Ultra Recall is DEAD!
11/3/2008
Charles, many thanks.
Either the goddess of programming heard my prayers or this is a case of 'correcting' historical documents, 1984-style.
I know what I read (as I am sure the rest of UR users he...
search for single repository
11/1/2008
I would agree with Steve Z. that a single repository for everything is for now unrealistic --and, as far as my own needs are concerned, probably for the future as well.
For example, I have a large qu...

If you do want them, you can get the pre-release version (2) which supports them, and has no stability problems as far as I know:

Ultra Recall is DEAD!

Re UltraRecall: I've been a loyal UR user since version 1, hesitantly switching to it from the now defunct HyperClip, whose developers simply vanished one day from the web after long term silence.

Hi Ken,
The webware that sprang to mind when reading your post was Microsoft Listas, mentioned here: http://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/viewt/823/0/microsofts-listas

The Ultimate (CRIMP) Steal

I don't know what this says about Microsoft's sales of Office 2007, but the company is extending a promotion of its Ultimate Edition, rightly called the Ultimate Steal. Students and staff of academic ...
PDF to Word Now on Giveaway of the Day
9/20/2008
I may be late to promote it, but this could well be one of the most useful tools I've downloaded from Giveawayoftheday, along with PPTminimizer. PDF to RTF seems to work fine, competently handling mos...
As far as I can see, believe it or not, it seems you can't --with a keyboard. You can of course drag-n'-drop a topic anywhere, thus changing its position in the hierarchy.
I don't think this is stran...
UltraExplorer is a keeper, though I have the impression that its code has not yet been optimised as I find it a bit 'reluctant' (I wouldn't really say slow) at times.

Charles, Robert,
many thanks for your suggestions! I'll download & test and write back :-)
Cheers

Bob,
I think today's Giveawayoftheday is just what you need:

I know; it's the main reason that I'm (again) testing Directory Opus. I have a specific file-management intensive project that would justify the significant expense.

If HTML help will do, I think that Lexican ( http://www.lexican.net ) recently mentioned here, should be able to do the job.
That said, I'm quite certain that a few others of the outliners we've disc...

Here's an interesting review of Chrome from Tasktop's developer, looking at the browser as a productivity tool: http://tasktop.com/blog/?p=39

Add StoryView ( http://www.screenplay.com/p-32-storyview.aspx ) to the list of fiction-oriented writing software. I find it quite overpriced ($180 for the download-only version) and the academic licen...
Newer version of MaxThink
8/30/2008
Actually, I've found the Windows version stable enough; as far as I remember it has never crashed on me (I'm using Windows XP) though I admit that I don't use it that much. For most of what it's good ...
Multi-Column Outliner?
8/29/2008
Following Pierre's clarifications, I'd also make a distinction between
(a) ouliners showing multiple columns in the outline and
(b) outliners whose records can have multiple attributes
In the case...

I thought I'd post an update on my experience with Tasktop as I've been using it for the last couple of months or so, since the Summer 2008 version (1.20) was released.

A (more widely implemented) alternative to OPML are tabbed plain text outlines. Many outliners support them as do most mind mapping applications I've tried.
As to OPML, I am surprised at how few apps...
