Writing Outliner turns into WordOutliner (beta) 12/18/2017

Yes, to give the developer, Edwin, his due, he listened very carefully to the feedback about WordOutliner and to how the users are using WritingOutliner, and made sure he took it all on board for his ...

Scrivener 3 is on the way… 12/4/2017

Word 365 (2016) 64-bit. Mind you, I wrote the 500 page first version in whatever Word version was around in 1997, and that handled it fine too. xtabber wrote: >What version of Word are you using? ...

Scrivener 3 is on the way… 12/1/2017

Indeed, and since you suggested it I have been looking into it. There are lots of reports online from users about instability and crashes when the master file gets too large, even in Word 2016, and i...

Scrivener 3 is on the way… 12/1/2017

Thanks Frank and Chris. I wasn't aware of the sub-documents feature of Word, but I don't think that works the same way as Writing Outliner. I don't want to bring any documents together (in outline vi...

Scrivener 3 is on the way… 12/1/2017

Is anybody familiar both with Scrivener (Windows version) and Writing Outliner (a Word plugin)? If so, does anybody know how well Scrivener might replace Writing Outliner? Writing Outliner, as a W...

So, is ConnectedText really dead now? 11/29/2017

In this case I have to respectfully disagree. Obviously if a website goes down for one day and we all start spreading rumours about a software's demise, that's not fair. But in the case of CT there ha...

Tell us about your book 11/28/2017

At the last count I'd written five books. The first three (in the nineties/early noughties) were "officially" published. I wrote them all in MS Word and didn't use any outlining or organising softwar...

Any Windows users here ? 9/1/2017

Yes, I have also taken a back seat in this forum recently because it seems to have become an Apple dominated space .... I would never, and could never, move to an Apple computer. Apart from disliking ...

ConnectedText - moribund? 4/11/2017

Hmmm. I know there's a lot of love for Eduardo in this forum, and I'm sure anything I write is going to get slammed, even though, as a sole trader, I understand perfectly the situation he is in. But...

ConnectedText - moribund? 2/24/2017

Hmmm. I don't see that responding to bug reports has anything to do with development speed. If he can't even find time to respond to anything, looks like a problem to me. Stephen Zeoli wrote: I che...

ConnectedText - moribund? 2/24/2017

Are there any knowledgeable folks here who know what the current situation at/with ConnectedText is? I sent some bug reports in mid December and didn't get any response. I tried the forum in January ...

Evernote Privacy Policy Changes 12/21/2016

Just for the record, Clibu has an offline version (Clibu op) which I've been using for a while. Not yet bug-free, but Neville is, as ever, very responsive to bug reports and feature requests. dan700...

TheBrain 9 reaches its beta phase 11/17/2016

Well, I managed to work around the login screen, but Jeez, folks, that software is buggy! I found three bugs in the notes area within about a minute (which resulted in data loss) and one crash after ...

TheBrain 9 reaches its beta phase 11/17/2016

What what what? No use without providing The Brain's developers with lots of personal details through a required login? That's me gone. How I yearn for the days when "cloud" meant a big fluffy t...

PDF cataloging 8/19/2016

Thanks Dr Andus. It looks like Mendeley and Zotero just allow search across documents, which is not ideal as explained previously. Docear looks interesting - that's much more what I'm thinking of ....

PDF cataloging 8/18/2016

Thanks Madaboutdana. What I don't see Reader helping with (I haven't looked at Qiqqa yet) is the metadata issue. If I have a dozen pdfs each with 1000 pages, results of searches for almost anything...

That link doesn't take me to a topic thread, but I'll check qiqqa out - thanks.

PDF cataloging 8/18/2016
