Nice change in Devonthink
1/5/2021
I like the Unix-like foundation in MacOS.
OneNote will let you set the horizontal size of text boxes, so that may help, should you revisit OneNote,
My solution in DevonThink is to use rtf notes for ...

Proprietary file formats are not a good sales point, but there is a spectrum. Proprietary and cryptic is something to avoid.
However, if a file format is obvious, just not documented, that's not so b...
Ha! I was doing it the hard way. Not the first time, unfortunately.

Here's something fun to do.
I've pretty much settled on Devonthink for fact and note organization. You can use DT's "copy item link" feature and paste to Sheetplanner using Edit->link to website to a...

But what did you do in all your spare time?
Just kidding - looks like a lot of really hard work, and congratulations!
Interview with CEO of omnigroup

Based on the first few episodes I’ve watched, William Gallagher interviews the CEO of OmniOutliner here - https://youtu.be/0LQQa4eTo3o
I have no ides why he has so few subscribers. If you like ...
MindNode adds outlining to mind maps
12/19/2020
MindNode has always had an outline view, but it was in a second pane, not full-window.
This is a very useful development. MindNode is glitch free in my use, and it exports clean OPML.
The Benefit of Nested Tags
12/17/2020
Ok, answered my own question.
My guess was correct. The DT manual says that adding a tag goes to the most recently defined instance of that tag name, if the name appears more than once in the tag inv...
The Benefit of Nested Tags
12/17/2020
I use tag hierarchies all the time in Devonthink, but I discover I have a question.
If I use the same tag name in two different parent tags, how does DT choose which one to use?
The answer isn't jum...
Nice change in Devonthink
12/14/2020
This actually happened months ago. I completely missed it.
Devonthink tags are really groups. The difference is tagging something automatically replicates it to the group for the tag. Untagging somet...
SheetPlanner 2.0 Launch

Nice, Peter!
About (especially "Outliner") subscriptions and the like (NOT OT here, but not at all indeed...)

Ok, I'll say it. I'll put salt on the elephant's tail. Some seem content to ignore the bird in the room.
The Brain's jump thoughts are sheer brilliance. I would use stronger terms if modesty permitte...
Coppice
11/30/2020
Martin, great to see you here.
I know you have about a million hours of hard work in Coppice. I hope it sells like wild fire.
The page-to-many-canvas paradigm is brilliant. Curio won't do transclude...
Coppice
11/28/2020
Coppice may have bugs, or Big Sur may be causing grief.
I downloaded the free version and got it to hang on renaming a page. Personally, I think it's worth waiting to see how Big Sur shakes out befor...
Coppice
11/28/2020
Coppice does something nice, if I understand the paradigm. I haven't downloaded the free trial yet, for fear of buying it.
Coppice has pages, which can be notes or attached files.
Pages can optional...

Coppice looks nice. If I didn't already have Curio, I'd be quite tempted.
Hmmm... $20 a year isn't that bad...
Have you used it, Drewster?

Here's a trick I use.
Since getting laid off, I've been posting fairly frequently on LinkedIn. Each post is an energetic teaser with a link to a blog post.
I got zero attention from recruiters until...

I don't think genetics has a role in this forum.
The Rise and Fall of Getting Things Done
11/26/2020
Wow, that Pomodoro article wandered a bit, didn't it?
Not that there isn't precedent in some of my own work, and culinary tasks can sometimes benefit from exactly that organizational technique. Just ...
TheBrain 12 - Beta Testing Started
11/20/2020
I never felt speed was a problem.
Trying to recall my Brain days, I think there's a speed setting for animations. Maybe you have that set slow and it takes its time migrating from one node to the nex...
Hyper Plan - interesting feature

I've looked at Hyper Plan in the past, thought it was cool, but didn't quite click the buy button.
This morning I downloaded the free trial and discovered something that I should have realized.

I use a Mac. If I right-click on an entry in the Library I get a context menu that includes "Copy >".
Hover on Copy and I get another menu with different forms of copy, including copy library path.

The transclusion feature has a quirk or two, but I don't think they are too bad.
It doesn't seem to like folders and sub-folders in the Locations or Favorites areas.
In any case, you have to use the...
Wow - I just got that to work. I tried it and got nothing, as I had in the past, then I tried to export it to PDF and got a warning transcluded files have to be in the library.
Fortunately, since I a...
Good food for thought here. I had a fling with Mellel, but couldn't set Nisus aside because I need mail merge. Every once in a while I'd cast around for a stand-alone mail merge utility but nothing ev...
