Columns in Ecco Pro
11/12/2019
Another way to do that in Ecco would be to create a drop-down list called Assigned to, and the choices you'd create were Emma, Bob, etc. So in one column you'd have who it was assigned to, and another...
Hi Peter,
To answer your original question, here's an incomplete list:
1) the outliner be rock-solid, not prone to crashing (Ecco was bullet-proof, and I really pushed it. DevonThink is also crash-...
Hi Peter,
I was deep into Ecco from version 1 to the end, and for years after, and I have to concede that the concept of Folders - as familiar as I was with them - is what confused most people for t...
SheetPlanner 1.0
2/12/2018
Yes. Based on years of using Ecco to do things no other software still cannot do, I've found that filters are useless to me without parents and children.
When I look at filtered results, the parents ...

A question about filters: if I apply a filter, will the filtered view display not just the items I've filtered for, but also parents (for context) and children?

SheetPlanner 1.0
2/3/2018
Ah. Does that mean that in 1.0 I could not copy and paste a .jpg into the outline either as an item by itself or as part of a text item?

SheetPlanner 1.0
2/3/2018
Sounds great Peter.
Also ... if I want an image in an item can I paste it in or is it just a link? And if it's a copy, can I re-size it? (Ecco could, OmniOutliner can't.)

SheetPlanner 1.0

So if I close the document and open it tomorrow, the same tabs will appear?
Also, in your original post, you mentioned a long term road map of planned features. Can you share some of those with us no...
SheetPlanner 1.0

Sounds more than "a bit" like ECCO, which makes me very happy. Nothing since 1997 has come close.
Am I correct that SheetPlanner will allow me to save multiple tabs, each of which shows a different f...
The late, lamented, missed-but-not-forgotten, Ecco Pro.
Never been anything like it since.

Columns and filtering by columns
11/3/2016
OmniOutliner 5.0, which is now in Beta only, does include filtering by columns, or by any of a number of criteria, much like Ecco Pro did. It works very well, and should be in the next major release (...
Using Aquaminds Notetaker (Mac) again
6/24/2016
I too was frustrated by the lack of menu bar icon for Focus and Unfocus in OmniOutliner. So I created two simple macros in Keyboard Maestro: Control-F for Focus and Control-U for Unfocus. They're easy...
DevonThink.
Forgot a few others:
1Password is a fantastic app for very securely storing passwords, log-ins, etc. Totally reliable, and it syncs effortlessly to my iPhone and iPad, so I'm never without this infor...
For the basics (eMail, calendar, simple notes, etc.) I stay inside the OS X ecosystem: Mail, iCal, Notes, TextEdit, Reminders, etc. I'm not constrained by whatever limitations they have, and like how ...
Visual representation of data
9/3/2010
Please forgive my butting in, but when one galumphs around the internet and sees so much rudeness, hostility and knee-jerk flaming, it's SO refreshing to read someone lowering the temperature by sayin...
And strokes for folks.
Having used pretty much every information manager in my Windows decades, only Ecco Pro had more capabilities than I needed. All the others - OneNote, Evernote, Zoot, UltraReca...

Hi Neville,
I can't say with scientific certainty that there's less damage from crapware in Macs than in Windows, but I can certainly say that it sure as hell seems that way to me. In over 20 years ...
DevonThink Not Opening Data Base
8/22/2010
I, too, find tags get in the way of how I work with DevonThink. I like the nested folder hierarchy, I replicate like crazy, and I use Smart Groups when necessary, because frankly I'm worried that my ...
Hi Jim,
Although I'm a happy Mac user, I agree with Grapeshot's overall approach. I like writing in a barebones text program, then bringing that into a full-fledged word processor for formatting. M...

My list is not too different from Wes's:
OmniOutliner for most of my organizing and for daily working on notes, projects, thoughts, etc.
DevonThink for journaling, and research
Evernote for the inf...
Mac: Notebook vs Notetaker
8/19/2010
I spent quite a bit of time trying out the various Mac information managers, and much as I appreciated the interfaces of Notebook and Notetaker, I decided the "notebook metaphor" didn't work for me. ...
