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!).

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

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...

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 ...
Thoughts about forum protocol
11/3/2011
ON FORUM PROTOCOL (yes, I know, embarrassing, and probably not my place, but...):
Quite a lot of the people involved in this forum are obviously powerful characters, with strong Views on what is/isn'...
Hi Fredy,
Sorry, just caught sight of your post about UTF-8: interesting point. And in fact, to an extent, you're right - Agent Ransack doesn't "see" European characters correctly in e.g. RTF files (...
Have to agree that Agent Ransack / FileLocator Lite is very capable - the Pro version is also very capable, incidentally. But even the Lite version can search through MS Office files, and supports UTF...
With all due respect, Fredy, there are literally dozens of more or less competent multiple application launchers out there - a quick Google is all it takes. Not so many of them associated with compete...
For those who like spreadsheets/spreadsheet-like organisational methods, it's worth taking a look at Simple Groupware (which has a built-in Simple Spreadsheet) or at the latest beta of Feng Office.
I...
Great list, Alexander - thanks! I'll look into some of those. Something we're experimenting with currently - with pretty good results - is a service called soonr.com, which synchronises files across m...
You might also want to take a good, hard look at TiddlyWiki. I haven't played with tiddlywiki for a long time, but it's still evolving, and it's easier than ever to set up a hosted tiddlywiki service ...
Moving a little way away from notetakers and/or outliners, you might also want to look at Soonr (www.soonr.com), which offers a file synchronisation service with extra features - notably full-text sea...
Rats! No, not absolutely perfect after all - unfortunately it trashes the folder structure (or rather, it extracts all subfolder content and copies it to the top level/root folder. Shame. I use folder...
