Hi Wayne,

maybe you gave up too early, and maybe I can convince you, to give it another try - because it’s all there:

OPTIONS - SETTINGS - INTERFACE:
Here you can activate gridlines, highlighting of full selected row and also highlighting of sorted column.

The default attributes can’t be changed, they belong to the system or certain file types. But you can create your own attributes, and as I understand you, you did that already.
Now if you right click on the grid-header you get an awful long list of available attributes, where you can check or uncheck those which you want to be displayed.
Your self-created attributes will probably show up at the bottom of the list and they will appear in the grid if you check them.

You can easily edit them in-place. If you double-click on a cell, a little editor will open where you can enter up to 32 KB (or so) of text. Works also for the default description-column.

Anything left? I don’t think.

Ah, and don’t miss the category-feature. Unlike most other similar programs you can have hierarchical categories and you can display multiple categories for each item in the grid (though you can only have one category-column of course).

Best regards

Achim

PS: If you can get along without the file-organizing features, maybe GS-Base will also be an option for you (has configurable columns, edit-fields for long text and fields for attachments)
