New Ipad, what apps to put on it?
12/12/2012
Well, I mean, dash it all, old man, you've got to say things as you find 'em, don'cha know? And I think it's simply spiffing that there are so many splendid fellows out there all beavering away, produ...
New Ipad, what apps to put on it?
12/12/2012
OneNote on iPad is pretty good, actually. Not as good as the original, but it does allow you to maintain the basics, and has a fairly good search function.
OneNote+ is very good indeed, but has a cou...
BasKet Note Pads
12/11/2012
Thanks for the encouragement - yes, the new Mint looks very... tasty.
As for KDE: it's just the libraries, but on my elderly HP/IBM/Dell machines, that's actually quite a heap of trouble. Put it thi...
BasKet Note Pads
12/11/2012
I must say it's nice to see that BasKet Note Pads (http://basket.kde.org/screenshots.php) has been revived again. One of the great OneNote equivalents for Linux, it's always been a favourite of mine. ...
AML Pages

Hm - I've taken a quick look - I like the emphasis on bookmarking, I must say: that's a nice feature.
But I've overindulged recently, I'm CRIMPed out... I'm not sure I can add yet another outliner to...
Office Timeline
11/30/2012
... and as a final sign-off this morning (sorry, been proofreading for about 50 hours solid, and have gone totally manic), can I bring to your attention Office Timeline, a PowerPoint add-on that allow...
Note taking workflow article
11/30/2012
On the subject of PDFs - and, I will admit, diversifying even further from the main topic of this forum, albeit in the interests of a secondary topic (information management) that also interests many ...
Note taking workflow article
11/30/2012
Great tip on Papers - I've been looking at "research manager" apps, and this looks very promising. But then again, PDFs are quite good at managing themselves: not many people realise that the basic Ac...
Thanks for that, Dominik - wow! Looks like a good toy!
Programmer's Notepad
11/26/2012
Well, I've just tried it, and yes, it does. Programmer's Notepad always asks you whether you want to save the current state of your projects when you exit. And if you say "yes", it reloads everything ...
Programmer's Notepad

Ah, thanks for the tip: I use Epistle already, which is very good, but I haven't had much to do with accented characters therein. I shall look at Denote forthwith (I've been running searches on German...

Recently, in one of my "back to text" moments (I know many of you here share this regressive tendency, especially all you CT lovers!), I was looking for a competent Windows text editor that would list...
TreeProjects updated to 2.7
11/19/2012
Yes, I've had a bounce-back message, and notice that the reason is a "550 mailbox quota exceeded" issue. That's probably what's affecting the web form as well. I know Yaroslav hangs out on this forum ...
TreeProjects updated to 2.7
11/19/2012
Steady up, Ian: everybody can have problems, and in my experience Yaroslav is usually quick to respond to e-mails and queries of any kind. I note the web-page contact form isn't working, and I've just...
Anybody met this outliner?
11/10/2012
Foliaro uses the same simple but brilliant approach as TreeProjects to views: you can drag and drop tabbed notes around the screen and they "snap" into position alongside/above/below other notes. For ...
Anybody met this outliner?
11/10/2012
Has anybody else used/experimented with this rather charming outliner: Foliaro (www.foliaro.com)? It has the rather unique property of being a two/multiple-pane outliner that also supports single-page...
Sorry, Alexander, just spotted your post. Correct, output from ListPro in standard CSV format, using a very simple scheme.
As for Todoist: both Allegheny and Budoist work offline, in fact! They synch...
which solution do you suggest?
11/9/2012
Having another look at ConnectedText (sorry, I still don't really get it!), I realised it reminds me of something I was investigating a couple of years back: Remus Information Management. This might b...
iPad Mini and outlining
11/8/2012
Yes, I think it is - and possibly even more powerful. The desktop app is not complete, yet - it doesn't have a search function, for example, or support the password-protection function in the iOS app....
iPad Mini and outlining
11/8/2012
I'm sorry to hear Notebooks didn't work for you, but it's very much horses for courses. I too went through a love-hate period with Notebooks, because it is a very sophisticated app with some idiosyncr...
which solution do you suggest?
11/8/2012
If you are thinking of wikis, I can also recommend ProjectForum, a commercial product but very modestly priced for a basic version ($25). There is a free version, but it's fairly useless. But if I wer...
which solution do you suggest?
11/8/2012
Funnily enough, I'm tempted to recommend that you take a good look at WYSIWYG web editors; some of them (e.g. WYSIWYG Web Editor) handle all the media and pages in a single large file, and include sea...
Thanks for that efficient list, Alexander. I've tried B-Folders and been rather impressed! It's imported my old ListPro files quite nicely (I've been trying to manage them with List Master, but the An...
Notecase Pro is coming soon at Bits du Jour
10/29/2012
Yup, CRIMPed that up straight away! I love all the Linux support in particular, plus the Android support could be very useful.
I've used the basic (free) version of Notecase for years, and always bee...
Storybook Pro 4.0 is out
10/24/2012
Thanks for the tip about Story Turbo. I'm a regular TreeSheets user, but the sheer flexibility of Story Turbo is exhilarating! And the output options are, quite simply, amazing! I've bought two licenc...
