Celtx -- Anyone aware of this program?
10/13/2012
I've been putting Outline 4D through its paces (they only give you 5 days to trial it). In many ways I'm really impressed with it. The ability to add inline text in the outliner alone makes it stand o...
Celtx -- Anyone aware of this program?
10/13/2012
I've watched the Outline 4D tutorial videos and installed the software (only could run it in XP mode), and my initial impression is quite good. It does feel a bit like a combination of Inspiration (th...

I have also checked out Celtx (free Windows desktop v. 2.9.7). They are rather sneaky. On the website they tell you you can get all this software for free, just sign up. It's only once you signed up t...

Software Recommendation (Onenote vs. Others)
10/11/2012
Glad you found the thread useful. I would still think that some sort of a desktop wiki that also works on iPad might be a solution. You may want to dig around Manfred's blog (http://takingnotenow.blog...
SmartDraw 2013 adds cloud access
10/11/2012
It looks like the only major change between SmartDraw 2012 and 2013 is that the latter now has cloud sharing features. The business version upgrade is USD99, and the Enterprise version (which I have) ...

Software Recommendation (Onenote vs. Others)

If you don't have time to read the whole thread, here is the system I came up with as a result of that discussion (but it's mostly text based, as I don't need to capture images all that often):

There was a similar discussion here a while ago, though I can't remember if OneNote was specifically discussed:

Storybook Pro 4.0 is out

Has anyone here been using Storybook Pro 4 on a consistent basis for a prolonged time? I'm just wondering how stable it is with a large amount of text and variables. Has anyone lost work with it? Woul...
Thank you for all the suggestions. ECCO does sound intriguing, I'll check it out at one point. As I had to move quickly, I've decided to use Natara Bonsai in the end.
It turned out to be very easy to...

I've also tried Noteliner's table feature, but for some reason the table/matrix solution is not appealing to me, it's not helping with the mental part of analysis. Somehow moving things around in an o...

Any.do

Has anyone tried Any.do for task management? (It's not easy to search the forum for this term, as quotation marks are not allowed.)
It's available for both Android and iPhone (and Chrome), with web i...
