mac/ipad outliner links
3/30/2012
As a kind of hybrid user - i.e. one who has quite deliberately decided not to go the whole Mac hog, but does use Apple devices - I have discovered some interesting ways of exchanging outlines and othe...
ConnectedText vs. Scrivener
3/7/2012
Yup, that's the one - Growly Notes! True, fewer bells and whistles, but very nice effort (and free!).
Actually, OneNote allows you to "Save as" a Word file (as well as a few other formats) - you can ...
ConnectedText vs. Scrivener
3/7/2012
Suddenly realised you may be working on a Mac - but in that case there's a wonderful free, OneNote-like tool available the name of which I've unfortunately forgotten! It's been mentioned in the forum ...
ConnectedText vs. Scrivener
3/7/2012
Hi Steve, sorry, spending most of my time "lurking" on this forum (too much to do, too little time to do it), but saw your post and thought I'd share experiences. I'm working on precisely the same sce...
single-pane outliner with fields/columns
1/22/2012
... and of course Sam's just posted up the latest version of Noteliner (3.4), which can now import tables (in CSV or HTML format); he's also added a number of other new features which I'm still invest...
NoteTab for note-taking
1/15/2012
An excellent editor/outliner for exchanging data between iPad and computer is WriteUp. The developer is very responsive, it's got some very impressive features (notably a powerful search function and ...
NoteTab for note-taking
1/15/2012
Sorry, very heads-down at the moment, hence zero contributions! Notebooks is indeed extremely powerful and increasingly stable - I've taken to storing all sorts of stuff in it.
Just spotted Dr. Andus...
Triumphant return of Smereka TreeProjects
12/15/2011
Ah, yes, that would explain it - I haven't had a good temp file clean-out for a little while (my favourite: CCleaner - any other thoughts on this?). But some way of making that a separate process woul...
Triumphant return of Smereka TreeProjects
12/15/2011
Actually, on the issue of PDF preview, I did have a slightly odd experience there. I upgraded to the latest version of TreeProjects, but it didn't seem to connect up with Adobe Reader. So I exited, th...
Triumphant return of Smereka TreeProjects
12/14/2011
Well! I love it! TreeProjects is back with a bang! I've been drafting a brochure using Scrivener for Windows and TreeProjects side by side, because in a number of significant respects they're actually...
Substitute for Omnioutliner
12/1/2011
Actually, TreeLine is enormously powerful, and can be used to produce all sorts of amazing things, but it takes quite a while to decide how best to set it up (and a degree of familiarity with HTML cod...
Oh, and check out Tree (http://www.topoftree.jp/en/tree/), reviewed by Stephen fairly recently (http://mac.appstorm.net/quick-look/productivity-quick-look/tree-a-new-dimension-in-outlining/#more-24115...
Hm - interesting point: the two-pane outliner you're describing is very, very common in the Windows world, but actually much less common in the Mac world.
Or are they? You might want to take a peek a...
Outstanding! I'm very impressed.
Good move on the separation (although now we need some way to cross-refer topics in this forum and the new one - there's a little programming challenge!).

myBase Desktop v6 released
11/16/2011
Have to say, I'm really rather impressed by a first "sniff" at Biblioscape, although it does appear to be a vastly complex piece of software (the kind of thing I tend to avoid, on the whole). But the ...
Specific: actually, LibreOffice does have an outliner tool, just like Microsoft Word - it's called the Navigator, and depends on similar style-based conventions to Word (i.e. use of headings, subheads...
Actually, sounds like you might enjoy Red Notebook (which has progressed vastly since I last took a look at it, about 18 months ago). You'll find it on http://rednotebook.sourceforge.net/

Team solutions #1: Text development
11/10/2011
The basic version of Plone handles everything as HTML, but you can add all sorts of plug-ins, including a powerful PDF export option.
You can also add the source files in their original formats as at...
CintaNotes out of beta
11/10/2011
Yes, actually, the latest versions of TomBoy are really quite cool, although for some reason I don't really "like" TomBoy. Something about the rather crude look-n-feel annoys me. But it's a very power...
As so often, it really depends on what you want to do with the documents you're managing. Do you want to be able to export them in their original form? Search through them "seamlessly"? Incorporate th...
Team solutions #1: Text development

Sorry, Alexander, just recently read through this thread. We're currently testing Plone in-house for precisely this kind of collaboration (it's also a great outliner platform, in fact, provided you're...
CintaNotes out of beta
11/9/2011
My fave notes organiser on Linux has always been BasketNotes, the closest thing to OneNote on a Linux platform (but with the advantage that it has its own rather powerful search/filtering system built...
Hi Alexander - aha, I've found that the guys/gals at Soonr are more than happy to discuss pricing, and have considerable latitude in that regard. You could do worse than talk to the salesperson I've b...
Apart from Agent Ransack, another really very good - and free! - search tool you could look at is DocFetcher (a sourceforge project). This handles European and other characters very well in its previe...
Thoughts about forum protocol
11/3/2011
... also, I am genuinely upset by the thought that there are interesting, thoughtful people out there who have left this forum following some argument or disagreement. Let's all stay the course, boyz ...
