Programmer's Notepad
11/25/2012
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...
Using text to manage tasks
10/18/2012
I'm an inveterate user of the Logitech keyboard, too, having tried about four others. It's very, very nice, even though it holds the iPad at a fixed angle (definitely a weak point).
I have been readi...
Software Recommendation (Onenote vs. Others)
10/18/2012
Yes, I'd agree with that. We've moved over to PDF Xchange Viewer as our main in-house software - very powerful, loads of lovely features, and the Pro version is very cheap. Acrobat is well over-priced...
NoteLynX Pro
10/18/2012
I do have this lovely little app on my Samsung Galaxy Note, and it is gorgeous. But after playing with it for a bit, in true CRIMPer tradition I hardly touch it now, simply because it doesn't interact...
FoldingText for Mac out
10/18/2012
Hm - well, they may have dropped "support" for the iPad 2, but WriteRoom is certainly still running quite nicely on my iPad 2.
I still rate Hog Bay software quite highly (in particular, WriteRoom mus...
Using text to manage tasks
10/16/2012
Sorry, Franz, only just seen this. Hm, I can't really advise, unfortunately, because I haven't used Notebooks for iPhone for a long time (I have a Galaxy Note!). It has to be said that Notebooks doesn...
Using text to manage tasks
10/15/2012
In response to a query by Dr. Andus:
Well, I did play with text-based methods of task management (including e.g. TaskPaper for iPad), but didn't find anything that really pressed my buttons. But what...
Software Recommendation (Onenote vs. Others)
10/11/2012
I do agree with what you say about tagging - and also about cross-platform. There's a huge opportunity here for somebody to produce a really powerful cross-platform app that combines the strengths of ...
Priority Matrix - Q&A
10/11/2012
I've just been reminding myself of Priority Matrix - I installed the iPad version a long time ago, then uninstalled it. But it's made some impressive strides since then - looks really rather good. I d...
Software Recommendation (Onenote vs. Others)
10/11/2012
Another alternative you could consider is SilverNote, which is currently in beta but looking very promising. Nice support for images, tables, drawings etc. And a nice, responsive developer, too! And t...
Software Recommendation (Onenote vs. Others)
10/11/2012
In fact, tags do still exist in OneNote, although they appear to have been deprecated. I use them myself (you can customise the ribbon and insert various tag-related commands into any tab you like; yo...
I must confess I do like Inspiration. I didn't spot this update - thanks for the news!
