A useful property of 2-pane PIMs
2/18/2008
I agree with your conclusion. It is the same reason that I was not attracted to Zoot until I had to many journal articles to organise on a tree.
May I ask which specific 2-pane PIM you were working o...

For the programmers among us (I imagine Dominik for one already knows it) I just saw that Xmind is an Eclipse application: http://www.eclipse.org/community/rcpcp.php

I think the meaning of 'task' in Tasktop's context...
Update: my first impression of Tasktop is quite positive albeit not enthusiastic as yet. I don't find the 'task-focused' approach itself as novel as it is presented. The whole idea of 'hoisting' an ou...
Dominik,

I can't say that I tried all of the tools listed, but after trialing Archivarius I went ahead and registered it. It's very fast and works very well with Greek (as long as a multitude of other language...

I commented on this feature here http://www.outlinersoftware.com/messages/viewm/3290 regretting the fact that each mind map program seems to offer an extra way of looking at your data, but none offers...

True on both counts. Freemind is strictly a mindmap implementation program, and mindmaps only have one parent per child. To complement for this, they have associations among items in different areas o...

The ability to switch from mind map to table form, based on some attribute, is very useful. Indeed, if there's one thing I would look for in 'visual info mapping' software, it would be the ability to ...
