I'd recommend reading some of the Amazon user reviews of Version 12. Version 9 was excellent; Paperport has been a train wreck since, per its reviewers.

The Smereka TreeProjects is very fine stuff. Yaroslav, I especially appreciate the multi-window concurrent editing with smart splits, so the user doesn't lose momentum window-wrangling. References, a...

Never mind the digression on screen clutter. To customize the layout of a Piggydb screen, you can simply edit the corresponding HTML file, then shutdown and restart Piggydb. The script calls are in ne...
PiggyDB

It's terrific. Similar to TiddlyWiki, which was, for me, a productive system. But where TW hides and exposes a single document, Piggydb drives a database, so it won't get bogged down when entries numb...

You might take a look also at Qiqqa, which is a reference manager built around PDFs. It offers full-text search and text export, using a built-in OCR if necessary.

This remarkable program merits its own thread. I use it as a knowledge manager; its capabilities as a reference and citation manager are, for the moment, secondary.
Citavi's key capability for me is...
Brilliant Database is on sale for 25% off through January 5, using the coupon code on the order page. So it's $59.25 for the individual license. It's an intuitive, outliner-like database, for when you...
Thanks, David. I can't believe we've missed this one. Setting the academic reference manager aside, Citavi is the most sophisticated knowledge manager of any we've discussed. Multiple edit windows whi...

Yep, I very quickly got the same Access Violation as did quant. Program seems overbuilt and fragile. Too bad, because it has features frequently requested and rarely implemented:

Ultra Recall, if I'm not mistaken, displays detail or notes for only one item at a time. That's limiting for someone who wants to work on one note while referencing others.
That's a major advantage ...

Freeplane is an offshoot of FreeMind after some disagreement among the developers about the direction of that mindmap project. The Freeplane group modularized the codebase to ease development; they're...
