Tagging advice for DEVONThink
12/21/2017
I guess I should take my own advice and read the thoughtful manual.
If you keep the 'get info' window open, it tracks the current selection. The tags listed have drop-down arrows, so you can reveal a...

Thanks, Paul, good points. I had found you could create documents inside tag folders, which the documentation says are just folders - but I hear you about the issues creating documents in them. I trie...

I've been thinking about how to get more out of DEVONThink, particularly in the way that TheBrain organizes stuff.
In TheBrain, there is a hierarchical order. Parent thoughts have child thoughts, and...

Speare word processor

It's an interesting catchphrase for software to make writing fun. Fun with writing starts with a Big Chief tablet and a pencil. I obsess over writing tools, but that's the baseline requirement for get...
Speare word processor

Probably not for me, but interesting. It looks a little like Ulysses and seems to work a little like Writers Blocks - https://speare.com
One more subscription application. I'm not a fan of that marke...
Forum information

I had two posts that doubled, but I think the problem was external to this site. Note well, lest I forfeit status as a (l)user, I must deny any culpability.
In defense, I've found my trackpad changes...

The problem with add-ons is they can break with Word updates. I used Pages for correspondence. Then came an update that broke the mail merge script I was using.
I don’t remember why I got Nisu...

Sorry about the duplicate. No idea how I managed to do that. My error, I'm sure.

MindNode mind mapper reaches version 5

Mind Node has been useful for me with one limiting factor. As nicely as the program works, it bugs me a little to have to have a central thought. Too many times thoughts best swarm as peers rather tha...

In my experience, Word's master document feature has always had fatal problems. In a few drag-and-drops, across several versions of Word, I've always been able to get subdocuments entangled without a ...

I think I really love to write badly. I love to write. I write badly. Ergo, I must love to craft the unreadable. It's a calling few answer. It sets me among rare company.

is Scapple the best for "thinking on paper"
11/24/2017
Scapple is very nice for the reason it's simplistic. A conventional mind map will have a central node that may be of no use beyond tying like nodes together.
But, like most mind map utilities, put 3,...

I bought a new license for Scrivener 3 the moment it was available. I found a couple of glitches that were fixed that day.
My purchased download was maybe an hour into Version 3's life, and was 3.0(5...
What is the oldest application you use?

Viva les antiquités - just because something is old doesn't mean it's outdated.
Like emacs, gateway to everything, and it will even edit text files, too.

TheBrain 9 reaches its beta phase

Greetings - first post, I think. I don't think I've ever signed up before. I've lurked quite a bit.
I've found TheBrain, sadly, to be unreliable in past incarnations. I think I got in at version 5 or...
