Best Apps for the Nexus
3/8/2013
I agree with you about the screen! The Nexus is one of the nicest little tablets out there, especially for the price. Having said that, I've just had a fun time playing with some of these Windows 8 hy...

Do try SoftMaker Office on the Nexus, too - it's a great suite and boasts an impressive standard of Office compatibility. It's also available for Windows. German, I'm glad to say!
Readdle
3/8/2013
ReaddleDocs - as it used to be called - has been updated to 'Documents', which is even better than before. The look has been streamlined, which is initially slightly confusing, but the decisions all m...
Your top 3 tools?

Oh, and it's German, too, which - in my perhaps biased view - is a Good Thing.

Just a quick response to Mark: we've started to use the MailStore Server (www.mailstore.com) to archive (and retrieve) our e-mail, and it's absolutely brilliant: very low resource requirements, variou...
New 64-bit version of DFM2HTML
2/27/2013
Now this isn't, strictly speaking, outliner-related, but one of my super-fave pieces of web design software, DFM2HTML (website of same name) has just been updated to support 64-bit Windows, which make...

Yes, perfectly true, Copernic does create indexes (indices), unlike the two others. But I think the two others win in terms of search result presentation!
I hadn't realised Adobe Reader XI is out - ...

Wow. Well, my first investigations of PDF-Xchange Viewer's search function hasn't uncovered such a large discrepancy between search results as yours, Dr. Andus, but my sample was much smaller. My obse...

Oh wow! I blush to admit that I haven't really investigated PDF-Xchange Viewer's Search function - it never occurred to me that it would be comparable (indeed, according to your experiment, superior) ...

Hm, tricky one. Okay, but it's going to be slightly artificial, 'cos I use loads of different apps/progs depending on what I'm doing. But this is a recent "workflow" that has been something of a revel...
New Ipad, what apps to put on it?
2/19/2013
My own most recent favourite is Notato, which doesn't just include Markdown, it also includes MultiMarkdown, plus support for math with LaTex, plus support for images, plus a very nice search engine t...
Outline +
2/19/2013
I've had good experiences with Outline+, which is a very nicely designed app. Having said that, there are other nicely designed apps out there, not all of which have desktop clients. I think Franz alr...
There is something immensely friendly about The Guide. The only thing I really miss is a word count facility - Germanists should note that it does count characters, which is already useful. It's one o...
[scampering of tiny CRIMPing feet to check out MemPad - weeeeeee!]
Yes, you're right, I hadn't noticed that - but as you say, you can mouse it. And you can play with the icons, too, which means you can create some really charming sets of notes in an app that doesn't ...
My top fave for precisely the kind of use you're talking about is The Guide (freebie, now on SourceForge at theguide.sourceforge.net). Although I'm not entirely sure it defaults to a standard font, it...
As I watch the way the Big Boys are fiddling about with their operating systems, I find myself feeling more and more bemused - and irritable.
The sheer messiness of Windows 8, and the lack of care be...
EndNote update!

Oh dear, couldn't control... the CRIMP impulse. It's all mine! My Precious!
EndNote update!

Looks pretty damn powerful, actually - a complete research hub.
EndNote update!
1/28/2013
Goodness, EndNote have just published an app for iOS - specifically for the iPad. Very interesting!
Document Management Systems
1/28/2013
Having looked into DMS to manage our fairly sophisticated requirements, I heartily concur that you have to define exactly what you want if you're going to get any value out of a full-scale DMS. There ...
CRIMP fodder

Another nice option (for the same price) is Outliner Pro for Android coupled with TreePad (the freebie version will do); Outliner Pro supports .hjt files (even rich-text ones, if you've got the Busine...

Does look nice, but Ema Personal Wiki does it for free... Mind you, it's not as CintaNotes-like.
Paperless / PaperPort 14
1/18/2013
Yes, 64-bit Windows is supported (as stated on the home page on Benubird's website) - but full-text searching isn't! How's that in a purported 'document management' application!?!
Amazing!
Amazing Resource

It is a truly elegiac piece, which very nearly made me feel nostalgic myself when I read it... despite the fact I've never actually used GrandView!
As for tea - you're right, Ken! My mounting sense o...
