Scrivener 3 is on the way…
9/24/2017
Hugh, I think you have this all exactly right. As a Windows-only user, I remember waiting years for WinScriv, and I am extremely grateful for it! Almost none of the other wonderful-sounding Mac tools ...
Any Windows users here ?

I'm deeply gratified to provide something of value to this community, which has provided so much of value to me! (Which includes va...

Scrivener 3 in the pipeline

To be followed by a vastly updated Windows version 3 (skipping v 2!), I note. Yay!
Cheers,

Has anyone tried Liquid Text (http://liquidtext.net/)? I haven't tried either one, but I'd be interested to see a comparison.
Windows RT suggestions?

With the Android Dropbox app you can "star* files (and I think folders) to store them locally on the Android device. I don't know whether this is also true of the RT app--but worth looking into!

An excellent freeware alternative to Notezilla is Stickies: http://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/stickies/. It is remarkably full-featured and sophisticated for freeware.

And extended through today, in case you missed it and are interested.
Here's what Google Security returned when I attempted to go to the RightNote page: "Warning - visiting this web site may harm your computer!"
Google also offered this on its "Diagnostic Page" for the...
NVivo 10 launched

Incidentally, since this genre of software has come up, I note that the newest version of the one I use, Atlas.ti 7, has just come out, also: www.atlasti.com

Dr. Andus: DOpus has the flat view, but there is also a "Group By" setting. Right click in the lister, click on "Group By" and select "None." Also note the other grouping options, which you might find...
New UltraRecall version released
6/9/2012
Wow, calling this a major upgrade is really stretching it from this user's point of view. I guess Windows 8 compatibility is something, but the timing is odd, since Win 8 isn't even on sale yet, and I...
I was struck by Fredy's desire to have "group launch," which seems to me to mean launching a group of files of multiple types in their respective applications. Seeing how this would be useful, I tried...
Reflexive outlining with several outliners

Franz, if I understand you correctly, you are stating a principle that I have learned the hard way: there is a limit to how productive automation can be in *writing* projects. The CRIMPer in me has lo...
Re: XLNotes
I've been using an older version of this for a couple of years. Very handy! I wrote to the developer 6 months or so ago and received a reply. I've been checking the site semi-regularly si...
Greetings to all,
TextBeast looks quite slick. Can anyone tell me whether it is capable of capturing any metadata for a given clip? I.e., the URL of the source page for a clip or--my personal Holy Gr...

A search of the archive reveals that CRIMP was coined by Steve Z. in 2005: http://bit.ly/j0N7x1.

To quote Graham Rhind's canonical definition of 2008:
"CRIMP is an in-forum joke, and means ?compulsive-reactive information management purchasing?, and CRIMPERs are people who have this ?disease?. ...

I see BrainstormWFO has already accepted Steve's feedback, but maybe it will add motivation if I echo it from the position of precisely someone unfamiliar with the program who went to the website to c...

I agree, Alexander, with your identification of the most valuable new features in Evernote. Linking is great; what is more, these are "application links," which means you can past them into any applic...
