Confirming Save and Backup Functions

As I've continued working with MI, I just wanted to confirm how the various save and backup functions work. Are the following assumptions correct? SAVE FUNCTION -- Save = Saves the current note/task (only) -- Save All = Saves all the notes/tasks within a single topic (only) -- There is no way to sav...

Re: CSV Import: Help Request

Thanks again, Petko, for your prompt feedback! :-) I will be heading out-of-town soon for a client engagement, so I won't have a chance to test the import function again until later this week, but if I have any questions when I do, I'll be sure to let you know. In the meantime, I do have a few other...

CSV Import: Help Request

I am attempting to import a .csv file without any success. Each time I select the file to be imported, the CSV Import dialogue box pop-ups, as it should. However, when I click "ok", I receive the following error message: -- " You need to select at least the input field for the Documen...

Re: Recurring tasks

Thanks, mfelix. I'm actually using this approach now, as a work-around, and it certainly is do-able. However, the drawback is this strategy depends entirely upon the reliability of my memory -- and I would much rather trust MI with this task! ;-) As my 9th grade biology teacher once said, "A du...

Re: Special Characters Prohibited?

Great! Thanks again for your prompt response and support.

Also, for what it may be worth, I have already been able to search successfully on other hyphenated words.

"To-do" was the only one that created problems for me. :)

Update on Recurring Tasks?

It has been several years since this request was originally posted and I'm curious: has any more thought been given to the possibility of providing recurring event functionality? This is something I use quite heavily in my current information manager, and it would be great to have this functionality...

Where do things stand in terms of integrating MI with Outlook? I found several requests in the forum for integrating Outlook email messages, contacts and tasks: -- Contacts: http://forums.milenix.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1815&p=2257&hilit=outlook#p2257 -- Tasks: http://forums.milenix.com/...

Re: Special Characters Prohibited?

Great! I'm glad this is likely not to be an issue. However, I did run into one minor issue last night, which prompted this question: In the process of testing the tag feature, I used "to-do" as a tag (note the hyphen). This tag worked fine in the tag cloud, but when I put "to-do"...

Re: Backup Help Request

[LATER UPDATE] I just now tried saving each of the 7 topics individually, and this DID successfully create back-up copies of everything. Is this how the back-up process is supposed to work? I thought the "Save All" command would do the trick...but apparently it didn't.... With my thanks fo...

Re: Backup Help Request

[UPDATE] The MI Help File says: " Only the topics stored in the default topics folder are backed up in the common backup folder. Topics, which are stored in other locations, have their backup copies in the same folder as the original file, which makes the folder cluttered with files. " FYI...

Backup Help Request

I have changed the backup location of MI to a designated backup folder in Dropbox since I eventually intend to use MI on 2 computers. I have also set my MI saving options to: -- Always create a back-up copy -- Always save every 5 minutes -- Automatic save on exit In addition, I routinely select &quo...

Master List of Tags?

Is there currently any place where users can view a master list of ALL the tags used within the MI application? With a quick review of the forum earlier this evening, I found one post that indicated a centralized index was not available as of January 2011: http://forums.milenix.com/viewtopic.php?f=1...
