Windows Simple Outline
2/8/2015
I did this Google search: "windows simple outliner" and got this:
http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/simple-outliner/aceb2934-8a84-40cc-8fe5-25c20dfd4c67
a program in the Windows store for ...
Well, it did take maybe 15 minutes of fiddling around to make sense of all that. But by the end, my tablet (which I use a lot, and like a lot) was once again pretty peppy. I have to believe that this ...
I had the same problem, but did finally find the answer here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/advice/11351514/I-updated-my-tablet-but-now-its-running-slowly.html
The relevant bits:
Step one is...
For me, cross-platform is iOS and Windows, making things even more complicated. And am I correct in believing that none of the ones you mention are actually outliners? That is, they don't really offer...

Once again, the depth of this group's expertise demonstrates itself to be far beyond mine! A learning experience.

Treepad has been around for a long time, and is very solid.
I think there are only two other choices beyond this and Cherry Tree:

Today, I found another open source, cross-platform, markdown-based, code folding capable editor. It's called Haroopad. You can download Mac, Windows, and Linux versions from here: http://pad.haroopres...
Fundamental shifts of position

And, oddly, I just stumbled across this: http://www.ollapp.com/app/cotton-notes/android. Not sure how old that is. I'm not actually a Cotton Notes user. But those who are (in the Mac world) rate it hi...

I believe Cotton Notes has a Chrome app - so does work cross platform.
Outlining in Mac Pages
1/13/2015
I was working with a long document in LibreOffice that somehow got corrupted (and for which Navigator wasn't working). Since I was using my son's old Mac, I tried to open it in his Pages '09 (4.3) pro...
Mmm, no. Code folding works by level of indent not headings. No spell check. No word count. Installed a theme, then couldn't find a way to select it. Twice, it didn't want to close at all. It's possi...
There's lots to like here.
- It's free. I like open source.
- Its implementation of extensions is far easier to wrap your head around than Sublime Text's. Brackets feels less complex generally (thank...
Wow! I just installed the plaintask pacage and I have to say: so Sublime Text is a highly customizable writing environment; it has multi-tabs, endless new plugins and add-in packages; terrific search ...
I can't get that link to work. My problem?
Haven't seen this one before here.
I got curious about markdown editors that allowed for code folding. Eventually, Google offered me something called Sublime Text 2, which is a multi-platform (Mac, W...
Workflowy - Updates? News?

I like the tool, too, and find myself spending more time in it for many of the reasons you say: easy to use, easy to fly around, easy to add and rearrange things, etc. I bought the annual subscription...
Interesting. While I haven't downloaded it yet, what I really like about this - as with Smartdown - is the built-in text folding - which is the piece that I find most useful.
On Dr. Andus's recommend...

I love that.
And in truth, some programs really are so good (so "pretty much done") that the pressure to "upgrade" breaks them. Consider the Bean word processor for the Mac, or the dual-pane outliner...

I tried that for awhile. With a big monitor, you can open the Navigator wind...
Caution: I haven't actually tried to import cwk files into LibreOffice, but I've seen on the net that several people have done so, and it's a direct import, not cut and paste.
I haven't found a moder...
I see that a number of Clarisworks users have migrated to Worfklowy - but you would indeed be working to recreate those indents. I've had good look reading in plain text files with tabs for indents in...
I was a big fan of Appleworks/Clarisworks myself, and used it for years. It was indeed a clean, intuitive, and surprisingly powerful program.
What you want to move to depends on what your key value o...

No, I haven't heard anything either. But your post did prompt me to go into my setting and choose the backup to Dropbox option, just in case!

I would indeed be interested in looking at some of the scripts. But on Android, I'm not looking for lots of features. Just simple, reliable.
Check out the Halna outliner for Android. A nice, clean tw...

First, happy holidays, everyone.
Second, my thanks. I check this site probably three times a day, and find it consistently cogent and on point. This is what an online community is supposed to look l...
