I’m a long-time user of TreeDBnotes. I originaly purchased it because I needed an outlining app that would run on Linux in WINE. TreeDBnotes was one of the few apps that ran properly.
Owing to bugs and problems, I was about to abandon TreeDBnote for MyBase. But recent updates to TreeDBnotes has left me quite impressed.

Now, with regard to MyBase 6. After reading many reviews, it seemed the best choice would be Ultra Recall, or MyBase 6. I was attracted to MyBase because of reviews, and because the interface is more similar to TreeDBnotes than UltraRecall.

But after using MyBase 6 for a few days, I’ve found the interface to be quite awkward. I cannot figure out if there is a way to move around multiple nodes, or subtrees. Unlike other note-apps like TreeDB, I cannot use CTRLfor a selection of items, or SHIFT and CTRL for a range of items) or use cut/copy and paste in the conventional fashion.
WJJsoft’s advice was to press ESC to bring up “Query Results” and then drag and drop (or copy -paste) into here. But this is also a very awkward way of doing things. There is no easy way to select multiple nodes and drag them into Query Results.

The user should be able to select multiple nodes, or trees or subtrees, (by holding down CTRL for a selection of items, or SHIFT and CTRL for a range of items) and perform functions directly (copy, paste, delete) in the conventional way used by other applications.

Am I missing something,or is this simple feature really missing in MyBase?
