rtf is all you need.
I agree that NoteCase is also a good c...
MyInfo 7 may be released soon
2/28/2020
Agreed.

I can think of several programs that I would use. One function that you might consider is the ability to incorporate pictures. TheBrai nis an excellent choice. Ultra Recall and InfoQube should be on y...
TreePad website coming back to life?
1/24/2020
A quick check shows that treepad.com is registered to BEON Marketing, Inc., based in British Columbia, Canada. TreeePad was produced by Freebyte (freebyte.com) and is based in the Netherlands. They ar...
myBase is on sale today at Bits duJour
12/13/2019
Windows is my OS, so maybe our experiences are different. myBase is intriguing and I have gone through cycles of approach/avoidance over many years. It has been a year since I last tried and dropped i...

10/20/2019
Pagico has some appeal for me but the lack of import/export is a non-starter. Yes, I know there are very convoluted ways of accomplishing this but the procedures are way too involved. It's not good to...

Seems dead.

Ultra Recall version 6
10/1/2019
I can easily answer the first question. Nothing is radically different, but there are improvements to usability. The upgrade is well worth the cost for me, but you should know that several of the impr...
Ultra Recall version 6
9/30/2019
Just letting everyone know that Ultra Recall is now on version 6. A list of additions and refinements may be found at https://www.kinook.com/Forum/showthread.php?t=5602

Forgot to add that it seems like history repeating itself. I am thankful for IQ which has evolved wonderfully and is, for me, more than a complete replacement of Ecco.
Jon
There was a lot of talk about this on the Ecco forum. It appears to be a false hope/dead end/scam depending on the telling and your point of view.

Mind map, software generated
4/26/2019
Actually I just tried this with MindManager, FreePlane and XMind. Insofar as I understand your requirements, I simply copy/pasted a tabbed outline and it worked.

Best outliner software for windows ?
2/15/2019
Isn't the GTK used by NoteCase rather outdated too? It cannot do tables, struggles with encoding, web clips are not faithful, no numbered lists, etc. Even updating to GTK3 will not resolve most of the...

I see. Thank you for explaining.

Best outliner software for windows ?
2/11/2019
Agreed. WhizFolders is excellent for the uses you describe. I have used it for many years. Unless I misunderstand, WhizFolders does not handle attachments well. It is advised not to embed too many att...
Apps that offer cloning of notes
1/30/2019
As Pierre wrote, InfoQube is an excellent example. Here are some others:
Ultra Recall
MyInfo
NoteCase Pro
If you consider mindmaps a type of outline, then I would add FreePlane and the surface featu...
Don't know if this will help you, but MyInfo has a calendar and you can see when you have made entries for that date. It is pretty flexible and can easily (if I understand correctly) accommodate your ...
WhizFolders 7.2.2 (Windows)
1/15/2019
I believe the option for a portable version was removed in version 7.x. Version 6.x supports this. Perhaps your license will cover the use of version 6. If it does not, ask Sanjay. I am sure he will a...
best outliner you use? (2018)
12/10/2018
I agree. WhizFolders is quite good. I have corresponded with Sanjay recently about an outlining issue. As always, he was responsive and will look into a fix.

I might be missing it, but there appears to be no search.
And I agree - for what this program offers and with respect to its competitors, the price is ridiculous.

TheBrain 10 released
11/7/2018
Both 8 and 10 support export to folders. I don't have experience with how this works in 10, but 8 has readable data and attachments.
Jon
TheBrain 10 released
11/7/2018
One of the major differences between 8 and 10 is that 10 uses a database system that must reside in a specific location whose path cannot exceed 50 characters. Backing up would not be a problem but re...

Why no love for TagNotate?

WhizFolders will tag (keywords) specific words within your text. It will also allow for Boolean searches of multiple tags/keywords.
In Ultra Recall, you can set up a tagging system and search for mul...
