Tagging files
5/6/2014
File Meta is one to look at. What interests me about it - file tags are stored in the alternate data streams of the tagged files, so they travel with the files (so long as they stay on an NTFS filesy...
The mobile website m.checkvist.com also works well in Chrome running on Android on my Samsung Galaxy Note II. Muy bueno.
I just copied an Ecco outline using Ctrl+C on a headline. Then I used the Checkvist Import command, and did a Ctrl-V to paste the imported outline into the box displayed by Checkvist. I then clicked...
Thanks Alexander, I had forgotten about Checkvist even though I had used it before and liked it very much. I think it might be a bit more intuitive than Workflowy for sharing outlines with people.
I...
Hi folks.
I was trying to walk my bro through a rather detailed procedure. I had my notes in outline form (in infoqube). I thought the instructions might be more intelligible to my brother if he we...

Wayne,
That is a really neat capability of Ecco to be able to paste an image from clipboard directly into a Ecco item. I've rarely used it but I can see how useful it can be. I wonder how it is sto...

I could be wrong, but I don't see a way to justify text in a column either. There are lots of ways you can format column text, but that doesn't seem to be one of them. If an Item has attached HTML, ...

It's not hard to use IQ pretty much like you use Ecco. A lot of the terminology is different though. I even like to put the IQ "properties" pane on the left side of the IQ window, where it provides ...

TP is being offered for $20, normally $50, any takers here? It certainly has some appealing features:

I never realized it wasn't possible to apply a "highlight" format to selected text in Ecco.

Yet another Ecco question

oh, and by the way, after you put the ecco extension files in the ecco program folder - don't start ecco using the original "ecco32.exe" command - start ecco by running "eccoext.exe" - that's the way ...

Ken, the zip file I linked you to contains the files of the last release of the Ecco program from Netmanage. It is better simply to download this zip file, unzip it into a folder, and run it, as oppo...

Hi Ken,
The download link I gave you is from the eccomagic site - I think that is run by the guy who goes by the name "yoursowelcomethanks" in the "ecco_pro" group. I don't know why he makes that li...

i should be clear - no need to run ecco in "xp mode". just unzip and run under Win 8.
while you're at it, you might give infoqube a try:

Running Ecco right now under Windows 8.1 64-bit, no problems at all.
Just download this file, unzip into any folder and run.

Have you tried Infoqube lately?
Pierre is putting out new versions frequently.

sorry, i should have clarified the name is "hddb" - the phrase "ultrafast" is my description.
You are right, it doesn't support implicit ANDing of search phrases, e.g. "abc def ghi" should retrieve f...
Elyse - file tagger with tag inheritance
4/16/2014
I spent awhile last night looking at Elyse (no, not some beautiful woman, but a computer program). It is a tag-based file manager, with tag inheritance. For example, when you tag a file with "gazell...
Just curious, has anyone seen something like a single-pane outliner, where the individual items are each stored in a separate (text) file? Or where an individual item can optionally be stored in a se...
I use Voidtools Everything constantly, have for years. It allows me to find files almost instantaneously. Today I read about another utility that is modeled on Everything but claims to improve on it...

Wow ... that's quite a transformation. I wonder what web app out there would be most similar to "Clibu" (???) as described by Neville. My first thought is that it sounds a lot like Evernote.
