I have not been able to replicate this problem. I did a 'global search' but was unable to locate it. But when I went to look for the file, it was gone.

To work more conveniently, I opened the TreeDB node in an external viewer (a cool feature but now I'm very skeptical about its reliability), resized the window to take up half my monitor, and read a PDF file in the other half.Īt some point, I clicked "save the file to database", and must have closed the window. I wrote a long note about a complex book I was reading. Yesterday I had an infurating experience. I searched "Global Search" on the forum to see if there was something I was missing about the feature and came across this fairly recent thread (Nov, 2011) I didn't intend to carry on our little diversion in this Rightnote thread, but I chanced across something in the TreeDB forum that was a bit too pertinent to pass up. If you get too simple with a program you risk a kind of "data lock in" that the minute you want an advanced feature you didn't think of 3 months ago, you're hosed. My overall message is if you have 3 programs fighting each other for your next use, what is the 1-2 drop dead must-have features that simply shut everything else out of the picture? For me it was that web ebook creator, and some of the importing, and lesser, some of the node handling. TreeDB has a few good ones that include keyboard shortcuts to move nodes around, etc. But overall it's also important that there is a "completeness" of features. Softwares go through "cultures" so their feature set must have been what their specific users and/or developers wanted most. (Though I can certainly see how an integrated table would be nice!) In a way you have two different comments going on - "distrusting bundling everything" yet you chanced on something they chose not to get into. I don't think I see a spreadsheet "module" but then, I tend to think of spreadsheets as something for Excel and LibreOffice to deal with, not a note app. If you can indeed bundle "everything" and hit the slam dunk/home run, then you become the market leader or at least a top-5. Still, it's the best alternative to Winorganizer I've come across (and I've tried quite a few apps), so thanks for mentioning it." They already have a LOT going on and the interface could be more intuitive. "I tend to be wary about programs that like to bundle everything and the kitchen sink and I can see this happening with TreeDBNotes Pro. "Ho hum, we can't be bothered to maintain this, let's just abandon it." (4 years later) "Oh look! Someone forked it and is updating it! Sue them! We're losing valuable IP!" I didn't expect this thread, so I can't recall if I looked at Evernote.) I'd bet a jellybean that Evernote doesn't export as cleanly into web ebook. Maybe if I have time I'll look at these other programs. (It auto appended some numbers like 367 to avoid file clashes, but that's no big deal". TreeDBNotes was the winner because the output file is user-interactive, and the file names were recognizeable.


Only two apps could do that export, and one lost out because it both had sloppy formatting and it also obfuscated my file names inside the web page so that it felt like it was "locking in" my data. Import: Import a ton of existing text documents and automatically load them into nodes.Įxport: Roll up and export the whole note tree into a web page.

The big gun feature for me is import and export capability. I did a medium study of all these tree databases a couple months ago.
