Reviews of OneNote vs. other outliners
7/26/2012
Thanks for all the added commentary. I am learning something about XML, which I always assumed was more universal and open format... i.e. like any program can read a plain text document. I thought any...
Reviews of OneNote vs. other outliners
7/24/2012
I have just posted the latest addition to the series of reviews attempting to uncover the "best" outlining application for Windows:

Reviews of OneNote vs. other outliners
7/21/2012
Cassius and Alexander,
I hadn't originally thought of rating these applications on their import ability because I view them as places to create information, not suck it in from elsewhere. However, I ...
Reviews of OneNote vs. other outliners
7/20/2012
I like OneNote in general (with the exception of a few frustrating aspects). But I'm not high on it as an outliner.
When I finish this iteration of reviews, I may, should I still have steam in the bo...

I can see adding WhizFolders to the lineup. It hadn't occurred to me at the time. The reason WF might qualify when UltraRecall wouldn't is that it seems to me that WF is built for writing -- as Scrive...

Thanks for the plug.
I include Scrivener in this show down because I want to test how good an outliner it really is. I am trying to include outliners that use a variety of approaches... and frankly ...
The lightweight writing app Page Four is on Bits du Jour today for about $12. The developer had, at one point, mentioned that a new version was in the works, but that was some time ago. I don't know w...

How Does UltraRecall Compare To OneNote?
7/11/2012
Personally I like OneNote much better than UltraRecall, but the two applications are very different. UR is more like a standard two-pane (although it can grow to more panes than that) hierarchical inf...
Earlier I reported that I had used the web page export of RightNote and that it had imported pages just fine. Today I imported a page that didn't come through as I'd hoped. All the information was the...
I went to the web site this morning and had no issues. Looks like Rael did indeed correct the problem. Back to our regularly scheduled programming...

Rael responded quickly to my inquiry, but he didn't have anything that I found reassuring relative to the security risk. He said someone else had reported this the other day and that he'd tried it acc...
In fairness to Rael, it does say in the help file that the Evernote syncing feature should be treated as a beta -- although he perhaps could make that clearer upfront. But to make matters worse, I jus...
A quick response from Rael Bauer, the developer of RightNote, to my inquiry about this. Yes. There is a bug in the latest release. You have an option to set a RightNote password to protect your Everno...
Have you or anyone else on this forum been able to get the Evernote sync to work yet? I've tried, setting up as described in the help file, but it won't work as I keep getting a message saying I need ...
New User - Old Questions

I've been using RightNote for a few days. What I like about it is its overall functional feel. That is, it just feels natural and easy to use. It is far from the most powerful PIM on the market -- I'm...

Curious, I am now trying out RightNote. The professional version ($60) does include a web capture tool, which on my limited testing works very effectively.

Welcome, Donovan. Thanks for joining our conversation.
myBase has been around for quite a while, at least 10 years and has been developed continually in that time. I was an early user, but switched t...

Remember InfoRecall?
7/3/2012
InfoRecall is a pretty standard two-pane PIM that packed a lot of features. I think the price used to be $99. The problem was it was always very buggy. Anyway, I was just going through some old bookma...

Apple as Big Brother

I have a license for a nice little Mac-based information manager called Yojimbo. I just received a note from the developer (Bare Bones) relating to changes forced on the application by Apple policies....
