Devontthink/Curio/Nisus tip
1/20/2020
I think Devonthink and Curio are both fine tools and I'm glad I have both.
Nisus suits my tastes for word processing, but there's a minor problem with Nisus and either Devonthink or Curio.
Both DT a...
Hierarchical tags
1/5/2020
The recent post about Zettlekasten may provide some food for thought.
If you can search for tags with wildcards, like "recipe.*" it sounds like your solution would work. Even if you can't, the additi...
Zettelkasten is a neat concept. One drawback in my newest fascination, Curio, is that it doesn't support hierarchical tags.
If you can impose a hierarchy on tags, they become an alternate organizatio...
2019 reflection question

I do most of my crimping vicariously, and wish this site were more active.
New products are good to hear about, because looking at a new answer to an old question helps find better ways to work, even...
2019 reflection question
1/2/2020
I'm happier with my writing environment than I've ever been, I think.
Devonthink handles my large document libraries. I've got one that's about 8500 documents in a hundred or so groups with about 400...
Thanks, Paul - I was trying to drag within the Organizer.
I appreciate your help!

How does that work, Paul? When I drag one Organizer entry onto another, it moves it as a child of the idea space I dragged it on.
That sounds like an interesting feature.

You are spot on. Tools don't do the work, anyway, the craftsman does.
Numbers is not unlike Curio, actually. For a corkboard, just delete any tables and use text boxes. For my use, the model of a bla...
Ditto this. Curio is not really that complex, once you get into it. It's more flexible than complex. You can think of it as Microsoft One Note on steroids, and you're not far off from what it is.

Wow - note the time stamps on my last post and this one. In that interim, I sent email to Zengobi with observations about Curio _and_ got a nice reply back from George.
The product is great, features...
Good to know, Paul.
So far, I find myself thinking that Curio is what One Note should have been. It's more flexible, all the figure types, etc., it's just good stuff.
It's got some quirks. I wouldn'...
Very generous of you, Matthew.
The first clue that Curio is awesome is Zengobi writes product documentation in Curio. That old saw about eating your own dog food is true. If you have to use the tools...
Interesting - 20 minutes ago as I drove to lunch I was thinking that if one object could link to another, I'd probably have to grab a copy. Otherwise, I am truthfully happy and productive with tools l...
Curio looks very nice indeed, and may be superior to the mish-mash currently serving my needs. There is a non-existent mind map feature I sure would like to get, though.
I call it "views."

Portable local file links in Macos
11/25/2019
Aha! My username is different on the laptop, so the path to my home directory is the inconsistency. I see a symlink in my future.
Thanks!
Portable local file links in Macos
11/25/2019
One of the reasons I've enjoyed Devonthink for even small projects is that I can use tags and file links. When DT syncs to another Mac, all the links still work, which is not typical of links in a Min...
I get a lot of good out of Devonthink for large libraries of PDF files and notes. Curio sure looks nice, though.
If I understand correctly, it doesn't have to store projects in the cloud. Cloud stora...
It's a shame Devonthink's web server option is so expensive. I don't have enough of a need for it to justify the cost, so I don't spend the money.
If it were lower cost, it seems like they would snag...
DEVONthink 3 officially released

DT 3 looks nice.
"outliner mode" file manager
9/10/2019
This is one way I use Devonthink. Individual groups (folders) can be set to manual search order.
Unfortunately, when you view a tag, you can sort them in various ways, but not manually. I haven't fou...
Ulysses version 18 in beta
9/6/2019
I drifted away from Ulysses because I didn't like everything stored in-app. If I use a keyword in a blog essay, I don't want that keyword infusing into a short story or novel project. I don't use keyw...
Ah, to Android. Great mobile OS, but not supported by Chronosync.
I recently added scripts to my sync setups. Nothing fancy, just things to add a "last synced" message to a file on the root dir of my...
I don't like cloud sync. I have a feeling of loss of control and I don't want to worry about unknown use of what I write.
USB devices aren't as reliable as "real" storage, so I don't want to keep my ...
