Thank you to washere and LB.
The Elephant in the Room I referred to is that for years people have complained about the lack of STANDARD tree/outliner file IMPORT AND EXPORT formats. They all claim to import many formats BUT fail to export to ‘some standard’ and refuse to improve over the years. It’s Black Hole thinking that says ‘import everything and don’t let it back out’.

Yes, I saw that NoteCase Pro doesn’t promote Exporting to Treepad (.hjt) format, but it appeared from the trial version that maybe one of the export formats would be a clean bridge to other apps. NoteCase Pro has some other advantages over TreePad Plus that I hoped would win out in my outline/note consolidation process. However, the Export of NoteCase Pro to HTML, MD, and OPML both version 1.1 and 2.0 to Android Halna (which I really like on Android but no Windows equivalent) introduces unrecognized characters when Exporting Halna back to Treepad format to then be sent back to Windows to import into Essential PIM (which I don’t love either due to bugs). But, I hate Microsoft and Google worse. A tedious process when done frequently. It’s looks like I will be going back to TreePad Plus in spite of missing lower priority features (I’m also exploring going back to KeyNote NF because it has the needed features, although it’s going obsolete).

I’m retired now, but I used to test major software projects and wrote code to automate a wide scope of the process (i.e., White/Black Box, GUI, load testing, user acceptance tests). So… I tend to hold critical views about software not responding to long standing customer’s needs. Back when working my go-to Information Mgmt. tools were TreeDBNotes and InfoCube to keep track of rapidly changing details and status on many sub projects merging into larger projects. Now those have gotten better but much harder to justify the expense for my retirement needs (like consolidating and updating many other notes/outlines into one tool/format) and then importing the most current/prioritized stuff into a calendar type app with reminders/sub tasks/note details, etc., that is also not part of NoteCase Pro.

So, in my awkward way, I was asking NoteCase Pro to add functionality to ALSO Export to the defacto TreePad file format that can be easily be imported into calendar apps like Essential PIM.

Thanks again for your responses.
