Hello,

First of all I would like to say hello to everyone as this is my first post.  I was introduced to OutlinerSoftware through DonationCoder where I’ve been also searching for recommendations.

To provide a quick overview, I am looking for a personal information management software that combines the following features that I’ve greatly enjoyed with other apps:
- fast-as-you-type search with multi keyword highlighting (different color per word) similar to X1 search
- note title fast-as-you-type filtering like in TreeProjects
- Builtin file viewer and indexer of most popular document files including PDF, DOCX, XLSX, XLS, PPT, etc similar to X1 utilizing Outside In libraries from Oracle (previously Stellent).  If a document file needs to be edited, there should be an option to edit using the native app (i.e. MS Word, MS Excel, Acrobat, etc).  Once the edits are made, the updated file should be automatically saved in the manager’s database (similar to Evernote or TreeProjects)
- Rich text editing of notes with advanced table support (merged cells, cell margins, hide borders, border styles, etc) and basic image editing tools (crop, rotate, resize, border shadow, draw shapes on top, etc).  So far My Notes Keeper would be the winner in this category but it’s still lacking image editing
- create sticky note using a global hotkey - each sticky note should have full rich text editing capabilities (including images) and should be displayed in its own minimalistic windows, similar to GloboNote and Notezilla (both lacking advanced table features and image editing).  Once a sticky note is closed, double-clicking on it in the main manager should bring it up again in its own minimalistic window with always-on-top, roll up and transparency options
- automatic capture of clipboard content including text, images, web pages, etc. and saved in a specified folder inside of the manager’s database.  Clipboard Help & Spell does this very well but is lacking rich text editing.  Also, global key to paste text as plain.
- Portability would be a plus
- Alarms and flags (similar to GloboNote)
- rearranging of notes by drag and drop (custom), date, alphabetical, etc (similar to TreeProjects)
- would be ideal to have each note saved in it’s own encrypted file for easy synchronizing using services such as google drive or dropbox. Having to synchronize one huge database file every time there is a small change would be a mess.
- database encryption like in TreeProjects

I know this is asking for much but it never hurts to have dreams :-)
Looking forward to all recommendations.

Cheers!
