Re: faster method to tag documents/nodes

Keyword tagging in the photo-management programs, Lightroom 5 and IMatch 5, are extremely well-implemented. These programs allow the creation of hierarchical, nested keywords that are very easy to apply and add. The hierarchical keywords lists used in these programs can be exported and edited if nee...

Re: Cross-platform version?

The other day my Win 7 notebook was infected by a virus that ruined my OS. Normally I have a good backup system in place, but owing to a series of strange oversights, my current OS was unrecoverable. Reinstalling Win 7 and getting everything working again wasted a great deal of time indeed. I'm seri...

Compatibility with Linux, WINE and Crossover

Owing to frustration with viruses and hackers, I'm thinking of switching OS to Linux. I decided to test to see if MyInfo will run properly in WINE in Linux. I installed CrossOver Linux 12.5 and installed MyInfo. Running the MyInfo installer in Crossover worked perfectly and it appeared that the inst...

Re: Changing Color of Program Interface?

Yes, it would be nice if we could change the skin of the interface. But this is not a big concern to me-- the PIM I used previously for all my data was called "TreeDBNotes" and was an application that had a huge range of customization options that MyInfo just does not offer (even now, year...

Re: ability to open multiple documents, dock them side-by-si

Thanks Bill for your comments! Yes, I've opened several documents at the same time before, but not very often mainly because I forget to use this feature. And I think I forget to use it because its usefullness is limited by only being able to edit one pane, and by the fact I don't like fiddling arou...

Please add: right click "export doc as RTF; send as email"

The other day I recalled how my old note-application TreeDBnotes (seemingly defunct now) had the ability to right-click on a document in the tree, and then chose to save/export the document as an RTF, and email it too. Clicking on the "email" simply attached the document to blank email in ...

Re: Right click "select all" and "Paste as"

I still think the right-click "paste as" feature would be very useful. As of version 6.14, it still has not appeared.

[added] ability to open multiple documents, dock them side-by-side

Hi I was helping my friend use MyBase the other day, (we both have licenses, but I stopped using it in favor of MyInfo), and marvelled on MyBase's ability to open multiple documents, dock them side-by-side, and be able to edit each of them. She was doing a running translation of another document, an...

Re: New version?

With the new version, I do hope it will include - a greatly improved web-clipping tool - the ability to edit materials clipped from internet pages so we can remove ads, chop out useless info. UltraRecall has had this ability for quite some time. The Firefox plugin, Scrapbook also has this capability...

Re: zoom

For years I tried to get the developer of TreeDBnotes to implement a zoom feature. Apparently, the way that program was coded meant it was nearly impossible to implement. I think a zoom feature is very useful for many users- especially for older people who sometimes cannot see tiny type so clearly. ...

Re: Variables in MI?

The ability to type [[ and have a list of topics appear is intriguing. But because the list is ordered in alpha order, it seems a bit awkward to use.

Could some other users chime in and discuss how they are using this tool?

Re: Need text compare program suggestions

Thanks for posting this!
I used your instructions to create a "Modified in last 7 days" and "Created in last 7 days" filter.
This is very useful indeed!

[added] faster method to tag documents/nodes

Hi, My database has become large and I've recently found it useful to tag documents with keywords as soon as I create them. This allows me to be able to find things. The tagging system is much better than a year ago, but it still needs improvement. If I want to tag a number of documents with the sam...
