Typewriter scrolling for Windows 2/13/2012

Yes, you are right. It simulates typewriter scrolling, but it is not the same.

Q10 can also be set up for typewriter scrolling. Jon

WhizFolders vs Scrivener for Windows 12/19/2011

Just an update on my experience with Scrivener. 1. I have gotten the RTF parsing issue reported in Scrivener's forums. It prevents the opening of your project. After repeated tries, my project finall...

WhizFolders vs Scrivener for Windows 12/7/2011

Thank you all for your opinions. I have looked extensively at both programs and have been surprised at how similar they are. Almost every feature in one exists in the other. Even the vaunted Scriven ...

WhizFolders vs Scrivener for Windows 11/28/2011

Can someone please weigh in on these two choices? I know both programs well enough to be confused about which would be more suitable for non-fiction, academic writing projects. I use (and like) Ultra ...

filling data fields 9/13/2011

Pierre's approach in IQ is very flexible and eminently useful. You mentioned Ecco which has an analogous feature called forms. It too is very good, but unless you use Ecco Extension, the non-resizable...

Single-pane outliners 3/17/2011

Mention should be made of InfoQube. My reservation is that it is still in development, rough and inconsistent in some areas, can be quirky, and ungainly (filters and other features requiring knowledge...

Large databases in UltraRecall? 8/30/2010

I don't know if this helps, but I have no trouble with my almost 8GB database. It has 12,364 items, with a large percentage of these items PDF files. Most are stored in UR, but some are linked. All n...

Ariadne on the Move 3/23/2010

Hmm... Doesn't this look like a sensible, non-bloated Info Select? Yuriy too? I have not followed Ariadne. Has it always been so strikingly similar to IS? When did the project begin? My main concern...

UltraRecall v4 update worth it? 8/19/2009

You would be the best judge. Take a look at the enhancements and the new features (http://www.kinook.com/Forum/showthread.php?s=8fa012ed0c5e7784f1437f0759625aba&threadid=4090) so you can make an infor...

Summer 2009 PIM roll-call 8/5/2009

Jack: InfoQube is a wonderful effort, but as Pierre so honestly and objectively put it, some areas are works in progress. I have found the program to be sluggish at times and some of its quirks (like...

Ultra Recall v4 is released 8/4/2009

The promised date of the release was mid-August, so this is ahead of schedule. Pretty good. The release has some useful features but no calendar as was promised quite a while ago. I suspect this is mo...
