Why no love for MyBase? My early review:

Very first sentence of this thread: “I’ve been evaluating the robust Windows knowledge bases (MyInfo, UltraRecall, IQ, MyBase) and MyBase is the one I keep paying more attention to.” - then: “Paul J. Miller’s main complaint…links…”

Well, Mr. Miller has done some very valuable work re “outliners”, shown on his blog; among other things, he tested them with “heavy load”, and he said, re MyBase, that even with some 10,000 items or less, I don’t remember very well, response times went sharply down (if I remember well, again), and so I would certainly not list MyBase among “the robust Windows knowledge bases”.

As an aside, he discovered how to bold tree entries in UR, hence my question if that could be realized as some 1-key macro (and as toggle, ie with de-bolding the entry if it’s already bolded, too); I never grasped UR’s “user attributes” to begin with, so I unfortunately do not know where to begin with such a macro, but it undeniably would be a big enhancement to UR while almost certainly making any ephemeric interest in MyBase obsolete.

Since at the end of the day, 10,000 items is nothing, once you’ve got a conclusive way to get info into your bucket software, it’ll be all about its organization then, and as said, I’ve had only minor complaints with almost 1 million of entries within UR.

(So the remaining posts/pages of this thread weren’t of any further interest to me: be more concise, dear fellow software judges: Once you encounter some eliminator, don’t pursue further, spare your time.)
