RightNote Pro
1/28/2014
I'll put in a word here in defence of RightNote. I spent a long time searching for a note-taking program that was stable and robust and that offered faithful web page capture with a simple global keyb...
Omea Pro FINALLY open source!!!
3/23/2013
I spend much of my online life in Google Reader (well, actually in programs that use Google Reader to sync: Feeddemon on Windows and various Android apps). I read this forum, and most online content, ...
These days, I use Mempad to cover requirements similar to yours. Very light, two-pane, user-changeable global shortcut to launch/minimise. Ctrl+Tab to alternate focus from tree to editor, Alt+Ins to c...
For text expansion (and more), I use Macro Express: http://www.macroexpress.com/
For clipboard management, Clipcache Pro: http://www.xrayz.co.uk/clipcache/
Right Note
2/22/2012
I can't say I have extensively tested RightNote, but I have tested it enough to buy a licence using the BDJ offer.
Since my last test, crucially, RightNote has added web page capture (which seems to ...
MyBase and NoteFrog on BDJ
2/8/2012
I too am attracted to NF's approach and purchased a licence in the past. I'd like a modern, reliable Cardfile program.
But I just can't get past the crude, ugly, non-standard interface. Windows 3 is ...

Happy holidays

Thank you Steve, and season's best wishes back to you and all the other regular contributors here. There's always something worth reading here (only yesterday I took advantage of Yaroslav's offer on T...

Outliner/PIM roll call: Fall 2011
9/24/2011
My aim is always to reduce the number of programs I use, but in practice the list seems to grow.
Outliner: Noteliner (most significant find in recent years)
Email: Thunderbird

On the basis that no single-pane outliner should go without a mention in this forum, I haven't seen this program discussed here before. I've only just come across it, so I've yet to try it myself.

I do think Steve is right -- your opinions on this topic are likely to be age-related.
I started in the DOS world and yes, I live in plain text wherever possible. For example I don't think I've ever ...
Like many people here, I have spent way too much time looking for the magic bullet, a program which will collect, outline and organise all my data and thoughts, removing the need for other software. A...
two pane outliner question
7/31/2011
Nathan,
If I understand your needs correctly, perhaps the latest version of Noteliner is worth a try. Version 3.2n has a collapsible navigation pane. In my opinion it is, in other respects, a fine ou...
Noteliner adds tables
7/3/2011
The latest beta of Noteliner has a surprise addition (to me anyway) ? tables.

You don't need to be a programmer to put this kind of thing together yourself.
Many years ago I got bored waiting for my employer to buy a long-promised database for our newspaper reporters and photo...

Software for Authors

The only big mistake I made in this area was trusting single Word files to hold large chunks of text (tens of thousands of words). The scars still remain. Don't do it.
Using a different Word file for...
Full-screen mode in Writemonkey does block out the whole screen. That was the developer's main purpose in creating Writemonkey (it is more or less a clone of Writeroom - http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/...
