The folks at Zengobi have added a short tutorial (or what they are calling a tutorini) about a very powerful feature of Curio 5.0: The spread PDF feature. Take a look:

InfoLayout... anyone heard of it?
10/10/2008
I just noticed that next Friday, Bits du Jour will be featuring a hard drive catalogueing program called InfoLayout for $15. Does anyone here have any experience with this software... it sounds good f...
Together on the Mac
10/8/2008
Hugh,
In case you have not yet seen it, there was this update from Eric on the DT blog:
It's been a while since our last posting about the upcoming DEVONthink 2.0 release, so here's an update on our...

I should have been more specific... it is on sale TODAY only not next week as I mistakenly put in the title of this post.

Well, I suppose it is true that nonfiction is often -- though not always (think of the great true crime accounts) -- more linear than fiction, so might need less emphasis on structuring tools... so an...
Seeing Hugh's note about Writer's Cafe on the previous thread got me wondering why it is that there are more applications geared toward fiction writing than toward nonfiction. There are far more nonfi...

Newer version of MaxThink
8/31/2008
Neil Larson includes some interesting tutorials on how to outline properly with MaxThink. It is worth trialing the software just to read these tutorials.

In addition to SQLNotes, you can also check out MyInfo, which han...

Curio 5.0
8/17/2008
Back in April I bought a MacBook for my personal use. I had been a long time PC user, but some of the applications I had seen recently for Mac OS had made me envious -- particularly DevonThink and Scr...
Michali,
You are right. That does sound as if one can use it on two different OS's. I just might be able to rationalize buying it under those conditions!
Thank you.

Anyone out there use Notemind?
8/9/2008
Coincidentally I just downloaded and trialed Notemind a couple of days ago. The interface that allows you to view your material graphically is interesting. Other than that, however, it didn't seem to ...
Does anyone know if the license agreement for Personal Brain allows one to install both a Mac version and a Windows version? That is, I could see a real benefit for using Personal Brain if I could ins...
Your comment, Alexander, reminds me that Brainstorm exports its models (or parts of models) as tabbed plain text. And now Personal Brain can import or export tabbed plain text outlines. Which means th...

Thanks, Hugh and David,
I've updated the list on Pierre's spreadsheet to include most of the suggestions.
Steve
Thanks for the reminder, Franz... Believe it or not, I use Yojimbo all the time, so it's a little frightening that I forgot to include it!
I've now added the Mac programs (including Yojimbo) to Pierr...
Prompted by David's observation that the previous list was limited to Windows applications, I've collected a list of the Mac OSX outliners and information managers that I've looked at. I make no claim...
Speak of the Devil: Update to MyInfo
7/25/2008
I was just writing about MyInfo, but I now see that version 4.1 is released. The biggest change -- and a very welcome improvement -- is that you can now import csv data into MyInfo (presumably into th...
