Moritz: you've got me hooked; 'free' is not important for me but it sure is for people like some of my co-workers that have not tried such software and are used to getting functionalities free on the ...

For your information:
(a) I resorted to manually break down the file; it took less than two hours, and my learning any new program would have probably taken me longer, for a task I am unlikely to do...
Steve: thanks; you've saved me a lot of effort by trying out Zoot before I did
Quant: thanks; the macro is very interesting though I cannot fathom how it calculates the size of the excerpts which app...
Steve, thanks; I very much appreciate the quick reply.
Interestingly I considered Zoot which I own, but immediately rejected it because I need the formatting (which includes tables, images and the li...
The concept of what I am need to do seems simple enough, yet for the life of me I am unable to think of a tool to do it. I am surprised myself that I haven't needed to do something like this before.

Personal task manager with graphic feedback
11/21/2009
Thanks for the heads up on DAISHO. It looks interesting indeed. I note that it is German software, as is quite often the case, for innovative management-related software. It is probably unlikely to br...
Re Personal Brain: I would simply introduce password protection at the file system level. There's many utilities that do this. I personally use NomaDesk which syncs across my computers, providing me a...

Actually, there's quite a few outliners that use HTML for storing formatted text and images. It's just that they don't advertise the feature IMO. The question is, how easy do they make to edit the act...
Any Thoughts on GeneralKB?
11/11/2009
This is not new software, though it has changed its name; it was previously called General Knowledge Base and, as such, it has been discussed here in the past. See for example http://www.outlinersoftw...
Evernotee: Whats Up?
11/11/2009
For whomever is interested in checking out an alternative, eNoteFile is an uncannily similar product, but with some interesting differentiations, e.g. one can use the freeware version and do local bac...
Graham, what you are looking for is indeed something that I would like as well However, I am not sure how such a concept would operate, as you note that you want to know how much time tasks take "with...
InfoQube as a 1-pane outliner
11/3/2009
This is probably a stupid question (and definitely doesn't reduce the value of a very impressive product) but, with all these improvements, why is the version stuck in number 0.9.24 with only the last...

New Outliner for Windows
10/29/2009
Fedir, I think you're off to an excellent start!
I appreciate the simplicity and the .NET infrastructure doesn't show at all in terms of the program's response. I like the ability to switch off the ...
Google Wave as a PIM?
10/29/2009
Leslie and others, you can contact me via Wave (my username there is sympraxisa at googlewave dot com) so that I can add you to the outliner discussion there.
Looking for information management solution
10/28/2009
I think you made the right choice with UltraRecall for what you want. As a bonus, if the files you imported are readable by UR (DOC, XLS, PPT, PDF etc) they will have now been indexed, allowing you to...

Google Wave as a PIM?

Many thanks to Pierre-Paul for the invite. The experience of Google Wave has been very interesting indeed. Here are my initial conclusions:
- As a communication tool, Google Wave is one century ahead...

Susan, thanks for the heads up on RedNotebook and Basket NotePad. I am new to Linux and still on the look out for information management software. These do look interesting.
Evernotee: Whats Up?
10/26/2009
I've been known to back the wrong software horse a few times (anybody remember Hyperclip? I chose it over UltraRecall in 2003, and about a year later it was gone) so don't rely too much on what I'm sa...
