Visual representation of data

"I found the help files unintelligible," ...
I understand that help files are important, even though I also know that most of us read them only as a last resort. To reject an application just becaus...

Quant,
this has nothing to do with the navigator which I actually never use. It's a new capability introduced in 4.0.0.1 about a year ago (September 22, 2009).

Visual representation of data

For what it's worth, ConnectedText's "graph command" lets you represent the data as "non directed" (or non-acyclic) graphs that do show the relationships and how close they are. The graph command is d...

Andreas,
why raise one's voice at all? There is nothing inherently wrong with Windows 7, and there is nothing inherently wrong with the Mac. They are different, and some will like the Mac, others will...
So, what do you folks do?

My brother has told me for years that I am a retired person. But I don't know about that ...

I am sorry for the "?" it was a long dash before I published the comments.
I just wanted to say that there is nothing wrong with text-based programs. They are just a different species of "animal." N...
But there is a picture on the right side towards the bottom. clicking on it reveals five screenshots. Or are you objecting to its text-based nature? It would be like objecting to a horse that it is no...

See also this: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/29/amazon-pulls-macmillan-books-over-e-book-price-disagreement/
If this is true, the price increase is "just" 50%.

It appears that MacMillan's e-books will from now on be available only on the ipad (and cost 60% more). One early effect of the ipad!

UV Outliner Now Supports Columns
1/27/2010
I don't think this comment is irrelevant, but I don't quite understand the point. The outline is just one pane (with or without columns as you want).
You can open up the Folder View (but there is no...

I really didn't want to damp any enthusiasm. It was just about a fact.
I also hope that there will be more development at the one-pane outliner front.

Ecco had (and has) columns! :)

Think Tank outliner on Windows XP

You might want to run it from DosBox or a similar DOS emulator. There are posts about such programs in the forum, which a search should bring up.

Interesting ... it works sort of like "Visual BrainStrom" (See http://www.brainstormsw.com/ for the text-based version). And the mind-map view is better than aerial view.

Lucas said: I would say that CT has a well-developed ?functional aesthetic.?
That's very well put. I couldn't agree more. I think that Brainstorm has this kind of asethetics as well.
I also tried T...
The footnote should read "I DON'T have any commercial interest in ..." I am sorry, and I do wish that the forum would allow corrections.

Peter made an offhand comment in another thread: "Meanwhile, ConnectedText?s Win98-like interface, like so much of the PC stuff, doesn?t really cut it aesthetically." This made me think about the rele...
Cassius,
As I said: "What does aesthetics have to do with researching and writing? When I wrote my dissertation I really wanted an IBM Selectric, but not because it was available in different (attrac...
Stephen,
if the keyboard is bad, don't use it. If the Interface is bad, don't use the application either. But perhaps there is a difference between how something feels and how something really is. Ev...
I know I am late to the party, but as someone who has no only written Ph.D. thesis, but also directed quite a few, I have been wondering about the following:
"Meanwhile, ConnectedText's Win98-like in...
InfoSelect Discussion Interesting

I don't know either whether there was censorship?only that there are people who think there was (and that someone went through the trouble of creating a backup forum).
As I said, I have long given up...
InfoSelect Discussion Interesting

I could not agree more. If they went back to something like the first version for Windows (at a reasonable price), I would find a use for it.

InfoSelect Discussion Interesting

I gave up on InfoSelect long ago, but have kept an interest in developments having to do with the program. In any case, not everyone sees the developments in the Forum involving Jim Lewis positively. ...

Actually, this suggestion has been made by others in the past as well. Just search for "DOSBox".
