Roger Rabbit I agree with Peter R's question above - there should be an upgrade discount (Standard to Pro) for those of us who have already purchased, in recognition of the fact we were prepared to go ahead and buy whilst listing go BDJ was still being muted.

Rael Bauer Hi Ralph, You should see that RightNote is now listed as an upcoming deal, which means that it will be featured in a couple of days.

Hi Peter R, the discount will apply to all products, so - yes.

Harald Vogel Mr. Bauer, thank you for offering your great product here. I'm looking forward to buy it.

But I'm from Germany. Do you have any plans for localized versions? Also I haven't tried your support yet (good support is very important for me when buying software) but I have found a forum run by the developer can be a great help. Do you have any plans for that?

Reading the description above and checking the web site I haven't found anything regarding the license terms. Is it a per computer or per user? Can I load on both my laptop and home computer with the same license? Pro version in my case.

Thanks again.

Rael Bauer @ Hi Harald: Yes we do have plans for localized versions, just have not really gone ahead with it yet. I'm curious, if you speak English, why is a German version important to you?

re: forums. I guess this is something I debate about with myself. Overall it is a good idea. One of the cons is that often forums tend to get plagued by spam...

@ Hi JJ, Yes the discount will apply to upgrades as well. So it will be $29.95 minus 50%.

@ Hi Duane:
1. I assume you are referring to exporting. So far export is not in a folder structure, although it is something I would like to add soon.
2. I think for this question, the simplest is to take a look at what the program provides via the trial version. If you have any specific requests feel free to contact us.
3. I'm not sure what you are referring to: (a) Importing emails into the program: At this point you need to use the clipper. (b) Email notes to others: So far not, but is on the to do list.

@ Hi Bob, You will come across the license when you install the program; also found in the help file, and also found at the link under "Policy" tab (on this page). It is licensed per user, so no problem to install on multiple computers if you are the only one using the program.

Thanks,

Brenda Adams I am a Standard version user. I would love to try the Pro version, to see if those extras are things I might want. (And at what price?) Can I load this 30-day Pro version over my Standard and go back safely to the Standard if I do not buy the Pro (when trial period ends)?

PS: I have maybe 7 similar programs and none seem to be as good as yours. I love how I can capture sections of webpages so easily WITHOUT tying up my clipboard (unlike others I've tested)...and how it instantly also grabs the URL (unlike some others I've tested).
I urge folks to try your RightNote. I so love it.
PPS: I have a friend who has used RightNote to create her own personal recipe software...I mean, all her recipes are BEAUTIFULLY arranged within a RightNote notebook. Her method is very sophisticated. This says to me that RightNote uses can be quite varied.

Neil I've installed the portable version to try the pro features. Currently, as far as these types of software I use Ecco Pro and Evernote.

Question: Is there an Android version with sync available? I don't like entering notes on my Kindle Fire but I love the ability to at least automatically sync and view my notes from my desktop on the Kindle. That's a deal maker for me, if you have it.

A couple of usage notes: The first thing I tried though is to create an outline using bullets in a note. Outlines are very useful and important. However, unlike most outliners, which indent when you press Tab, yours doesn't seem to. You have to use the toolbar (or maybe some key combo shortcut. I'd prefer the standard way.

Another: I tried to add a jpeg as a virtual node, and it gave me an error: binary files are not supported. It worked fine with a python (.py) file I tried, and that looked to be a nice feature to "catalog" some code. But why not binary files like jpegs?

Rael Bauer Hi Neil, There is no Android version. RightNote only works on the Windows platform.

Re: bullets: Not sure what you mean. In Word for example, if I press Tab after a bullet it will create a tab, not indent the bullet.

Virtual nodes/notes are intended for editing external text files in-place from RightNote. The following file types are supported for virtual notes: txt, rtf, rvf or plain text such as source code. You could import an image file as an attachment or link.

Harald Vogel I like RN more and more finding out some great features. When setting up my favorite notebooks I tried what you wrote in the helpfile:

1. You can double click on a file in the "recent files" list to add it to the favorites list.

I tried this with the "File-Open" List and in the Resource-Panel but it was not working. Can you tell me which Recent files you meant and how I get it to work.

Also it would be great if it would be possible to set up also favorite notes to quickly jump to notes somewhere in a subtree or even open a note as a page.

Rael Bauer Hi Harald, thanks for the feedback.

Actually the instructions you are referring to are a bit out-dated, since the favorites dialog was changed slightly a while ago. When you click on "Add" or "Edit" (in the favorites dialog), at the bottom left is a button which will bring up the list of recently used files. You can double click on one of these items to select it.

Thanks for the suggestions. Will give it some thought.

Louis H I was actually going to pass over this one (thinking to myself - do I really need another app like this) and then decided to give it a try. Very nice application. What really impressed me, though, was that the vendor made all versions, including upgrades, available at the BDJ discount!!! Those of you who have been around BDJ for some time know how often the deals are limited to new purchases of the product offered. So when I find a vendor such as Bauerapps who demonstrates such a willingness to respect and reward current users as well as new users, well, it's easy to decide to become a user of the program offered. The bonus here is this really is a great program and will make my life easier.

Thanks to BDJ and Bauerapps for putting this offer together!

Software Guy Spent some time with rightnote and it is a full featured note management program that distinguishes itself from the crowded field of competition in several ways. With spreadsheet capabilities, it would be a favorite of those that need this capability built in. Next, the dual pane was a very nice feature for writers and I could see how it would be useful specifically for programmers. Of course tthe split pane feature has lots of other uses too. And very convenient is the built in screen clipper for research or surfing clippings from the internet.
The software comes in 3 versions, free standard and pro and the features depend on the version you buy - go here to get the features you need. http://www.bauerapps.com/stdvspro.html The pro list is very pricey - reasonable today on BDJ but otherwise pricey. When you can buy the excellent texnotes from gemx everyday for $20 and it suits the needs of most for premium notes software, the $59.95 of pro rightnotes is definitely pricey. Even gemx beautiful Harmony PIM is only $39.95 every day with a boatload of features including full notes along with all sorts of organizer features.
Therightnotes clipper is nice (std version and pro) but fastone 5.3 free and lightscreen offer similar functionality for free,

And basic notes software such as AllMyNotes (another straightforward favorite) is inexpensive on BDJ and is constantly being improved - I really like their new MULTI icon and checkbox feature.
For modest needs remember the cute and free minipad2! (32 bit only!) or use the ree version of Rightnotes
So how does RightNotes fit in? - the free is a great deal. the standard fits in well with most other notes managers but distinguishes itself with spreadsheet capabilities and the built in clipper as well as note to note linking (some othercompeting software titles have this feature) at a competitive price. the pro adds split panes and can save web pages but at a premium price.
Selection of a note management program is a matter of special features and personal preference. the field is crowded so you can be picky. basic notes fill the bill for most users, but you may find the need for the special features offered by the various programs - and there are many. Treenotes, evernotes, allmynotes, texnotes, treeprojects to name just a few. And there is the unusual Effective Aspects Notes program, recently redesigned with a new lower price of $15 - worth a look. And there is the unusual Notesbrowser.
Try a few and buy the one that suits your needs.
Very thoughtfully the developer has included all versions and the today, and the license is per user. Multiple licenses are further discounted as are the full array of upgrades in this BitsDuJour offer.

marek jedlinski Nico: do you know why RegNow adds a "sales tax" for sales to EU residents?

When I tried to order, RegNow added VAT to the base pricde (which is OK, I'm in the EU), but then adds a $6.89 USD on top of that as a "sales tax". It does that both for the cc and PayPal option. Isn't the sales tax applicable only to residents of certain states in the US?

This is not normal, unless some tax laws changes within the last week or so. Could anyone at BdJ explain or intervene with RegNow, please?

Glen Coulthard Just wondering which Rich View component you are using in your software. Most notes apps export well to RTF format, but not so much to Word's docx. Even moderate use of indentation, bullets, numbering, graphics, floating images, paragraph styles, and tables are sometimes troublesome when converted. However, some components are definitely better than others. I do a lot of draft writing in apps like this and then must convert to Word for final polishing, so this is an important requirement for my use.

I know that it's a technical question, but one that I run up against with almost all applications in this category.

marek, I don't know the specifics for this account, as it's the software vendor's account with RegNow that determines the VAT, and not our relationship with either RegNow or the vendor. It could very well be that this vendor has incorporated within the EU, which would determine tax for an EU purchase. Unfortunately I don't have full details. It's not something we have control over.

BitsDuJour Admin - Feb 22 2012 at 7:39am Copy Link

Jim McGowan OK, before I make the purchase I would like to know whether or not I will be charged "Sales Tax", as well as what that is specifically.

(Anytime extra fess and/or so-called taxes are added, I feel it is important for the vendor to explain exactly what they are - E.g., to whom is the tax paid?0

Thank you.

marek jedlinski @Nico: Thank you, I understand. I have contacted RegNow and was asked to provide screenshots, so my understanding is that this may indeed be a glitch.

@Jim: You are told before the purchase. I apologize if I did not make it clear. The Sales Tax is added and listed on the final page before you confirm. It's just that, the tax should not be there in the first place (or more precisely, I've never seen a tax like that added purchases within the EU. We don't have a sales tax like that, we do have VAT.)

Jim McGowan Thanks Marek, though I would like an answer from Rael if possible. Mainly because the last time I had a question for RegNow they directed me back to the software vendor.

I am in the US but I have never been charged sales tax for software except when I purchased a physical copy in a retail store. Sales tax in the US must be levied only on a state by state basis.

Rael Bauer @ marek: Just want to say thanks very much for your approbation. I totally agree with Jim: I don't think I could ask for a better recommendation! RightNote was very much inspired by the plans and ideas for KeyNote 2.0. So thank you!

@ marek, Jim: It is normal for a tax/vat of about $5.5-$6 to be added to orders from GB/EU. If you see something more than this then it should be queried. For US no tax should be added.

@ Glen: The term "Rich view" can be a little confusing to people, because it is very much an editor. The component comes from www.trichview.com, and is as you say used by a number of note taking applications. Although RTF is a standard, I would encourage other developers to allow import/export of rich view files (.rvf) since this would allow transfer between applications without any data loss. re: exporting to word, this is supported by the component, and something I would like to add to the program soon.

Jean Sibe Just purchased copy of Pro version. Did not like the "Sales Tax" though - it was +23% price increase. Guess we all EU residents need to support Greece?

Hoping to see this program develop even more and focusing on main Windows application rather than making 5 different versions, (iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows Phone), eventually all missing something and development is stalling for main product.

@ M B, I played around and I don't think this is possible, there is no "Save File" feature, you can just open. And if file is unsupported, you can't even open it - you're stuck. I tried with "DLL" file. No errors either.

Mitchell Kastner Like Glen Coulthard, I use outliners writing tools and export notes to MS Word. With other outliners I copied and pasted web text to RTF notes but some of those notes could not be exported at all much less to MS Word; a colossal waste of time, which put in me in hot water with prospective clients. I need time to test this product out, with the assurance that after 30 days, if it does not suit my needs I can get a refund (perhaps less than a restocking fee as Scrivener charges).Does this program come with a money-back guarantee and if so what are the details of the program?

Rael Bauer @ Hi M B, Yes this should work. When you import the file (or drag 'n drop) select to import as Attachment (in the import options dialog). Set up a password in the file properties dialog (under File menu), and then set to protect the note (Tree-Edit Note-Protect=Yes).

The way to retrieve the original file is to use the Export dialog, and make sure you check the option "Include Protected".

I paid $29.97 for RightNote Pro 2.3.1. And I'm glad I did. But I will continue to use another Personal Information Manager that I only learned about from Bits Du Jour because MyInfo also supports tables but it allows me to put comments at the top of the web pages it downloads. I will also continue to use MetaProducts Inquiry because it does a perfect job of downloading every individual web page. Unfortunately, Inquiry does not yet support tables in notes nor does it allow comments to appear at the top of saved web pages. I see that RightNote Pro is updated frequently and I especially like the downloadable web page improvements made recently. I see that suggestions are welcome. Good. I will submit mine. I'm very glad to know about and buy a copy of RightNote Pro and hope I will soon be using it every day.

James Kenney If I were to run the portable version from inside of Dropbox, is there any protection against my forgetting to close a copy on one computer before opening it on another?
If not, it would seem to be a very simple change to add it.
It does not need to handle the error condition in any way, just tell the user that another copy is using the database, and forbid access until the problem is fixed.
You could also give the user the option to continue at his own risk, to handle the condition where the program was not exited properly.
This could be implemented by the simple method of a .lock file.
For all I know, this is already done, I have not looked for any temp files in the program folder yet!

Can you guess that I have already bought the program and am using the portable version as I post this!
So for, I am impressed!!!

Steven Avery Hi Folks,

Nice to see the extension. I bought yesterday, Pro.

This is a great Bits, one I was waiting for while my notes got a bit stale (the full price of the pro is a bit of scratch, with the BIts it is fine). At Donationcoder we have looked at a number of notesprogram, almost semi-obsessively, looking for the right features and balance and plesant use.

Rightnotes is overall perhaps the single crispest pure notes+++ program (with special features like spreadsheets and tables, and with fine tab usage and a lot more). I look forward to playing with more features like the web clipping, which varies a lot in note program utility.

In the long run, there is nothing wrong in using more than one program, as long as you try to use them for alternating functions (my special research here, my PIM there). However, if one program looks like it can handle most everything with enough clearness, Rightnote is in the lead.

To be fair, others are very good. For regular light use, nothing wrong with the free versions of Rightnote, Treedbnotes or Keynote-NF (free only). On the paid level, Mybase and TreeProjects and some mentioned by SoftwareGuy and others get special note. MyInfo was also mentioned above as having a couple of good features. Whatever you use, you prefer it to be in reasonably active development, which varies a lot.

However, overall, as a pure note-based program, I think it is fair to say that Rightnote is, today #1 , with excellent ongoing development and communication from Rael.

A little forum (even Yahoogroups or Googlegroups, very easy to moderate without the daily concerns of a web forum) is recommended. Where we can chat directly about features and use and development. Alternatively you could use Donationcoder as a talking spot, the way Linkman-Outertech and Chameleon and a few others do. We would like to see you more visible in a friendly environment.

====

Glen, you brought out an interesting point about RTF export to .docx. I usually export to forums or Eudora, so I do not have that problem, but I would be interested in your reporting back (or writing up on Donationcoder ?) your experiences trying to find a good tool for that purpose.

Rael Bauer @ Hi Jim, "allow up to 48 hours for delivery", although usually it should be quite soon after order ;)

@ Hi James, first, when working with Dropbox, I would recommend that you only keep actual note files in Dropbox, not the main application, and not backups (see Options-Backups to set the backup directory).

If a file is changed on one computer, then you should receive a notification on the other computer that the file has changed and "it is recommended that you reload the file now..", so that you are working with the latest copy on that computer.

@ Hi Merle, we have just recently added the webpage capture feature, so at the moment this is the only way to do it. We do hope to add more options over time like you say.

Rael Bauer Hi Droid, Good question, I will give you my thoughts/opinions.

RightNote is more similar to OneNote, and distinctly different to EverNote.

In EverNote your notes are kind of flying around in a big sea, and locating a note is search based: either by search term or/and tags. It's hard to group your notes together in a consistent, well planned and organised manner. I feel EverNote can be well suited to "grabbing info", but then the next step is to sift "the wheat from the chaff". Move important info to a more permanent storage system, with greater organising and structuring power. For little bits and pieces of info this may not be so necessary, but when you are doing more intensive research, web clipping, notes, information processing etc.. you want and need your info to be well structured, and you gain insight and understanding by having your info structured in this way.

With regard to OneNote: Here the programs are much more comparible: I have not used it that much but I can still offer some pointers as to how RightNote is different, and why you would want to include it in your information handling arsenal.

- I feel the tree control gives more organisation power compared to OneNote's "outline view" (don't know what they call it). OneNote's outline view seems well adapted for a small number of topics with not that much indenting. It seem's hard to manage larger numbers of topics and greater levels of organisation.
- One of OneNote's key features is typing in text anywhere in a document. Well, this has it's uses. On the other hand, I usally prefer compiling information in a standard type of editor. Having the ability to move info around all the time can be annoying..;)

Some features unique to RightNote:
- Not sure if this are available in OneNote: ability to protect specific notes.
- Dedicated spreadsheet note for storing account information, any type of lists, with powerful functions (e.g. Fill and standard Excel functions) and ability to import/export to Excel.
- Source code note type (would be important for programmers
- Dedicated webpage note type: stores a webpage exactly as original layout, not just extracting the text and images.
- Specific tools to re-organise notes within a notebook or between notebooks.
- Small self contained and Portable version
- Ability to contact author and make requests and see them implemented.
- There is also a focus to import data from the file system, and also work with external files as part of your work-flow and thereby be able to handle it more easily, something I don't think you can do as easily with OneNote.
- And more to come...

Hope this is useful for you.

Neil Shapiro I did the trial. As tempting as it is, here's why I won't be buying, in the interest of giving feedback: Note that if I didn't find the app somewhat interesting, I wouldn't be taking the time to write this...it's in the hopes of improving it so that it might be useful to me in the future.

I have no vested interest other than as a user of these apps. Currently, I use Ecco, which is very old but still works and hard to beat. And Evernote for web page clipping. And "The Journal 5" for journaling/notes

The most natural way for me to write notes are in outline form. Ecco is the best at this. You can fake it in other notetakers using a bullet or numbered lists in a note, but in this app the behavior of bullets is awkward to enter. I mentioned this before, and Rael didn't quite understand my point, so I wanted to elaborate. Try it in Word, Open office or Google Docs. Start with a bullet, type the text, press enter, you get another bullet. Then instead of typing text, hit Tab. The bullet indents automatically to the next level. This isn't what RightNote does. Note that Evernote does this in this manner as well, conveniently.

Also, there's no concept of date in the notes. The Daily Journal is ideally organized in this regard. The tree is actually a calendar, and there's a traditional month at a time, and you can see your notes in these context/organizations. Great for organizing by date. Full text search really takes care of the rest for me. There are obviously times when I want to organize by other structure, but I also ALWAYS want access to notes by date. One workaround for this would be to have a quick keyboard shortcut that inserts the current date. Then you could quickly do that at the top of a note. But you really need to keep create/modify dates for the notes too IMHO.

I do like the relatively clean interface, and the inclusion of the programmers syntax highlighting. Perhaps that's why I keep considering it...maybe I'd use it for code snippets. But the rest per above is just a show stopper for me. I'll check it out in future versions.

Some bugs I noted in testing:
- Screen capture does not work right in a dual monitor situation. It's stuck on one monitor.
- After capturing a web page, the middle pane (I had the search pane open) was not resizing properly, leaving a gap between panes and not making use of the space, as I maximized or resized the window.

Anyway, I'll keep an eye on the app to see how it progresses.

Rael Bauer Hi Neil, Thanks for the valuable feedback and suggestions.

I now understand what you mean re the tab/indent issue. I will see if this can be fixed.

I also agree being able to view notes by date is useful and important. Currently there is the ability to view history in the Resource Panel. This is limited, but there are plans for added functionality. FYI, note creation and modified dates are stored in the application. You can view the creation date in the header panel.(Right click header panel for options).

Thanks for the bug reports.

Brenda Adams SB and all:
I just ordered the Pro upgrade for myself. The developer is very helpful. I love the new entire webpage grab feature. (I've always loved the grab features RightNote offers, and now to the the entire webpage grab, for my uses, will be a real boon.

As far as ordering, here is what I saw. Itemized out is the item itself plus, next line down, the Extended Download (with a Trash Can icon sitting next to it). You have to clear the ED by clicking on the trash can. When you do that, it immediately clears the item and a new amount is summed up. You then fill in your payment data (like credit card info) and then are taken to the next page where AGAIN the itemization is shown and you are to Accept or Reject the itemization.

You must have been eagerly hitting enter a bit too fast to read the screen as you ordered. Maybe this will be a very cheap lesson for your future. But I do hope the Reg folks help you to undo this...this one time. I know it's not the developer who did this to you--he seems like a really good guy from my past dealings with him. You do really need to carefully see/read/scrutinize what you are signing up for. The program is a good one.

DPinAZ I had downloaded the trial version 2.3.1 of RightNote, and based on using it decided to buy it when it became available on Bits du Jour. As with several others, the purchase process did not work correctly, and while it appears I was charged for the software, I did not get a link for downloading, nor did I get a license key.

Since then, the vendor sent me an email with a link to the software, but still no license key.

I downloaded the software from the provided link, but when installing and running it I find that it is an old version of the software (Ver 2.1.1) copyright 2010, and that it had overwritten the new version that was already installed on my computer. When running it, it says that it is an expired trial version, and that the file it is trying to open is from a newer version and may not work correctly.

Is the deal here on Bits du Jour for the old 2010 software even though there is a newer version available?

To answer your question: Both. To start you organise your notes into a folder like / tree structure (with multiple pages as well), so you can easily locate your notes that way.

Then there is a search function which will show you notes that contain text you are looking for. You click on a result to go to that note. Take a look at the picture at the top of the page for an illustration.

Susan Horton I have -- completely coincidentally -- been putting RN through rigorous testing for the last 3 weeks (on their free trial), and recommend it highly and enthusiastically! I was, in fact, days away from buying the standard version when this offer hit my mail box this morning, and I almost fell over!

I used Keynote for many years & moved to MyNotesKeeper a decade ago when KN went the way of the dinosaurs. MNK is probably the best tree information organizer out there, but development and support is almost non-existent and while I have my entire in my MNK databases, it's obviously time to move on. Thus a 7 months' long search for the best replacement.

I have tried literally everything on the market. MNK is a hard act to follow but RightNote has managed the impossible & won me over. I'd like a little more freedom in customization -- the font on the tabs is too small for my old eyes (you can change the default font everywhere else, oddly) and I would like a good auto-correct feature, but those are minor complaints.

I know this sounds as though I work for the company or am being paid for this, but (alas!) I'm not. Just wildly enthusiastic about a piece of software that does just what I want and need it to do. The timing on this offer is magical! Thank you.

Alexander Deliyannis @ J.Moreno: I own both Surfulater and Rightnote. They are very different beasts. Surfulater is optimised for collecting web content in a usable form. Rightnote is a more general personal information manager.

I suggest you check out the feature list at the link above.

Chris Roy Jackson I have a question:

I have been using "FlashGet" as my Download Manager for about 13 years !!! I LOVE the way I can keep Notes regarding Purchases, Rights (Resale. usage, whether it is a USER license or a COMPUTER lICENSE, etc.) Details, etc. in a " *.log " file so that I don't lose those details in the future!
However, I then have to Move the files into my "Install" or Business" or "Documents" Folers (and sub folders").
Then when I need somewthing I have to search appropriately to find a file and READ to find out what the "rights" are.

Can the Notes be in a (searchable) "database Format" so that I could enter some of the variable details into searchable "Entry Fields"???

Is it possible to Link a Note to a file at the time of Download (or after moving it)? If so is there any facility for "Auto"-updating (or Manually started) of Links ???

If any Users of the software OR someone from BauerApps can reply it would be very helpful so that I can see whether this will be a replacement for my current Notes Application.
I am downloading it now to trial, and may answer some of these questions myself. If I DO buy it, I'd like to do it in the next 18 hours for this great dicount.

Any valuable input will be GREATLY Appreciated !!
Thanks-in-Advance,

Bruno Verschraegen Like J. Moreno I am glad to know about RightNote but for the extensive web research we do I too will stick with Surfulater. I (briefly) tested RightNote this morning and have been using Surfulater for almost 2 years (after a BDJ promo). For website capturing neither product manages to truly faithfully capture most sites' layout, in the sense that information shown in "columns" is usually reproduced one beneath the other. But overall I have the impression that Surfulater gives me more, also in terms of structure.

On the other hand, I am uneasy with the forthcoming changes in Surfulater's "next-gen" version, which is bound to “file” articles (equivalent of RightNote's notes) exclusively through the use of tags, completely abandoning a classical file structure. The day that this really happens, I might well give up on Surfulater and move over to RightNote. For me, tags can be a great addition to a file structure, but not a replacement…

Rael Bauer @ Chris: I am not familiar with FlashGet and how/where it creates log files.

As far as RightNote is concerned,it certainly can help you store such information (and I use it myself for this purpose).

You would usually want to use the clipper or webpage capture (see the New User Guide and Help file for more information). You can then easily find this information, even if in different notebooks (the Pro version searches through multiple notebooks).

It is also possible to link to an external text file (which will be included in searches), however the index is only updated if the file edit is initiated from RightNote, so this may not be what you are after.

Rael Bauer Hi Mariusz:
1) Currently host4africa is our webhosting provider. When the program starts it checks a file on the server to find out the latest version. If you disable checking for updates (in the options), then this should not happen.

2) I believe you are quite right. This is something that needs to be handled for RichView notes. Currently the "Link to File" action (in the Tree menu-Add child) or Import (as link) will handle the paths in a portable fashion, so these should be preferred.

Bauerapps - Nov 26 2012 at 12:33pm Copy Link

Rael Bauer Hi Bob:
1) It is possible to keep more than one notebook open at a time using multiple instances of RightNote. However the preferred method is to only use one instance of RightNote, and use the favorites toolbar to quickly move between different notebooks.

2) It is more likely to depend on the number of notes per page and their contents, than on the actual database size. The program is designed more for spreading your information over a number of pages and notebooks, instead of all in one tree. When you load a notebook, only the current page/tree is loaded.

3) I do not think so.

Glen Hilton RE
P S I have two questions:
Is it possible to select several notes at once?

Rael Bauer Hi P S:
1) Not yet. we plan to add this feature soon.

Hi Rael, this was also one of my biggest concerns. I am no longer able to trial the standard or pro version and couldn't remember if selection of multiple notes were possible for quick transfer on the other editions. As a long term user of MNK this function is certainly possible. Your search options with word count either side is second to none, pity about the lack of global replace, it would be a real winner for this type of app..

Mark Johnson For those asking about selection of multiple notes:

It is quite easy to select a portion of a tree (any number of nodes), then copy or cut/paste it to any other place within the same tree or another tree.

I use the above all the time to move projects (including dozens of child notes) into a 'QA Test' or 'Production Release' folder, depending on the status of the work.

I'm not sure if the above is what you are talking about or not, but it's certainly a great feature that is not as easy in most other note managers.

Dierk Have been looking for a new Document/Note Keeper, and have been Impressed with the RightNote trial -- especially fact that a couple of the Glitches that we (and presumably others) reported during the trial have already been addressed!

Now if we could only be rid of the "Spell Check Did Not Load" error....

In any case, purchased the Pro version, and have already found that it provides a much easier method to Capture the web Purchase Screens than our previous option. (Trial version already running on the system.)

It will still take a while to determine how to best utilize RightNote, and would love to see additional functions in the future (Android version, with Sync to a Smartphone, anyone??), but it should do a fine job under Windows in the meantime.

Bob McLain I bought a license for RightNote after spending a couple of hours yesterday with the trial version. Over the past 20 years, I've used most every outliner and organizer on the market, from KeyNote through Knowsy Notes. I think, finally, I've found in RightNote one that does (almost!) everything I want it to do.

One feature I'd like to see in the next version: being able to store a separate "Scratch" note for each page in a notebook instead of one big "Scratch" note for the entire notebook.

Rael Bauer J Moreno:
1) The program allows you to export notes into standard formats. So for example the richview note can be exported to rtf, txt, doc and html. Spreadsheet note to xls and csv. Webpage to html. You select the desired format in the Export dialog.

2) Yes, mostly. As mentioned above, use the "Preserve tree structure" option when exporting. This will preserve the tree structure of the notes. Then other programs that allow you to import a file and folder structure will be able to do that.

Javier Gil Say I copy a picture from a website and then add it to one of my notes. What format does it save it in? because all I get is "paste as bitmap" or paste as html (the html code does include the source, which is nice).
I mean, say it's a jpg image. When saved, does it save in bmp? (which would increase the size of the database quite a lot if I added lots of pictures). png? gif? etc.' I use other outliners and I do get the option of "pasting as png, etc."
You can't add an alarm to a note, can you? that would be a nice feature.

I liked the way it handles creating tables. Really easy, nice feature. The "page" concept is quite nice too.
Overall, quite impressed.

Thanks for providing the community with a free product also. (Your program Compare Advance).

Robert W I would also like a support forum. With RightNote I took this opportunity to upgrade from the Standard version to the Professional version. The searches can be very very fast, and show matching occurrences in Context. However there is a long standing bug dealing with the Search. You cannot restrict the Search to just the Tree Captions (NoteTree). The Note Content seem to be always searched.

I had been a long time user of Treepad, another PIM tool. After a long search and review of many other PIMs - I have been glad that I made the switch to RightNote. The support (Rael) and ongoing enhancements are superior. The information that I paste or otherwise import has much better formatting and complete content than I would get with my old PIM. Recommended.

Rael Bauer Javier:
1) If you paste as a web clip, it will save the image in the original format (e.g. if it is png, it will save it as png). If you choose to paste as bitmap, then it will paste as a bitmap. You should not worry about size too much, since by default all notes are compressed (with zip compression). A zip compressed bitmap is about the same size as a png image.

VLM Rael Bauer - Just my small bit of input: I think it would indeed be useful to sync RightNote notebooks or selected tree sections with 2 notebooks. And I agree with the forum suggestion. Your product seems to offer many opportunities for user creativity, and a forum allows users to share some of that knowledge and experience, both with one another and with you. It's different than support tickets, in that support focuses on a solution for one person, whereas discussion in a forum focuses on solutions that many can use.

Dierk Have RightNote Pro, and it is a wonderful "personal knowledge management" application, with an excellent on-system UserGuide, and an Indexed Text Search with the option to include results from multiple RightNote databases.

HOWEVER: Have been concerned that the vendor website has been unavailable for the past couple weeks (or ? more) - and seems to remain so:
"The server at www.bauerapps.com is taking too long to respond."

Hopefully that is only a (semi-)Temporary Glitch - particularly as there seems to be another RN Promo in the works.

As others have suggested (as we did in an email directly to the vendor), a User Forum would be Most Welcome.

And, in a Personal Ideal World, an Android version of RN - even with less ambitious features - would probably instantly become the best Android app of its kind.

Rich OBrien RightNote can instantly create Bookmarks like those in Evernote only far better. The Bookarks with Thumbnails in Evernote cannot be customized. With the RichViewEditor.exe from RightNote's developer Rael Bauer, without being software programmer I have easily created a Bookmark Template to capture in a few seconds bookmarks with a large 400 pixel (about 4.5 inches) thumbnail picture of each website. I also created a template which instantly captures a huge 9 inch picture of each website. Under Clipper Options on RightNote's Tools Menu, I can switch to a different Bookmark Templates in an instant. RightNote's bookmarks automatically include the website address, the website title and description. And and I can add notes, plus paste text and graphics from the web page into the bookmarks. RightNote provides a Table Menu which provides complete tools for further improving its bookmarks which are actually tables. RightNote with its customizable, instant bookmarks is by far the best software I've found for doing research on the Internet and collecting all the information I need to find my way back to the websites I've visited. Also, RightNote can download a copy of a web page and lets you edit it. Ever print a web page and find the type is too small to read? RightNote lets you download, edit and increase the type size or change the type font before you print. I love this software. You will too.

Aug 10 2013 at 10:40am Copy Link

Scott Youngman @Scott Kettman
1. Capture to a webpage type note is NOT editable (shortcut Win+W).

2. Clip to a RichView type note IS editable (shortcut Win+V or Win+A), including combining with another RichView note. You can clip an entire web page including graphics, if desired, thus essentially replicating the webpage type note and gaining editability. Simple formatting is preserved, but complex formatting might not be. I have found this to be all I need in saving web pages, highlighting or deleting parts, etc.

You might want to test this in the trial version of RN.

Scott Youngman @Drive: Let's expand your question to whether the Free, Standard, or Pro version is best for you. It depends on what features you need for the kind of work you want to do, or what features you will miss by not upgrading.

I agree, the Free version really does do a lot -- Rael has been very generous in making all that available for everyone. I used the Free version quite happily over the past year but gradually realized that a paid version would save me significant time: richview formatting, tables, spell checking, spreadsheet note type, indexing of richview and spreadsheets for fast searches, links to other notes, and (especially useful for me) formatted web clips. I think the offer of $15 for Standard version is really a bargain. You might start there, then ask if the additional features such as Evernote integration make the Pro version worthwhile. Give the trial version a try to test the various features.

Ela S. I've gone through the trial version now - and think that your program (Pro version) is the best ever offered. Information tree organisation at it's best.

I am using Evernote, MS One Note, All My Notes, My Info, CintaNotes, SEO Note - but every prog does miss some finesse.

So most thing I am actually interested in is the information clipping: How to get information, text snippets, web sites etc as fast and simple as possible into your information manager? Per mouse click and per hotkey?

Can you thus give some details on the clipping function? Also, does RightNote save the source information and date (eg URL) automatically?

Aug 11 2013 at 2:36am Copy Link

Rael Bauer @Drive: It is true that the free version is quite useful, however it is missing key features that are found in the std and pro versions.

If your needs are very basic you may find the free version sufficient. If you want to use a full featured note taking application then you should look at the commercial versions more closely.

The freeware version is based on a basic text editor with only basic functions, whereas the std version is based on a powerful editor which supports tables, images, web clips, webpage bookmarks, links, advanced paragraph styling etc...

The spreadsheet note supports accounting information, and is also well suited to storing lists of any kind.

The Pro version includes webpage, Evernote and attachment note types. The Evernote note enables you to sync selected notes with mobile devices, and also search for text in images.

The multi notebook search (in Pro version) is something that you may not think to be too useful when you first start using the software. However, after a couple of weeks, when you have a number of notebooks, you will find it to be quite indispensable.

Rael Bauer Hi Ely, thanks for the comments.

To clip text from a web page:
- select text. Copy (Ctrl+C).
- Open RightNote (Ctrl+Shift+F12).
- Go to/create desired note.
- Press paste (Ctrl+V).

At the bottom of the clip, a link is added with the source url, and also date/time of capture.

You could also capture as follows:
- select text. Copy (Ctrl+C).
- Paste as new note (Global hotkey Win+V). (In this case, make sure you have the right notebook open and page selected beforehand...)

This will create a new note automatically. The note's URL field will be set to the source webpage.

Rael Bauer Hi Brenton,

I'm not exactly sure what kind of device you are referring to. Is this something that you can insert into a USB drive and works with Windows? If yes, then it should work ok.

There are 2 ways to install the portable version. (See the download page on our website):
- Portable installer, will run a wizard to install the program on a specific folder on the portable device.
- Zip file, unzip the zip archive to a folder of your choice.

A single license covers both desktop and portable installations.

Its ability to capture text and web clips (with URL to the source) doubles that value. I use the clip feature regularly and it's very fast and easy: Highlight the text, then Win+V to add a new note, or Win+A to append the clip to an existing note (no need for Ctrl+C with this method). And in the Pro version Win+W captures an entire webpage to an editable note.

Hi Jim,

re your problem: I need to clarify a few things with you, so I think it's best to communicate directly via email. I will contact you

Yes, the first release of v3 only includes a new Evernote related feature. Many non-Evernote features are planned though.

Don't work with images (only) in Right Note, but wonder what difference the Import Settings might make - default is to import them "As Link(s)" - perhaps changing that setting to "As Attachment" would speed up viewing time (shorten delay) - ??

Michael R. Thanks for the fast answer.

Do I understand it right, I'll get all v3.x for free and if no v4 appears within 1 year after my former buy, I'll have to buy v4 (if I want it) and it is 50% discounted? (I got a little confused by the terms update (which I suppose is upgrade, a version with an increased first digit) and minor updates...)

Do I need a new key for my v2 to be able to run v3?

What does an upgrade from v2 Std to v3 Pro normally cost?
Is this one discounted today too?

Michael R. At the begin of the installation-process of v3 there is an explanation, which seems to be controversial of my former interpretation:

As it seems I can update until a full year since my purchase is over.
After that v3 will not work any more and I have to jump back to v2.

This time correct?

Watcher1924 Hello to all. @Rael Bauer, thanks for the offer.

1) Is there a forum yet (if not an official, some forum that you approve)?

2) If after one year version 4 isn't out yet, can we still download and use the latest versions?

3) Is there a keyboard shortcut which enables us to change the focus from one toolbar to the other (I'm interesting in being able to scroll through as many toolbars as possible)?

4) The list of recent notebooks isn't enough. Is there a chance that you will implement favourites lists (including a way to target specific pages and - even - notes)?

5)
a) What about a password generator?
b) Can we lock some notes with different passwords that we use for others? In a future version maybe?

Rael Bauer @Michael: What you said in your first analysis is correct. An update refers to a new version, an upgrade refers to paying for a new release/license.

Your license key from v2 will work for v3 for 12 months from the date of purchase. To clarify by example, if v3.4 is released within 12 months from the date of your first purchase, then your key will work for v3.4 indefinitely. However if after 12 months, v3.5 is released then you need to purchase an upgrade to use v3.5.

We've made the price to upgrade from v2 std to v3 pro, to be the same as to upgrade from v2 pro to v3 pro. The price is $29.95, and it is not included in today's discount.

Watcher1924 Thanks.

1) Any way to show the date in the panel in english? What about showing the time, too?

2) Can we make the new note created with Ctrl+V to be right bellow the focused note and not at the bottom of the tree? This is very inconvenient.

3) Can we use different password for every notebook?

4) I'm using ver. 2.9 in XP Home Edition. If I don't press Ctrl+C before Ctrl+V or Ctrl+A the clip doesn't contain what was highlighted but what the clipboard contained (even if this content was from another program I was using earlier!). Plus, no matter if I press Ctrl+C or not, when I use Ctrl+V or Ctrl+A the clip doesn't contain any formating at all. Plus I think Ctrl+V - used in a specific program - can cause the note to have double text (and I'm not confused by the fact that this is what Ctrl+A would cause if pressed twice). Is this normal for the "RichEdit" notes?

5) If we uninstall Internet Explorer is there any chance for RightNote to be affected?

6) ***** When the text is not in english and you search using Ctrl+F you don't get all the result because of an issue with the stress mark. When you search with the Resource Panel you could get even less because of an issue with both the stress mark and the case of the characters. Is there any hope about this issue? *****

Rael Bauer @Robert: RightNote does not have a function to remove duplicate notes.

Rael Bauer @Watcher:

1) Not sure what you are referring to. The display should follow your system settings.

2) In the clipper options (Tools-Clipper Options), there is an option for new clips to be created "as child of current note".

3) Yes.

4) I'm a little confused by your question. Do you mean Win+V/Win+A (instead of Ctrl+V/Ctrl+A)? It is recommended that you keep "auto copy when clipping" unchecked, since it was not always consistent. And therefore always press Ctrl+C before paste. Yes- RichEdit only pastes plain text. The Richview note in the std/pro versions supports html formatting, etc..

5) Yes. The webpage note and Evernote note types require IE to be installed.

6) RichEdit may not have full unicode support. This should work fine in the RichView note. There is also a setting in Options-Search-Extended Unicode support, that should help you for global search. Please send further comments related to this to support address.

Win-A / Win-V = old clipboard (instead of highlighted text) as plain text

Watcher1924 1) Any way to make the program show the date in the panel in english and show the time, too , regardless of the system clock?

2) What support address are you talking about?

3) Can you garantee that if I take the pro version I will not have the text of my clip doubled when using Ctrl+V and that when I have unchecked the "Download description tag" it will stop inserting the title of the web page in the panel (by "description tag" you mean the title of the page, right)? For the latter I also exited the program and run it again, just in case.

4) The setting in "Options-Search-Extended Unicode support" didn't help for the searching issue, besides, I don't use the global search because I have the freeware version. For several issues you keep refering to RichView note type, even for simple things like the indication of the address when hovering the cursor over a link. You should let potential users know that before they create a large number of notes (maybe you should consider an emulate-freeware-edition mode, like what XYplorer has). So now I can't make a "healthy" searching through my notes under the circumstances I mentioned at the other comment?

Rael Bauer Brian and Brenton: Yes this is correct you need to press Ctrl+C before pasting.
What makes you think you don't need to press Ctrl+C?

However there was a problem where this did not work 100% of the time, so by default this option is now unchecked. As far as I can see we have updated the documentation to reflect this..)

Rich OBrien I love RightNote. I have it set to start with Windows. I use it all day, every day. I wish I had seen this offer this morning so I could share my praise for RightNote with more people. I didn't see the offer until after 11 pm because I've been gone all day. RightNote is great software and is frequently updated so it is getting better all the time. I wish there was a way to put images into these comments so I could show you the terrific illustrated bookmarks RightNote makes at the touch of a button. With RightNote I can instantly make bookmarks which include the website address, the title of the website, the description if there is one and a large 400 pixel image of the website. I was taking at least ten minutes to manually create similar illustrated bookmarks that RightNote now creates in seconds.
If a webpage is something I wish to save along with my own comments at the top, I do a Ctrl A to select the entire webpage and paste as HTML into RightNote. With few exceptions, RightNote does an excellent job of pasting a webpage that looks like the original.
Ever find a webpage that you wish to change to a larger text size before you print it? RightNote is the best program I have ever found for preparing web pages for printing. A few times when I wish to keep everything exactly as it appears in a browser, I have RightNote save the web page. RightNote is close to being a web browser. I was surprised when I clicked on a link within a webpage and the next web page automatically downloaded into RightNote. Get this software. $29.97 is a great price for this great software.

Brian W Question: How best to easily manage where new clips go?
Suggestion: Add option: After Win-V to create a new note, change the focus to that note so that additional Win-A appends are added to that note.
Why: Typically, I will want to make several notes on one subject (win-A) but when I change to another subject, I would Win-V for a new note and then win-A to continue on that subject. If I want to go back to the first subject, I probably just Win-v again to create a new note, then later go back to RN to combine or file the notes, but at least all win-A appends are on a single subject.
With the current setup, before taking any clippings, one must open RN and set a focus, otherwise the notes could go somewhere unexpected.

Aug 13 2013 at 3:26am Copy Link

0

Brian W Simple method to combine/merge notes?
(1) Use win-V create several new clipping notes on diverse subjects (without opening RN to change focus)
(2) Open RN, merge notes that are on the same subject, then move them to the correct hierarchical location.

(I tried drag-drop. but no luck.)
(I also tried to highlight a section of one note then drag it to another note in the tree, but this also did not move or copy the text, even though the cursor changes to "+" to indicate that a paste operation should occur.)

Richard Blake A version 2 user has the option today to pay 29.95 to upgrade his existing license to v3.x Pro or to pay 29.95 to acquire a second Pro license, leaving the v2 license available to install on a different PC. So upgrading an existing license today doesn't make much sense. Comment?
Does the 1 year free upgrades policy apply equally to paid upgrade as it does to new purchase?
Is there a way to navigate from www.bauerapps.com to page bauerapps.com/rightnote-release-history ?
It appears that prior versions, both major and minor, are removed from the bauerapps site, and apparently from other popular download sites: a v2 user who failed to download v 2.9.0 between its release on July 4 and the release of 3.0 on July 31 is now out of luck. True?

Rich OBrien Reply from Rich OBrien to Watcher1924 Using RightNote Pro 3.0, add a RichView note, copy an entire web page using the Chrome Browser to the Windows clipboard by using Ctrl A, then switch back to RightNote. Press the right mouse button to display the mouse menu, to the right of Paste is a submenu with three choices: HTML,Text, Unicode Text.

Bits Du Jour's web page is one of the exceptions that doesn't paste well as HTML. Instead, download the website into RightNote. I see that many of the icons don't appear correctly as in Chrome. Rael Bauer is constantly releasing improvements to RightNote. I expect this will be corrected someday.

To create bookmarks with large illustrations (thumbnails) of each web page, you'll need to get the free RichViewEditor from Rael Bauer to create Bookmark Templates. Open the Bookmark Template by going to the Tools Menu - Clipper Options. Using the RichViewEditor I've created Bookmark Templates which make Bookmarks and instantly grab pictures of web pages as large as 800 pixels - roughly 8 inches on my computer screen.

Carsten Mads I’m testing the 30 days Trial and it looks really good… Although, I would like to see the functionality/option like Brian W suggests (Quote: “After Win-V to create a new note, change the focus to that note so that additional Win-A appends are added to that note”). And I’m totally agreed with Brian W in his arguments, for this functionality. Plus another of Brian W’ comments on the “missing” text Drag-Drop functionality between RN and internal RN notes and also external application text.

But - I have one problem (bug or something?) in RN: The Screen Capture function is not working on my system (W7 x64)… When I use the hotkey; ctrl+shift+F11, I get the screen capture session, with four red marks in the screens corners, and then I press ENTER to copy the selected area to the clipboard. Now when I press Win-A or Win-V I get a RN Notification saying; “Warning: Nothing clipped”. It doesn’t matter to change my “Default Note” from let’s say, Ridge View Format to Memo. Am I missing something here?
Hoping for your reply - before this deal expires...

PS. In “Clipper Options” I’ve tried with and whiteout check mark in the “Auto copy when press clipper hotkey”

Scott Youngman @Carsten: Clipping and screen capture operate differently, so what you experienced is normal. RN's clipping function operates on selected text, but when you have made a screen capture there is nothing selected. Instead, the screen capture has gone to the clipboard, and as you found, you can paste anything from there into RN. To say that another way, Win+V and Win+A are commands to "clip the currently selected area to RN", not general commands to paste from the clipboard to RN.

Watcher1924 @Rael Bauer and @Rich OBrien, thank you very much.

I need the dates that are saved along with the notes to have a uniformity and not to be different depending on which computer I'm going to use the program, nor I want to have to fiddle with the system settings every time.

I have downloaded the 3.0.3 version. I chose in the settings the richedit note type as default but when I press Ctrl+V it makes a richview note. That way I cannot reproduce the problem with the double text.

Maybe I misunderstood the term (in clipper options) description tag. Where can we find this in the note? Is it the title of the web page we clip from?

Of course a new user is supposed to check out the freeware or the pro or the standard editions of a program (or all of them, depending on his intentions and his needs) but IMHO he is not supposed to check about the existence of some very basic thinks (usually we don't have only one program to check, the developers should take this into consideration). Basic things like being able to see the address of a link without having to click on it and opening in the browser. From what I understand, in the freeware he can't have that because he can't edit richview notes. Some of us maybe have created a lot of notes before realizing we can't have that or the fact that the search in the second language has problems. Maybe the latter isn't so basic or simple (a tecky guy could answer that better than me) but the users should be let know since the beginning that when entering the search terms they have to write them once with the stress mark, once without it, once with lower case, one with capital... maybe with even more variations. When we can use the richview note type the things are better for the lower case - capital case issue but only for the text in the content of the notes; for the text in the titles the problem remains, as does the problem with the stress mark (regardless of where the text is).

Can we create links for notes outside of the current notebook? Is there any way to move a linked note to another page or notebook without breaking the link?

Can we take screenshots in bitmap type?

Can we browse the internet using RightNote?

Is there a greek dictionary for RightNote?

I believe that a practical way (for the user, for the developer I don't know :) ) for handling the clipping according to out needs would be a small toolbar, with a couple of check boxes, radio buttons and action buttons, that would stay on top of the other windows and would allow you to choose if the next clip would go to the current note or to a new one, if a new note would be inserted at the bottom of the tree or as a child note and if it would become focused, if the program's window should come to the foreground to inspect the note or not etc. The user would change easily the essential settings for the next clips and he would keep them as it is for as long as this would work for him. When his clipping needs would change he would only do one or two clicks without leaving the browser or any program he was working with.

Drive Stark Naked Is it possible to save an email to a note?

I tried to save an email from Thunderbird and it saved similarly to a PDF i.e. the email detail was not shown as text. Instead there was a link to the email location in Thunderbird. However RightNote could not find this link when I clicked on it and in fact the link page showed "No file found".

The only way I could link from RightNote to the email was to save the email to a file and then create a note from that file. A link shows and it can be followed to the email with it's detail and attachments etc.

I found I could copy the email text and save that to a note but there is no format detail included nor is there any way to directly access attachments.

Is there some other way to handle this more easily?

P.S. I found only one small reference to "email" in the help file.

Scott Youngman @Drive: I opened an email (in Eudora), selected the entire contents including header information (which Eudora shows in one panel with the body of the message), hit Win+V, and it was added to RN as a new note. This also works in Word documents, PDFs, etc. Basic formatting is preserved but not graphics nor attachments. Alternatively, I have saved emails as a text file (an option in Eudora), then clipped that file to RN. So that is similar to what you tried on your second attempt.

TopDog I bought RightNote Pro yesterday and installed it on my desktop. I downloaded and installed the portable version, it uses the license off of the desktop automatically. As referenced above @ Rael Bauer Hi Brenton, A single license covers both desktop and portable installations.

When I put the portable drive on my laptop it it comes up with the window to enter the license code, if I enter the original information it wont accept it.

Does this mean in order to run RightNote on my desktop and a portable version on my laptop I need to purchase two license's?

Rael Bauer @Carsten: The clipper works when you are in another application and want to clip something to RightNote. It will not work when you are in RightNote itself.

Yes, you are correct. After a screen capture you need to go to a note and press paste (Ctrl+V) to insert to the image (so it is a different logic to the clipper). There may be more options in the future.

Peter S Dear Rael Bauer, I have some questions to ask you, because I cant find the answer on your website - well not so far at least, and I am unable to attempt an installation on this communal PC ( I am currently 600miles and 3 days driving away from my own computer).

Question 1: Does the Pro version of RightNote have a Backup-on-Save, OR, an incremental Backup, OR, Auto-Backup function, (or, all 3) so that the User can either refer to an earlier version or the user's work will be saved in the event of a program crash?

Q 2: If the answer is NO, could this be a possible option in future updates/upgrades?

Q 3: I note that some users on day #1 had problems getting the order window to work (with anything but Internet Explorer), do you know if this now works with Firefox &/or Chrome?

Q 4: 32Bit or 32&64Bit

Q 5: is Windows 8 compatability planned?

I have got too go off to work now for and I hope to be back before the offer expires (and hopefully to read some favourable answers too).

I really want to thank you very much for your help.

Rael Bauer @Flo: RightNote uses the SQLite database engine. Recommendations are more relavent than restrictions: i.e the database engine supports very large files (GB/TB), however for best use of the software, it is recommended that you split data over multiple tabs and multiple notebooks, and keep in the MB range.

Rael Bauer @Drive: At this time there is no specific handling for email, so usually you would copy/paste text that you find important.

@Scott: No - you do not need to purchase 2 licenses. The license should work in the portable version just as in the desktop version. Perhaps you did not copy/paste the details exactly right i.e added a space before or after one of the fields... Please try again

Rael Bauer Hi Peter: 1) Yes indeed. There is a backup-on-save function (which is enabled by default) with various settings, the main one being how many backup copies you want to keep.

3) I can't tell you if the problem has been resolved or not, since I could not reproduce it on my computer. It only affected a very small number of users.

4) The application is 32 bit, which means it runs fine on both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows.

5) It is compatible with Win 8. Maybe not reflected in all the documentation...

- It's a pleasure!

Peter S Dear Rael, Thanks for your FAVOURABLE replies, and I have just one more question which came to me during the day.

I use a Text editor called ConTEXT v0.98.6 to occasionally edit Add-Ons/a.k.a. ''Extensions'' for use with Firefox. I appreciate that text editing for computer programming (including a hexi-decimal function) may not have been what you designed RightNote to be primarily used for, however:

Q 6: Could/can RightNote v3.x be used as a programming text editor?

Finally, I'd like to pass on my to you heaps of praise for making
yourself available as a Vendor to answer the many many questions put to you over the last 2 days (many vendors NEVER reply or respond at all during their deal periods).

There is a source code note, which is intended mainly for source code snippets, and includes a number of source code highlighters. You can also link to an external file. The overall functionality is quite basic compared to a dedicated source code editor, so that would be up to you.

Thanks

Rael Bauer @Watcher: "Description tag" is actually a field in a html webpage, nothing to do with a RightNote note. This field can be included/excluded when you save a bookmark through the bookmark hotkey.

It is possible to change from one note type to another in the Note Properties dialog (F2). Click on the "Contents" field.

So far you cannot link to a note in another notebook. There is currently a limitation that a link will be broken if you move a note from one page to another.

You can download dictionaries for other languages. The help file has more details.

Watcher1924 Thank you.

The problem I was trying to reproduce appeared when using Ctrl+V with a certain program. That was happening with the freeware edition of 2.9, where I could not test it in richview notes. Now, with the trial of 3.0.3, I can use richview notes (and it doesn't seem to happen) but I can' t test it with the richedit ones because when I press Ctrl+V the automatically created note is always a richview one. I have gone to Options\Notebook\Notes\Note settings\Default content type and I have choosed "Rich text format" but, still, the automatically created notes are richview ones. Maybe I should go to Clipper Options and change the New Clip Template?

You wrote "so far" and "currently". Is there a chance that the features I mentioned about the linking between notes will implemented?

Steven Avery Hi,

Rightnote is truly fine, pretty much everybody should have a notepad supreme, and while some freebies are ok, you do get a lot more with Rightnote and it becomes largely an everyday use. There are worthy competitors, but basically today you can't go wrong with Right. Many of us tried out Treepad, Treedbnotes, Keynote-NF etc. before deciding on Rightnote.

Here are two editing suggestions (if I have not missed them):

Make the paste as text simpler. In Eudora, we highlight the text and tap one special button on top and zoom, we have format from text. Rightnote should have that capability.

Allow the creation of individual buttons with our favorite colors. I would have buttons up there for my fav green, blue and brown and one or two other colors. I am talking about the text color, a feature continually in use.

Thanks.

Steven

Scott Youngman @Steven Avery: I think this will meet your need for text color buttons. In Tools - Definitions - Color Definitions - Foreground Colors Count, set the number of buttons you want. Then in View - Toolbars - RichEdit (and any other note type you will use) check TextColors. When the button bar appears, select a color for each one from the color picker. You can do the same for background colors and "mixed" text+background colors.

Steven Avery Hi,

Thanks Scott. Sounds good, but I'm not sure about "When the button bar appears, select a color for each one...". I did not see a button bar appear at the time of checking "TextColors". (And tried unchecking and rechecking).

However, it works fine with "RichView" instead of the "RichEdit" choice, a button bar appears and each button can be identified with one color. So it may have to do with the difference in mode. I'll read up a bit more.

Neil How do you import from Evernote. I set up sync, got permissions, then told it to sync everything. Nothing at all appeared in my rightnote notebook. There;s a subfolder now called Evernote with a 1MB db3 file.

My account shows 52/52 synced notebooks in the integratoin settings. So where are they? How do I get them in my rightnote file?

I managed to get one small one to show in a new page called Sync Inbox. Not even sure how I did that, but where are the rest?

Dexter Bell Hi Rael,

"If your v2 license is less than 12 months old, then you will be able to upgrade to "v3 for free, however the license will stop working after the 12 months are up."

Could expand on that please? It is a concern that licenses can stop working at some time for a program that has the potential to contain so much data.
Two related questions.
1) Does the program call home for any reason after the license has been validated?
2) Who handles license validation i.e., is it handled on your own servers or by someone else?

Looks like a great program but I always hesitate with any program that might play a significant role in my digital life where I might not be able to use it someday due to activation issues.

Thanks

Rael Bauer Hi Neil, thanks for your question. You should see the synced notebooks in that Evernote folder. Do you not see any?

A separate RightNote notebook is created for every Evernote notebook, and you open one at a time from the menu under the "cloud" icon on the main toolbar.

The Sync inbox page is created automatically. Please take a look at the second video on this page: http://bauerapps.com/evernote-tree/ as it is likely to fill in some gaps for you.

No need to fear using up your monthly quota. That is only for uploading new notes to Evernote. Downloading notes does not use up your quota at all. However, Evernote has placed a limit on how many notes can be downloaded per hour for 3rd party integrations. So unfortunately, you may need to wait for this time delay until you can import all your notes. The help file has a topic called "Evernote sync rate limits" which provides more information.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Steven Avery Hi,

Rael, Dextor is right. An upgrade is not an upgrade if it is going to bomb out after awhile. It becomes a ransomgrade. And adds the risk that if something happened to Rightnote the data could be lost, if v. 2 does not recognize the data of v. 3.

Now, I am a very happy light user on version 2. (I have to check whether I want to upgrade or buy 3.) The software is very fine, and I looked at a number of note programs.

However, please correct the representation above. Don't call something an upgrade when it is temporary and can create problems. It is a trial, and not a good method for a trial if version 2 does not recognize version 3 data. (You would want to do the trial on dummy data.)

We are very sensitive about this kind of thing.

Thanks!

Rael Bauer Hi Dexter,

Please note the license you obtain will work indefinitely for the current version of RightNote and all minor version updates i.e. all v3.x.x. The "12 month" stipulation applies to using a v2 license for v3. That will only work for 12 months from when you bought the v2 license.

The program does not "call home" to validate the license. i.e. you do not need an internet connection for that. The license key itself contains information about when it was bought and for which RightNote version.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Steven Avery Hi,

Here is a thought. We understand that you cannot give a big Bits discount on upgrades. It is almost a better idea to buy 3 and give my license to 2 to a friend. (Is that doable. I don't think you have any free earlier licenses. This is not a criticism, btw, your business model is generally excellent.)

This is a suggestion for you and many. Work out a 25% discount on upgrades at the same time you do the bits. Let's assume your 2-3 upgrade is $30 (is that right) even a $5 to 7.50 discount would make us all part of the Bits party.

*** Just an idea to consider. ***

Good will, an encouragement to follow Bits, and encouragement to do the upgrade, and early. Granted, it means more work for you in setting up the store for the day, since you have to do some sort of license check somewhere along the line.

I hope my reply to Dextor clarifies things for you as well. I am very aware of such issues and believe our license policy will take good care of you.

Currently the database format for v2 and v3 is the same, so you can try out v3 at no risk and go back to v2 if desired. If there is a database change the readme will warn you about that.

Neil Generally liking the tool, but one annoyance is that the editor does not recognize URLs as most editors do.

In fact, if I want to write notes about some webpages, without importing them, I can drag and drop to a rich text note (but not create a new note via drop). But the URL is just plain text. To convert it to a URL, I press Ctrl-K. Now it offers to link it, but unlike most editors, it doesn't offer the text as the URL field, only the text field. And of course, since I dropped the URL to the note from Chrome, the URL isn't on the clipboard (and the text field in the dialog isn't selectable for copy).

I recommend at least checking on Ctrl-K if the text is a URL and putting that in the field, if not just automatically recognizing a URL in the note and linking it automatically.

Rich OBrien RightNote opens automatically when I start Windows on my computer. Because I use it all day every day. Better than a word processor, RightNote helps you to write and organize your documents, notes and records so you can more easily find what you've worked on. You can copy and paste any text or formatted text and pictures into RightNote including web pages. And you can also save web pages directly into RightNote. RightNote was great when Bits Du Jour brought it to my attention in 2012. And Rael Bauer keeps making RightNote better with frequent updates. He is open to your requests. So if you have ideas that would make RightNote better, let him know.

I've enabled multiple windows but I can't seem to copy or move notes from the imported Rightnote files to my "main" note file.

1. when I copy and paste from another application, it always shows the Source (where it came from and the time/date) at the bottom of the paste.

This is totally unneeded and annoying for me. How do I get rid of it??

2. Is there way I can view notes that are synced to Evernote on my iPad?

(My folders are Synced into my Dropbox account so I can access them on my ipad.)

Rael Bauer Hi Tony:

1) Under Tools-Clipper Options, for Bookmark Template, select the "blank" option. That should solve your problem. Also if you paste as plain text (Ctrl+Shift+P), that will bypass the clipper template system.

2) Currently this is not possible.

Yes possibly, I do have some thoughts on this, although nothing definite so far. You can always use one of the freely available PDF printers, and print to that.

John H Can Right Note print out its whole contents in one single coherent and formatted document? I am looking at Scrivener which has a tree structure for creating and arranging a document and then prints it out as a formatted PDF or ePub book. I purchased RN the last time around on BDJ but was too late to incorporate into my current research project which is a mess of hand written notes and various different text and spreadsheet documents.

Scrivener is designed for writing and printing books and not a replacement for all the functionality of Right Note but would be great if I could get RN to create and print out a large book.

Thanks

Dexter Bell Hi Rael
"The program does not "call home" to validate the license"

Thanks for the clarification. The confusion was from the 'fine print' of the listing where it says: "Email license activation is required without a hardware footprint".

Normally when I see 'license activation', no matter what is in front or bedhind it, I immediately think of needing to validate the license against a server somewhere before installation - what is kind of what is implied by the 'what's this' note to right of the note in the fine print.

Purchase yesterday and first look looks good.

Watcher1924 Hi. Thanks for the offer. I use the portable freeware version 3.0.5.2. I have used a couple of older versions, too. With this one every time I run the program these two windows open:

"Important: License Agreement"
"Important: Readme"

What have I done wrong?

You wrote:
"...
note creation and modified dates are stored in the application. You can view the creation date in the header panel.(Right click header panel for options)."

Where can we see the modification dates?

Also, is there a way to see the full path of the notes? In the history we can see only the beginning and the ending and this can be very very confusing if you have many notes whose names start with "New Note".

Mary Wilson Currently, I have been trying this program and like it a lot as it is easy to use. Found out it also easy to transfer web pages from IE/Chriome. Unfortunatly, I have been using MyInfo and Surfulater up to this time and have a lot of data between the two programs. If I am to get this, I need to be able to transfer the data from one program to another. Does anyone know if I can easily transfer all of the data from these programs to this program? I am also concerned with with some information I am reading about upgrade time. Does this mean that if I purchase version 3 today and within the first year or even tomorrow you upgrade to Version 4, my version 4 will only work for a year and than stop working and I will have to either go back to version 3 or pay for another version 4?

Rael Bauer RightNote license policy CLARIFICATION:

Hi people, I re-read a post that I had made close to the top of the messages regarding our license policy, and realised that the way I had said it is likely to cause confusion and misunderstanding (as people are still asking questions...).

So let me clarify: A license will never stop working. The license details only refer to how long you can receive free updates.

Within the same major version, all updates are always free. So for v3.0 - v3.9 (which is likely to be at least a year if not longer) all updates are free.

If someone buys v3.9 a month before v4.0 comes out, then even though it is a new major version, they will still receive free updates for 12 months. However, after 12 months, they will no longer receive free updates for v4. They will have to stick with the last update version they were entitled to, or upgrade.

I hope that clarifies!

Rael Bauer Hi Watcher:

1) It sounds like the folder you've installed to does not have the neccesary permission to delete files. You should see a file called ".read". If you delete that, then you won't see the readme again.

2) So far you can't see the modification dates.

3) No.Typically note names are different and it is usually clear to know which note is referred to.

Rael Bauer Hi Mary,

Unfortunately we do not have a specific import feature for those programs at this time. However, if you can export your notes to rtf/html then you can import them into RightNote. If the tree structure is maintained in the export, then RightNote will also be able to import the files and maintain the tree structure.

Please see my post after yours which should clarify the license issue for you.

fizo Regarding update licence: please developer then keep updating the old version instead of stopping any development when a new major version comes out. I am one of the users that has bought a pro version and within 6 months version 3 came out and no new updates for my version. Consider that browsers and Evernote get updated very regularly and affect the clipping and EN integration, I have noticed RN ver2 hanging more regularly when clipping large webpages. Forking out 30 dollars every X years where X is determined by the developer to update to the latest version is too much and too uncertain. Drop the upgrade price and focus on enlarging the user base or consider an annual license fee (such as EN premium has) then it is clearer upfront what using the software really costs.

Rael Bauer fizo: I believe our upgrade policy is quite generous compared to other products on the market. I don't quite understand why you feel $50 per year is better than $30 every 2 years (for example the time between v2 and v3).

As mentioned before, your v2 license entitles you to free upgrades for 12 months, which from the sounds of it will include a number of v3 updates.

Scott Youngman @ fizo: You wrote:

v3 is in fact the update to v2, so development was not "stopped." You can continue to receive those updates for 12 months after purchase, including any new major version during that period. Then you can continue to use the last update in your validity period forever, without paying anything more. And _all_ updates are free within a major version, even after 12 months (that was about two years for the lifetime of v2). Personally, I think that is much better than a subscription model.

When I use Alt+e only the "Content" is toggled. I managed to do it with the arrow keys but it's not practical; you have to first use Tab a couple of times plus it gets the focus like it was in a totally different spot than it is.

fizo I have a version 2 Pro license and I had tried version 3 only on a test database. I had not upgraded my working database to version 3 because I was under the impression that the program in version 3 would stop working after 12 months from purchase of the version 2 license. The wording 'stop working' was also used by Rael (the developer) in his earlier response in this discussion thread. Now if I understand correctly it is only further updates that will 'stop working', the last version 3.x in my validity period will work indefinitely. Please confirm (my RN database is critical to me and I don't want it messed up by upgrading/downgrading). And please find a better way to explain or simplify the update/upgrade policy. Thanks for a great note manager, it is the best I have found.

Scott Youngman @ fizo: I agree that "stop working" is confusing, and for a long time my own understanding of the upgrade policy was the same as yours (e.g. that it would revert to v2 at the end of 12 months after purchase). It would be helpful if Rael could confirm here that only the update privileges stop after 12 months, while the last update in the validity period can be used indefinitely.

Rael Bauer @Mappi: If you do a batch import using File-Import the program will use settings defined under Tools-Options-Main-Import. See the setting for binary files.

For best control you should import manually or drag-drop into the tree.

I have not tried big files. There is no specific limit on the file size, however performance will be affected if the files are big. RN is intended to be an information manager where typically one might want to attach pdf or doc files of moderate size.

Watcher1924 @Rael Bauer, just a comment:
IMHO the standard and pro editions should have the option of showing the notes' paths (both in the History tab and elsewhere). I don't think only few users make a lot of quick new notes without titles and have a big amount of them with the name starting with "New Note". Plus there are titles that a user usually uses (yes, I know) in many folder-notes and sub-folder-notes e.g. "links", "resources", "comments", "contact info" etc. As it is now, the user has to check many of the results with the similar or *** identical *** names because he is searching - for example - for the "links" sub-folder-note and the program presents the ones for RightNote, Internet Explorer, Revo Uninstaller and for all the programs you have saved links for (and it's not like it's practical to instead search using the program's name and then scroll down to "links", because maybe you always put it close to the end or you don't have a specific spot for it or you want to find the "links" of three or five programs and you don't want to have to type the names of all of them and go through five different sets of results).

Don't tell me that - when you use RithNote as a plain user - you never face the temptation of using the privilege of knowing where to find the already synthesized path string of a note. ;)

Rich OBrien RightNote is like having a PIM - Personal Information Manager, Word Processor and much more all in one. The search function hidden in an area over on the right does lightning fast searches so you can instantly find anything you've collected into RightNote. Besides being constantly improved to work with EverNote, the most fantastic thing about RightNote for me is its Clipper function. I was spending 15 minutes to half an hour each to create little tables containing a small picture of a website I visited, the website address, the website name and a note about each website. Then BitsDuJour brought RightNote to my attention. Now I see a website, press a key and instantly a table is created with a good sized picture of the website, the website address, name and space for me to either write a note or copy text from the website and paste it in the table's note area. I wish I could show you pictures. If you're doing research on the Internet and RightNote's Clipper sounds interesting, ask Rael Bauer for the free copy of the RichView Editor needed to easily make the tables used by RightNote's Clipper. With the RichView Editor, you can design the tables exactly how you want them, place the website address and site name where you want, make the text the size, color and type face you want, and make the screenshots the exact size and proportions you want. Then press a button and instantly everything but the note area is filled in for you automatically. I'm not a programmer but it was easy to figure out how to get exactly what I was looking for using the free RichView Editor. One last thing. Some software I've relied on for years is updated only once a year or less often. Improvements and fixes aren't done fast enough. RightNote is actively updated almost monthly. Over the last 30 years, a lot of important software - WordStar, WordPerfect, Partition Magic, PC Tools, Harvard Graphics - has been abandoned by the original developers. It is wonderful to use software produced by people who love software and constantly make it better.

Rich OBrien RightNote's Clipper arrives with a default table called a template. I wanted to customize it. The little picture of the website was too small. I asked if there was a way to change the table to make it more what I wanted. Rael Bauer gave me the free RichView Editor.
You'll see there is some simple code you can place in your table to tell Clipper where to automatically put the website picture, the date and time, the name you give your template, the website address, and the website name. It's really easy or I couldn't do it. I've probably made 20 different tables trying to figure out the best size and arrangement. You'll be able to name your table templates and choose which one to use from the Clipper Options list on the Tools Menu.
Across the top of each of my tables I put the date and time and the name of the template. My naming scheme reminds me of how large the picture is, whether it is on the right or on the left and the over all size of the table. The table templates are in a file ending in .rfv.
10 March 2015 11:01 AM ? RightNote Pro Bookmark with Thumbnail ? RNBookmark R400x300-800R.rfv - RichViewEditor.exe
I find it hard to remember the location of the templates so at the top of all my templates in small type on a second line I now print the location:
RightNote Templates are in .rvf files located in "C:\Users\...\My Documents\My RightNote\SystemTemplates"
If I could show you pictures, it would make it a lot easier.
If you're doing research on the Internet, visiting a lot of websites, RightNote with its Clipper function could become invaluable.

Cary Adams Having much difficulty with Excel file import. Import changes my formulas and then tells me that I have syntax problems. For example, the original XLS cell is:

=IF($C10>D$6,0,D$6-$C10)

After import it is:

=IF($C10>D$6";0;D$6-$C10)"

If I remove the " and change ; to , (what the original Excel file had) the syntax error goes away and the cell functions.

I've tried drag and drop, and import with the same result on multiple files. I also tried copy/paste, but none of the formulas or formatting pasted, only the values.

I'd really like to start using RightNote, but manually editing each cell is beyond reasonable. Also... Find/Replace doesn't seem to work within the files, so I can't globally swap semi-colons for commas.

How do I make this work?

Scott Youngman I agree with other commenters that RN is an excellent note-taking program -- better than roughly a dozen others I have tried over the years. I consider it one of my essential programs, and use it many times every day for both work and personal projects. One of its greatest benefits is easily clipping web pages to become editable notes (a different feature than the bookmarks mentioned above by Rich OBrien). That alone is worth the price of the program, and has saved me many hours of manual copying and pasting.

My only disappointment with RN is a number of small but awkward traits which I think would be easy enough for Rael to improve. For example:

- Ctrl+Backspace deletes the previous word (this is expected) but strangely, Ctrl+Del deletes only a single character (it should delete the entire next word).

- Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down.arrow selects text to the previous/next paragraph (this is expected) but strangely, Ctrl+Up/Down.arrow scrolls the page (it should move the cursor to the previous/next paragraph).

- In the find & replace dialog, the "Replace with" field displays the text used in the previous operation, but "Find what" does not (it is always blank).

Quirks such as those (and in other cases, small bugs) make RN feel somewhat rough, and unfortunately Rael has not addressed them months after being notified of them.

RightNote also includes its own screen capture alternative to Snagit. While Snagit is slow to show up, RightNote's screen picture taker is instantaneous. For years when I wanted a screenshot of Snagit or the Snagit Editor, there has been no way to do it. RightNote provides the way.

My number one wish for RightNote is to be able to edit the titles above each note and have those changes linked to the titles in the note list on the left.

Drive Stark Naked Would it be possible to design this software so that you would add a reminder feature. Something that would appear on the screen reminding you of a task due, related to one of your notes and bring you to that note.

Wearsie Jackson This software is great! Use it every day! I purchased about a month ago when it was only 25% here at BDJ for 45 bucks but it was still well worth it.

Amit Hello,

I have liked rightnote after using it for quite long and want to buy the pro version, but there are some features that are very desired in the software (rightnote pro). Please incorporate these - 1. Gradients schemes for backgrounds - that for background of notes, gradient schemes can also be used. I am also using kingsoft wps office (and free writer kingsoft), and their gradient schemes (many present) are just brilliant. The notes in rightnote, if can have gradient schemes, even if some like those many present in wps writer, can add really good looks to all the notes.

2. Font styles and effects - The font styles present in wps kingsoft writer (best msoffice alternative), make text writing a pleasure, please look into the software trial (WPS OFFICE - ), and if you dont want to download the trial, please see those all present in the free writer software of kingsoft download from here - ( http://www.kingsoftstore....-free.html ) (software - Kingsoft Writer Free 2013 v9.1.0.4550). In that you can see for the menu item -> Format -> background -> gradient (and then presets). it also has other options too there.
And for font styles, there is the menu item Format -> font and you can see effects as engrave, shadow, emboss, outlline. These styles make the written text really look apart. I use rightnote, but keep using and switching to kingsoft application for these 2 features.

Please take these 2 requests to be added really into rightnote pro, for that will make the software more beautiful and pleasure to work with, for many users like me that like beautiful texts. I am buying the pro version here, hoping to see these requests confirmed in pro soon. Thanks a lot.

Rael Bauer @_*_: Download the RichViewEditor from here:
http://bauerapps.com/file...Editor.zip
Unzip and run. Then open one of the clipper bookmark templates. They can be found under: Libraries\Documents\My RightNote\SystemTemplates.

You can edit/modify the template to your liking - i.e. change font attributes, or change picture dimensions or change the table (i.e. template) layout, as long as it keeps the fields you see there in curly brackets. I recommend you save it as a different filename. You can select the template from the clipper options (Tools->Clipper Options->Bookmark Template)

As mentioned in the help file, you create a bookmark by being in the browser window and pressing Ctrl+Shift+F7. This will save a bookmark into the current note in RightNote.

I hope that helps you. If you have further questions please contact support.

Susanne Bought this a couple of years ago and can state categorically it's the hands-down best organizer available, period. I have used a program called My Notes Keeper (which is also superb) for many years, but when the developer appeared to have fallen off the face of the earth (although, to be fair, the program is once again being regularly updated), I got RightNote and now use both. Seriously -- and I am *not* associated with the Bauer team in any way -- don't even waste your money on anything else because they won't come close. And their customer service is just as good as the program itself.

Toni McConnel "All your notes are stored in a hierarchical tree outline". "The Evernote note type takes RightNote to the next level, and allows you to store selected notes in the cloud and access them from any mobile device, browser or desktop using the Evernote service." Does this mean that I will be able to see my notes in Evernote online in the hierarchal structure that Evernote otherwise does not support? And what does "selected notes" mean? Only certain types of notes, determined by RightNote, can be stored in cloud, or does it just mean notes that I select?

May 20 2015 at 9:50am Copy Link

0

Rael Bauer @Toni: To your first question: No. You will not suddenly have hierarchical notes in Evernote. The hierarchical info is only stored and visible in RightNote.

That being said, if you take a look at the "Insert->Table of Contents" action, you can create a note that will represent the tree outline, and then sync that note to Evernote. (See the vimeo video on the website in the Evernote section)

RightNote has different types of notes: Richview, Source code, webpage and Evernote note type. What selected means is that only Evernote note types are synced with Evernote, not the other types.

Hope that clarifies.

MojoMan RN is a brilliant, effective swiss army knife of kit. I love it.... it is probably the single best productivity, data organization, memory / brain add-on that I have ever used in thirty odd years of computing. It is what One-Note promised without all the quirkiness and much greater usability. The best PIM out there and I've bought, demoed or trialed about everything.

Don't waste your time...just grab this deal. Go Pro... the extra features add so much you'll regret not spending the extra bucks.

Rael Bauer @Bill: Yes, you should use something like Dropbox for this purpose (I use Dropbox for this myself).

Be sure to have some backup in place because on rare occasion Dropbox can chew on a file. Also, when using Dropbox you should not use the same file on 2 computers at the same time, and be sure the file has updated from Dropbox (e.g from station 1) before using it on station 2. (Sometimes there is a delay before Dropbox updates..)

Bill Blackledge Rael, thanks - duplicate use of files is a problem we have with Dropbox. Having said that, I'm impressed with the Rightnote's Export Web book function - I could see us publishing notes to an html site for regular reference.
In case it helps anyone else, I have just found that I can export parts of a tree from UltraRecall (as RTF with folder structure) and these are readily imported as notes, with the folder structure determining the tree. And RightNote can export in the same format, so it is good to know it isn't a data dead-end :)

Tony Lee I purchased this nearly a year ago and will vouch for its usefulness.

It is something I use every day now and often the first thing I open after browsers after I boot up every morning.

The system is very flexible allowing you to reorganize your notes with ease if need be.

Another feature I like is how well it works across computers (through Dropbox).

Support works well to as they answered some questions I had when I first purchased it.

Also, when I found something I did not like and suggested a change, that change was incorporated in the next update!

Bill Blackledge One more thing that might interest people: I noticed Scrapbook import as an option (Scrapbook is a Firefox add-on which stores web pages for off-line viewing). As Firefox has helpfully removed my Scrapbook menu during one of its many updates, I tried importing my Scrapbook folder into RightNote, which it did without a hitch. So I now have the potential of RightNote gathering and organising notes / web pages etc previously stored in TreePad, UltraRecall and Scrapbook. And in future I will be storing web pages in RightNote. Order placed!

Ennovy The latest version I use is 2.9, I never upgraded.
I tested it on my new PC with Windows 10 and it seems to work just fine.
I always used the so called portable version and I wanted to test portability to.
So I worked some time with RN in a sandbox and later I checked what changes RN has made in the Windows registry and I am amazed about how many RN entries I found.
So I wonder why you promote RN to be portable software?
Is this also the case in version 3?
Portability is very important to me and this means that all settings are written to the application folder and nowhere else.

Jan 25 2016 at 2:25am Copy Link

Rael Bauer @Ennovy: RightNote needs to store some license information in the registry in order to enforce our license requirements.

RN also makes some temporary use of the registry while it is running, and then deletes these entries when the program is closed.

The term "Portable" is used in the practical sense: All settings are stored in the application folder where ever that may be, and any use of the registry does not interfere with another installation of the program on that computer.

This behaviour is still the same in the current version.

Ennovy @Rael: I am sorry but I have to disagree. I found perhaps more then 200 toolbar settings in the registry after closing RN. Those settings where not deleted from the registry.

Rich OBrien RightNote Pro is superb. Its Clipper function grabs thumnail pictures of websites, along with the website name and address and collects everything into a table that it lets you design with the RichView Editor that you can get FREE from http://bauerapps.com/file...Editor.zip . No other program does anything like it.. I have used RightNote Pro constantly since June of 2013. It just keeps getting better. I've gotten so much value for the money I paid that it is only reasonable that I pay for the release of version 4 later this year. RightNote adds to and works with EverNote, RightNote is already so perfect that my wish list for improvements is very short. I wish RightNote would always keep its open icon on the Taskbar instead of sometimes hiding its icon. RightNote should use standard Windows .ico icons in addition to bmp, png and gif. More importantly, I'm looking forward to being able to edit the titles in its tree by editing the title at the top of each document the way I now can in MyInfo.

Rael Bauer Thanks people for the comments. Much appreciated.

@David: Although being similar in purpose and general function, upon closer inspection they do have different feature sets. No question OneNone is a powerful application, but here is a short list of some features found in RightNote that are not in OneNote:
- Evernote integration :)
- Webpage capture. (last time I looked OneNote saves the entire page as an image... that was a shocker for me, when I saw that...)
- Webpage bookmarks,
- Spreadsheet note, source code note.
- More to come...

With regards to sync, you can sync databases across computers using a file sync service like Dropbox. No pen annotation.

The general layout of the program is the same/similar as in OneNote with notebooks and tabs. RightNote's tree structure can handle larger amount of data and sublevels.

In version 4.0, one more feature I'm hoping for is a WYSIWYG Fonts List which shows each font as it actually appears.

Shawn Murdock This has been a great purchase. I use it all the time for notes and for data. Its a nice mix of notes app and database features.
I do have a problem with version 3.5. All of my notes files, created with 3.4.1, will not display any embedded pictures. I tried to open all of my various notes files and no pictures; its like they never existed. I downloaded a clean version of 3.5 and same results. I found an old 3.4.1 installer and reinstalled, then open one of the backup note files and the pictures displayed again.

RichV Rael, thanks for the answers. As for a form template, an example is a structured form (redundant, I realize!) that you need to use multiple times - say for a job function.

Is there a full manual for the product? I'm asking because I'm wondering if the Export to Webbook function can be used on a smaller level than the entire notebook. As an example (and please let me know if I can't do this), I work with clients in a health care context and need to provide them with documents (e.g. herbs, aroma and diet to include and avoid). I'm wondering if I can import an RTF format and export it in this way so they can carry it around on their mobile devices.

If there's a manual available I can stop bugging you with these questions and just dive in. (thanks)

Dierk Almost missed that this offer for RightNote was available - and see that it is nearly over.

Still - in the FWIW department at this late hour - wanted to add my voice to those who have already praised this program: Have been running RightNote Pro since November 2012, and it is one of a handful of programs I would consider "Essential."

Not "Perfect" - & not without room for Possible Improvement (would dearly love to see an Android version....) - but still the Absolute Best General Information Manager that I am aware of.

If you stumble across this offer while it is still live, and are trying to decide whether or not to click on "Buy," my advice would be to go for it.

Sebastian Guzek I am about to make the jump and purchase this great app. Just wondering about the following:
1) Is there a global hotkey to create new notes while having it minimized?
2) Any plans on enabling undocking of individual notes for better multitasking (similar to Milenix MyInfo)? If not, maybe ability to edit numerous notes side by side just like in TreeProjects?
3) How can I flag (change urgency level)? Is the only option right now to use Tags? Would be nice to have an alternative tree view that only shows the urgent notes.
4) If I edit attached Outlook .MSG file by adding graphics to it, does the attachment get updated and doesn't lose the changes? I have seen this issue with the new attachment feature in CintaNotes.
5) Any plans on adding some powerful internal file viewer like Oracle's OutsideIn to be able to preview attached files and see search keywords inside?
6) If working between multiple notes, how can I quickly switch between them without having to navigate through the entire tree again? Again, taking TreeProjects as an example, I can lock each note as a separate tab. Does RightNote provide something similar?

Dierk Oops: Blindly repeated "30 day money back" from another post, when that is not the case! OTOH, there is a FREE Version (that drops some features but still gives a nice "look and feel" opportunity).
Also (I THINK - want to be cautious, having already misspoken!!), you can Download & Evaluate the Pro Version (for 30 days?) before it reverts to the Free version feature set.

The "Standard" Version adds some nice features that most users will want (like Spell Check!), but the real power kicks in with the Professional Version: the Multiple Database search is remarkably fast, and once you have multiple RN files the Side By Side view becomes an important feature.

As with any Information Manager - especially free form ones - personal preferences will determine usage. Currently have over a dozen RN database files, and while the Side By Side view has been helpful in (Re)Organization, the Multi NB Search has been a tremendous aid in finding less-than-optimally-organized data.

["Why so many different RN files?"]
Put it down to "Personal Preference!" Probably 1/2 dozen of them are "active" (that is, new information is added on a regular basis), while the balance are "static" - that is, no longer being added to, but still useful for reference.
Example: One of the Static RN Files contains the data Exported from PhatNotes - my previous "PIM" of choice. PhatNotes' great advantage was offering both a Windows AND a Windows Mobile version, with robust LOCAL sync, and nearly identical feature sets. Alas, PhatNotes never made the transition to Android.

Of course RightNote also lacks an Android version. But - as much as I LOVED PhatNotes - the RN desktop app is much more powerful than the PhatNotes desktop version (and PhatNotes was pretty darn good), and I have NOT found a "great" Android note taker that provided seamless / easy data sync with a desktop counterpart.

(Evernote integration may be useful to Evernote users - but I gave up on Evernote after it LOST substantial chunks of data. Something that has not happened with RightNote!)

My current ANDROID / DESKTOP approach is multi-pronged:
1) eWallet for Important Discrete Data (essentially anything that can be / should be stored in a Forms-oriented Database: think passwords; account information; warranty information; user log-in info....). Multiple databases, multiple formats, local sync option: an essential app. (Use LastPass, with its cloud based syncing, for NON-Critical web sites. The Really Important bits are kept in eWallet...)

2) Essential PIM: Android / Desktop PIM with local sync option, and ability to integrate Google Calendar entries. Strong on Calendar & Contacts management, weak on Notes (and VERY WEAK on Notes on Android version) - but still a good place to put Quick Notes / Reminders, knowing they will be carried over from device to device.

3) TextMaker Mobile: simply have not found a great Android notes app. TextMaker Mobile is the best of the Android "word processing" apps I found, so that is where most long-form notes are taken (devices are a Galaxy Note 2 and Note 4: the S-Pen stylus works great with the MessagEase keyboard for taking live notes. The Note 2 is currently in service as my "PDA" - have 3 batteries for it, & thus can use it "all day"!)

CamScanner and ezPDF (paid versions of each) also see frequent usage on the mobile device. For now, all the Android based notes are simply synced to the desktop as discrete files, and I rely upon a combination of Directory (Folder) structure AND Copernic Desktop Search (paid version) to locate specific data.

eWallet and EssentialPIM will remain in place - but an Android version of RightNote would certainly Simplify the taking, storage - and Usage - of long form notes!

Sebastian Guzek Sorry, also to add to my list of questions above, is Evernote the only way to sync RightNote with smartphones? Occasionally, I would like to send only certain reminders/notes to my android or iphone and avoid having to sync the entire database.
Lastly (I promise), if I place the portable version on DropBox or a similar online drive service, can I run it directly from there?

J Hello Rael,

As mentioned several times in earlier comments, the RightNote (RN) tool tray icon has problems.

When RN is set to start at Windows Startup, RN does 'partially' start but does not show its icon in the tool tray. It is neither shown nor hidden.

The only way to show the tool tray icon is to re-start RN, get the 'multiple instance' warning and then exit out of RN by clicking on File|Exit. Restarting RN then properly shows its icon in the tool tray.

Manually starting RN, so far, seems to work properly with the icon showing in the tool tray.

I hope this bug can be fixed.

Thank you.

Rael Bauer @Sebastian: 1) Actually not. There is a hotkey to create a clip while the application is minimized. See Options->Global hotkeys
2) Yes, something along those lines. No time frame at this point.
3) Yes, tags would be good for that. There is also the recently added reminder feature. You can just set a reminder without any date. That sounds like a good request: i.e to filter tree by tags.
4) Hmmm, would have to check that out myself.
5) Yes I would like to add some internal viewer, for some standard file types like pdf. Not sure which others. Oracle's OutsideIn is extermely expensive.
6) You would use the note history tab for this. (on the resource panel). This is also something I would like to add more specific handling for.
7) The Evernote sync is actually only syncing Evernote type notes - not the entire database. In your case you may consider exporting a note to dropbook for this purpose.
8) Interesting question. I haven't tried that myself. It should work. Personally, I have the application outside of Dropbox, and only some files are stored in Dropbox.

tech club Hello, a question to the developer.
Is there any way to move a paragraph up and down with a key combination?Something similar to Word when using Shift + Alt + Up or Down Arrow key. In this case there is no need to pre-select a complete paragraph, it will move the complete section wherever the cursor was placed, and also moving or displacing the surrounding paragraphs accordingly. This is very different, to what it is currently possible, by selecting a chunk of text and dragging to a new destination with the mouse.

here is an example video of what Im talking about.

if not currently possible, is this something planned for v4?

franp User Hi developer,

I have been a happy user since a decade or so and I congrate you for this wonderfujll software that I have been using several times a day since then.
It is one of the best investments I ever made in softwares on a use/price ratio.

I have some questions regarding verison 4 :
- the protection system, with the ability to protect at the note level (that is protecting some notes but not others) is key to the product usability. Will this system be kept in version 4 ?
- the portability (zip package) is also key to the value of RightNote. Will this be kept in version 4 as well ?
- last, do you plan to improve the Spreadsheet notes type, which is the weakest of them all regarding features and usability ? It is really lacking compared even to low level spreadsheet softwares. I understand this is not a replacement for libreOffice spreadsheet but in its current shape it is hardly usable.

Pavi Johnson Hi, a few quick questions as well. I really like the source code approach. Files can be linked to, and then edited inside Rightnote - this makes its utility as a source code manager very strong.

Questions though:
1) Can the same be done for MS Word file? Now I can't seem to get them to even display inside Rightnote. Can they display and be edited inline?
2) PDFs. Can they be displayed inline? I have tried 2 pdf viewers without success.

Best, /Pavi

Rael Bauer @SoftCollector: OneNote is certainly a useful note taking program. RightNote is a specialised note taking program, and provides extra features for the serious/power note taker. For example, OneNote only allows three levels of tree notes. RightNote allows unlimited levels and also includes power features like tree hoisting and folder tree outline. With regard to webpage capture, OneNote takes a simple screenshot of the page. RightNote captures the actual webpage with text included so you could copy/paste that information in the future. (Something you cannot do with OneNote). I find the RN bookmark feature really useful and as far as I am aware OneNote has no equivalent. Again it really depends on your needs.

With regard to data, you can export your RN notes to common file formats such as rtf, MS Word, MS Excel. Some see it as an advantage to be the master of your own data as apposed to storing your data in the cloud, where other bodies may have access to it.

RD User Into our 4th year using RightNote (Professional), and it is an "Essential" tool. Am not aware of a better Information Database program - certainly not at this price level.
Still long for a Native Android App - not an Evernote fan - but at least RN's Webbook support makes reasonably static information available on a mobile device, plus RN offers a robust "Export Notes" function. Hopefully RN will be around "Forever," but having had previous Text-Based Databases / PIMs disappear from the marketplace can attest to the value of having good Export capabilities.

- Most Recent Example: PhatNotes. It never made the jump to Android, and the desktop version just faded away. But all of our PhatNotes data currently exists within a dedicated RN database - and is accessible via RN's "Multi-Notebook Search" function.

Recommendation: Get RightNote Pro, and start out with multiple databases. You'll thank me later - even though RN provides assistance in transferring information between Notebooks, good initial organization helps.
IF NOTHING ELSE: download the Free version of RN & spend a few minutes looking through the "New User Guide" - it is a RN database ("Notebook") that provides basic usage instructions & examples of various program features.

PS: A "User Group Forum" would be useful.....

Adolphe Be aware that this program (like many Windows applications, unfortunately), is not high DPI-aware. I had the free version sitting on my PC for a while, and was tempted to explore it once again because this offer was coming. Depending on your display and your settings, you might get : exceedingly small icons, tiny UI fonts difficult to read or partially cropped out, unreadable spreadsheet notes because line height does not accomodate text height, general ugliness and unpleasantness of UI, etc.

This, in my case, on a PC which is not "high DPI" by any stretch : a 24" destkop monitor with a 1920 x 1200 resolution. However, I have set Windows 7 to display at 150 % (because otherwise everything is way to small on the screen), and it's this perfectly standard option on Windows which breaks Right Notes' UI -- and many others'.

This is a known, deplorable situation which has been going on for years. More information here :

You can export out to MS Word as well, so no info lost.

RS Rael: I understand that you don't want to misrepresent, but I don't quite understand why you won't share with us the new features and upgraded functionality of v4 if it is to be released within a few weeks, as you indicated. While you might decide to pull the plug on a feature that isn't working as it should, the vast majority of work has to be done so you must know what will be included (unless the v4 release itself is in question).

Also, I think it's unfair to current license holders not to know what the upgrade price will be when you are offering free upgrades to new users as part of the purchase price of the current version. As a result, you deprive us of the ability to take advantage of this BDJ if the upgrade price is higher. I think this is a disservice to your loyal customers. (And, as a general rule, it seems to me that the price of upgrades should either remain the same or be reduced, absent a significant reason to the contrary.)

Regarding both matters, I urge you to reconsider.

Nowadays I would suggest you consider using a file sharing service like Dropbox etc. for this purpose. In either case - yes - it is important that usage is serialized between the different users.

tech club Hi,
is there a place were deleted notes are stored, like a recycle bin, o a way to undelete notes?

Also a suggestion, hopefully a copy/paste format (or format painter as some called it) button could be added to the toolbar, I know there is a control+ f7 / f8 (copy / paste style), but I personally prefer to push a button than taking both hands off the keyboard to do a key combination. MS Word keeps the last format copied until pressing ESC, so you can reuse it, in multiple places without having to copy the format each time in between. This method is also faster, than creating a new style.

thanks

Rael Bauer @RS: I'm sorry. I understand users are curious to know what features are being worked on, however, I don't believe this is the correct place to get into a discussion about future or upcoming features. Since we are selling our software here, it should be clear that we are selling what already exists and not some future feature or features.

When we say "v4 will be a free upgrade to anyone who purchases a license today", this is not a special dispensation to people who purchase today. It is simply highlighting our standard upgrade policy which includes free updates for 12 months, including major version upgrades, which is something that few, if any, other vendors offer. Also, we want to indicate that RN is still under development and we have plans for future features. However, as mentioned, I do not want to get into a discussion of actual specifics.

Bauerapps - Feb 2 2017 at 3:09pm Copy Link

FinanceGuy @Rael The 12 month free update policy is different from what you state on your website, which is: "Registered users receive free minor version upgrades (i.e. all updates to v3.x.x)". So my question is: Would a license purchased today be valid for all future v4 versions?

Feb 2 2017 at 3:20pm Copy Link

0

Rael Bauer @Flo: You are quite correct. However, once a major version upgrade is involved then the 12 month rule applies. So a license purchased today will only be valid for 12 months and not all future v4 updates (this is stated on our website). Additionally, I can tell you that when v4 is released, we will be changing our update policy to include free updates for 12 months only and not all future v4 updates.

Steven Avery Rightnote is a fine program, no doubt. Rael, you don't really have a Vimoe/YouTube voice. (Neither do I, or most people.)

Also the videos, finding #2 on Evernote is tuff.Fortunately your documentation is good and is itself the first Rightnote Note. It told me where the Evernote foder is hidden. Windows 10 actually has that path as logical, so you might want to show the physical too.

Now, for my main point.

Evernote is the key question for those of us who like stuff like their Windows/iPad sync (even if Evernote thinks they have to go into other wonderful cosmic ventures). So your idea of synching is an excellent attempt of the best of both worlds, as is your selective notebook feature.Nice. The Evernote Sync is already a big part of its experience, 2 devices in Basic. Fortunately, your sync is not a device. So far, so good.

====

My first possible concern. Each Evernote Notebook opens up a full-blown Rightnote Window. In my case, I would usually like to see notebooks open up as a tab within a Rightnote instance (at least as an option). This is the type of natural use of tabs. If I try to open up 20 notebooks in one account, it will be far too unwieldy. with tabs it would be excellent.

Granted, people use "Notebooks" in Evernote in different ways. You are probably thinking in terms of very few, and all the breakdown occurring in notes. But we often have dozens. Tabs !

I really don't want to change my structure too much for the Rightnote possibility. However,looking at Rightnote again,I might rebuy (I have 2.6) and look to use in certain cases (e.g. personal Bible research, which is 100% Windows) even if I am undecided about the Evernote element.

In fact, I am pretty sure I will buy.

Note: I am not real happy about your twelve month upgrade policy. That, I think,is an error. People like to think in terms of version releases. You have a fairly loyal following. People are simply not going to upgrade from 4.2 to 4.7 (I know I am not) so you are simply adding a layer of confusion, with a bit of frustration. More pain, for very little gain. If you have to accelerate a bit new version releases, that would accomplish the same end, as long as some significant features are in fact added.

Steven

Feb 2 2017 at 5:45pm Copy Link

Steven Avery Along the same line, I figured a good test would be to take an existing note and see how it looks after a sync. So I tried to take the RightNote Help Guide and see if I could sync it into a blank notebook, or a notebook with a note RNUserGuide. (I set up a special new Evernote and it gots its folder in the right place on the c:/

I was not really able to do this. Do you have instructions as to how to sync a well-structured RightNote into Evernote. Granted, Evernote will lose the structure, but this is important in testing the sync.

Thanks!

RS Rael: Actually, most developers offer all minor updates (for the same version) as part of the purchase price, regardless of the timeframe. So, your current policy is actually more restrictive, except in cases where a new major version is released. However, you've now indicated that you will make it even more restrictive with the release of v4. I believe this is a mistake, and urge you to reconsider. I find it obnoxious when a developer charges for minor releases, which, more often than not, are focused on fixing bugs and refining existing functionality--it's an affront to loyal customers. As such, as a matter of principle, I will never pay for minor updates.

Of course, if the yet-to-be-determined upgrade cost is higher than this BDJ offer, then you are putting current license holders, who wait to purchase v4 until it is released, in the absence of any information about this major upgrade, at a disadvantage over new buyers. I think this is wrong, and I just don't understand it. Indeed, I've never heard of a software developer that doesn't offer at least the salient features and changes of a major version that is due to hit the market. Clearly, if v4 is to be released in a few weeks, as you indicated, then the coding of any significant feature or change has to be all but completed, and you are currently beta testing the release candidates. If you have plans for significant features that you haven't yet begun, as you suggest, then either v4 will not be available in the timeframe you referenced or these features will not be adequately tested.

Finally, your assertion that BDJ isn't the right place to inform users and potential users what new features your new version will offer is preposterous. Indeed, the IT-savvy crowd that frequents BDJ is precisely your target audience and one of your best marketing opportunities. Yet, for some reason, you continue to express a curious unwillingness to provide any information that is inexplicable to me, and makes me ponder whether there isn't more to the story. Indeed, if you truly embrace this logic, then you never would have informed us that a new release is imminent. Accordingly, I wonder if v4 will be released shortly, and if the new features are attractive enough to upgrade.

That being said, I'd be far more skeptical if you hadn't already proven yourself with the track record of previous releases--RN is a great tool. So it remains to be seen whether v4 meets this high standard. Please know that I'm a fan of your software, so I hope you'll take my comments constructively, as this is how they are intended.

Peter Gabriel I already have the pro version 3 and have just purchased pro version 4 via BDJ just now and updated the program.

I have started the program but it does not have the favorites toolbar as shown in the screenshot even though favorites is ticked in the toolbar settings.

How can I get this fixed please?

bvssunnydale Just wondering - I've never been able to find a product that allows me to tag a specific paragraph in a longer article (a now ancient - but much loved - app called askSam used to work but it's gone to app heaven). For example ArticleXYZ might be primarily about economics but it discusses gender, politics, and troll dolls. It would be nice if I could extract just the paragraphs tagged as 'troll dolls,' rather than (only) tagging the entire article. Even if I could insert regular - but maybe hidden - text it would serve that tagging function if the app could report on a tag search by listing specific paragraphs. Since I've never been able to find this kind of app, it's not critical that RN do it but I'm just wondering if RN has any abilities like this?

Dierk RightNote has become an Essential application for its ability to serve as a "Knowledge Database." Moved to the Pro version in Nov 2012, and with its ability to (Quickly!) search across multiple Notebooks, it is well worth the additional cost. (Pro adds other features as well, but the multi-notebook search is particularly Useful & Powerful.)

As with any complex application, RightNote users will benefit from at least a BIT of planning - but with useful tools to help transfer data (Notes) between Notebooks, re-organization is not difficult (although it could be Time Consuming if ignored long enough!).

Flexible Export options are also available, so data is not "locked" to a proprietary format should one decide to (or have to) move on. And the Webbook export option at least makes Data available on other devices.
(Not a fan of Evernote - and thus would still like to see an Android / Chrome version of RN; ideally with Local - as opposed to cloud based - Sync...).

Have used eWallet "forever" (multiple licenses, including Windows, WinMobile, and Android - and i THINK we used it with a Handspring PDA, but memory gets hazy that far back....), and replaced Pocket Informant with EssentialPIM several years ago (Windows & Android - Lifetime License).

Both of those applications are excellent for specific types of data, and are almost literally in "constant" use - plus have tried numerous other PIMs / Text Databases / Knowledge Databases over the years.

With all that, the best Personal Recommendation for RightNote is that we bought the Lifetime license in mid-2017 - and have seen 7 Updates (or "Fixes") since, which shows active development / improvement. Looking forward to the next one!

Rael Bauer @Frank: RightNote is quite different to ClipMate in function. RN is intended to help you store and organise bits of information for later reference. CM is a clipboard extender, designed to help you manage multiple pieces of information in the Windows clipboard, instead of just 1.

bvssunnydale Thanks Rael regarding the MyInfo tip [I'm a CRIMP'er [compulsive-reactive information management purchasing], having both InfoSelect and an earlier version of RightNote, among others]. My askSam database is 25K separate pages and well over 100K docs. Unfortunately the MyInfo plug-in is very limited (doesn't access the askSam database directly and imports only via exported askSam docs and imports without formatting) so currently there's really no practical solution. [The original creator of the askSam/MyInfo import has abandoned the project.]

MojoMan Similar to what Dierk posted, I too have tried many, many, many (TNC) apps for keeping a "database of everything" and I still have to use too many tools to accomplish everything. The closest application I have seen to what I would like would be similar to the Mac software Devonthink.

The closest I have come on the Windows side is OneNote, but it lacks one or two crucial functions. First is the ability to save a webpage and keep the formatting and links (like Evernote, Diigo, Nimbus and a few other progs) and also the ability to serve as a quasi document manager by allowing scanned input.

Is there any planned change to improve the Web Clipping / saving functionality to maintain formatting, links etc ? Or... to add scanning to RightNote ?

Other than those two items... the notebook paradigm is the about the best way to keep things organized imho... and why I keep searching for a "one-stop" solution for maintaining all of the things wants and needs to keep track of. Right Note is so very close to being that one solution.

Ela S. Bought the latest version some time ago.

The new clipping features are amazing: Copy text or pictures into RN, it automatically creates corresponding URL and date.

Merging pages (similar to CintaNotes) is one function I haven't found yet. A doodle function (included in TheJournal) would be another nice feature.

Otherwise, I just agree with Dierk and MojoMan. I am still moving between OneNote, MyInfo, TheJournal and Rightnote to find one day the best program out of those.

geo User @ Rael Bauer:
I have purchased back in Jan 2016 PRO version and I would like to download versions that my license will work with (during the 12 month upgrade period). I believe that would put me right at the end of v3, just before v4 came out.
I was having issues with web clipping and also w10 so I had to, even though I loved RightNote, give it up for other tools that would work for my situation (my work relied heavily on that capability).
At this point I would like to just experiment with a win 7 laptop that has a clean install and see if everything works well in that setup as it used. I understand that it could be a problem with the firefox version that upgraded to.
In any case I could not find any archived versions for my purchase period.
I only have v3.4.1 (maybe) at this point.

PS. a discount on the lifetime upgrade would help to make the decision and jump into it, like people have mentioned before.

Thanks.

I only tested webpage capture on few pages, and BDJ may have been one of them, but for whatever reason, the formatting was lost in the capture.

Onenote, without addins only captures webpages as screencaptures, which is fine for some things but not orhers.

I'll give webpage capture another go and see if the problem was site specific.

Bauerapps - Dec 7 2017 at 9:02am Copy Link

Rael Bauer @MojoMan: I see, I misunderstood you. RN uses two different terms for web capture. Web clipping refers to selecting a part of a page and copy/pasting that into RN. That will work most times and includes styles, links and images (as said). However, webpage capture refers to capturing an entire page. It is true that results are variable for this type of capture. For certain fancy modern sites using a lot of javascript the capture may loose a certain amount of styles. For more "plain" websites the results are usually very good.

Up to now I used to use the Firefox Scrapbook add-on, which was renowned for its webpage capture abilities, and we provided a means to import those pages into RN. The latest version of FF has caused some turmoil since this add-on is no longer compatible with it. So we are keeping an eye on that one.

RS I, too, would upgrade during this offer if there were an incentive to do so. Surely I understand that the developer wishes to attract new users, but how about rewarding those who are already loyal to RN and upon which the success of RN depends moving forward? Seems a bit illogical to me.

Dec 7 2017 at 10:54am Copy Link

0

RS Rael: It's easy to make that claim, but I don't see how you support it. Surely, the refusal of loyal existing users to upgrade--when they otherwise would if provided an incentive--is at least as detrimental to future development as offering such a discount, not even considering the possibility that you could lose such users permanently if they feel slighted. I would remind you that BDJ subscribers tend to be a more experienced class of user who expect to find such values in return for their loyalty. The fact that five current users have told you so just today on BDJ supports my argument. This is an opportunity cost that you are not taking into account. The result is that you are losing more than a hundred dollars from these five persons (not to mention the good will that would accrue for future purchases) in order to save let's say $30 if you were to offer a 20 percent discount.

That being said, your logic regarding a discount on the lifetime upgrade license is on firmer ground, given the indefinite nature of the time period involved and that it is an optional add-on to consider with one's initial purchase. You will never lose a sale to such an option.

Accordingly, I urge you to reconsider your position on offering an incentive to existing BDJ users on just the current upgrade. Indeed, many developers offer special terms on BDJ, that are not offered elsewhere, including their own sites. Clearly, they find it advantageous to do so, and would not do so if it risked future development.

Brenda Adams So many wonderful products out there...but so little time or money to devote to each.
I would be happy to pay $19.99 today for an upgrade of my very old Right Note Pro (which still works fine for me) if a sale is happening. I see the sale here at Bits as being promotional--if lots of folks elsewhere normally buy at full price.
I love supporting people who spend their time bringing forth solid, useful software. It's not that I don't appreciate.
But I do agree that walking away from money existing owners *would* pay for upgrade isn't best for you or us. There appears to be lots of interest on the part of users...and that should feel very good to you. It's a compliment. And nobody wants to short you, I'm sure. It's just that most of us home users have so many demands on our time and money (as I'm sure you do also)...and upgrades are running support and nice income, I would think. SO, myself, I'd change my mind and think: let's support our base of existing customers, too, when cutting deals here at Bits. :) It's a good thing.

_*_ To be clear. When I stated, "There is no loss in waiting since there is no sale incentive for upgrading or lifetime upgrades," I was not referring to a 50% for Lifetime Upgrades, or some other large percent beyond 50% for upgrading.

For me a 10 or 15% discount on Lifetime would entice people who may be on the fence of ordering or not. A 55 or 60% upgrade discount during this sale may have the same effect on users who might upgrade as current users.

A personal story is for me with The Bat! email software. New users are offered a greater discount then existing customers. It was at this point I stopped upgrading and using The Bat!. Of course I wrote to the developer stating my point of view and received zero response.

I will say, Rael Bauer is at least willing to talk about it and give his reason for his position.

geo User @Rael Bauer..............@RS, @Brenda Adams, @_*_
I think your comments give a good picture of the pluses why taking care of a certain type of customer / user of the product is good business in the long run.
So, to help the conversation a little more here is my 2 cents.
It is true (from my experience of 8+ years of visiting BDJ almost on a daily basis to just check things out and for some good reading on users experiences) that the members of this community are a little special in many ways.
One of those is that they are loyal to a good product and a genuine developer ( which I think you are both, because if you were not nobody would bother to continue this subject of conversation). There are numerous examples of that through out the comments of the various products offered here.
The terms of the lifetime upgrade require a one year time period before the upgrade can be purchased. That means you FOR SURE will not get a lifetime purchase out of a first time buyer because you exclude them based on your policy. So, that first time buyer may or may not abandon the product for whatever his/her reason might be, you just don't know at this point.
But you do know that everyone here talking about this upgrade is a follower and a user of your product. So, this affects directly them and no one else at this point.
Here is another point to think of. A lifetime purchase is a further investment into your product by the user. So, they will use it for as long as they feel it's a good product. When and if it becomes a bad one it will be abandoned no matter how much the initial investment was, lifetime or not because it's just ....no good.
But while they do use it, it can be a good pool of users to tap into for further feedback, user experience, bug reporting (forum?) etc.
For example, when I run into issues with my version and web clipping I decided to stop using it since I was passed my one year support and upgrade period and moved on to find and test alternatives (Ultra recall). Having had a lifetime license I would have kept working on finding solutions either with a community of users (forum?) or you the developer. At this point, for my case, I will try with the latest version available for my purchase period and if it still not doing it, for me it will be the end of it, at least for the time being.
So, I just tried to illustrate another point of view 'cause there are 1000 ways to skin a cat as the saying goes.

And here is an idea: Why not offer here a lifetime purchase upgrade discount to anyone that purchased (from here at BDJ ) over say, 18 months ago ? Customer appreciation Christmas 2017 event !!!

Just my 2 cents.

Dec 7 2017 at 3:29pm Copy Link

Brian W Obviously, the questions for a developer is: If I give existing users 50% off the upgrade price, then
(1) will I attract at least twice as many people than those who would have upgraded at full price anyways, within the next year?
(2) will I entice past users to try the program again?
(3) if I always give an upgrade discount, will too many users simply wait for the annual sale on BDJ?
(4) even if I don't break even, is it worth offering a discount to keep up the interest of BDJ users who are tracking my offers.

The answers probably vary depending whether the developer has a lot of users who only buy once and thus need to be enticed to keep buying or has a lot of long-term users who upgrade every year. Also, whether BDJ users is a significant or minor proportion of the customers.

(For me, I would likely spend $15 just to keep it updated even though I don't have a current need to upgrade, but I may be the minority.)

Dunking I couldn't tell from the demo, and the description of the side-by-side view doesn't adress my requirements, so...

Is it possible to have two pages from the same notebook visible? I often (in other apps) have two pages on the go: one to crib from as I edit the other. A typical example may be writing some code whilst looking at library documentation, so I need to edit only one page at a time but view more than one.

I understand that I can have more than one instance of RN open, but would that be a fix? It seems that opening the same notebook in more than one instance is an easy route to tears before bedtime, so if that is really the case it doesn't help much.

Rael Bauer Hi Dunking: Currently this is not possible - however it is on our to do list. More and more people are asking for this feature...

Currently, you would probably want to use any external editor (e.g. notepad++) for this purpose.

Dunking Thanks @Rael. That was just an example following a mention in the product blurb - in reality I wouldn't dream of not using my normal editor. But the principle applies: one would edit one page whilst cribbing info (which is, after all, what RN is for) from another page. Since they are related they are likely to be in the same notebook.

After considering this for a bit, and playing with the demo version, I think I'll pass until this option (or a usable workaround) is available. Hope to see you back at BDJ soon :)

Robert Crombie Dunking,
I used NoteCase Pro for some months. That allows you to open multiple files at one time. The open files each had a Tab.
I then discovered RightNotePro, and even though I miss that ability, the other advantages of RightNotePro are such, that I only use RightNotePro now.

RightNote uses Tabs for sub categories within a single file, so switching over to do what NoteCase does is obviously out of the question.
What if the developer gives you the ability to 'Load' (cough!) more than one file, and provides a button (or whatever) to allow you to 'Toggle' between the 'Open' (Cough!) files ?
They would not actually be open, but don't tell anyone.
The developer is just providing a one click way of jumping between the 'Open' (cough!) files.
He (the developer) might want to provide a setting where the user can choose ONE of these actions -
- When toggling, automatically save unsaved changes
OR
- Prompt user to save changes (if any unsaved) before doing the toggle.
I would be opting for the first one, to make the toggle instant.

Colin McAllister I wanted to get to the calendar view shown in screenshot 5 above. I assumed there would be a tab labelled "Calendar" or perhaps I would need to select "View...Calendar" - or at very least a Plain English instruction on how to get that view. All I found was this...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How to enable Journal mode

You can set or unset Journal mode from the Tree Properties dialog (F4). If you set the Journal property, only notes at the root level are going to be arranged chronologically. If you have a tree with sub-notes, and you want all notes to be arranged chronologically, you can use the Flatten Tree action (under the Tree menu: More...->Flatten Tree). This will move all notes to the root level, so that they will then be arranged chronologically in Journal mode. Note however, that the Flatten action cannot be undone!

Journal mode is fully integrated into the application. You can use any note type at the Journal level, and you can enable Journal mode for any tree, including the Evernote Sync Inbox tree."

Clear as mud IMHO. I did manage to get to the calendar view by trial-and-error, but it's not intuitive. :-(

Dunking Can RightNote do clones (by whatever name they might be called)? By that I mean a note or branch that can appear in multiple places of the tree. Often, I have information which is useful to more than one parent, and duplicating the note is possible but not as useful as having a clone of it.

Dierk Dunking: "Can RightNote do clones .... Often, I have information which is useful to more than one parent, and duplicating the note is possible but not as useful as having a clone of it."

Not aware of a specific "clones" option - however, RightNote does have a Hyperlink function that allows linking to both External documents or to other RightNote Notes.

You can also add one or more "Tags" to a RN entry - and then quickly find entries that share a specific tag. Example: have a fairly large number of Notes that can be found via a "Photography" Tag. A number of these notes ALSO can be found via a "Panasonic DMC-FZ-1000" Tag, while "Photography Software" finds a different sub-set of the "Photography" entries.

The Search function in RN is very powerful, & is often enough to quickly come up with the Note(s) you are seeking, but Tags and Hyperlinks can be useful.

Finally, there is a "History" tab within the Resource Panel, which allows "instant" jumping between recently opened Notes (roughly 30 each, under sub-headings of "Recent", "Frequent" and generic "History."

Dunking Thanks @Dierk. I'm aware of tags and links, and whilst these are useful they aren't the same. A clone would appear in the tree as a real note so you can see it's associated, and what it is, without having to click links or search for tags you might've forgotten to assign.

Dierk Dunking: "I understand that I can have more than one instance of RN open, but would that be a fix? It seems that opening the same notebook in more than one instance is an easy route to tears before bedtime..."

An option would be to open 2 copies (of the same RN database) and then select a different THEME for one of the open copies, which would at least give a VISUAL clue as to which one should NOT be altered. Not foolproof of course, but if Consistently applied ("We Never Alter The Database With The Dark Theme...") it should help.

Use RN to prepare documents such as class lessons, homework assignments, weekly emails to the class members & what not. Routine is to copy an appropriate RN Entry over to Word, and do whatever editing is needed there - while referring to RN for reference material to flesh out the document at hand.
The Word document then gets emailed to our office for printing (easier than having to carry an Original in and make photocopies before class!), or attached to a group email for the class members - and then gets saved back to RN as a new entry (under the current semester & study name).

IF your reference material is fairly static, you could also Export the RN database as a Webbook and use that along with an "Active" RN Database. That might particular example may have limited viability - but the Webbook option can be very useful given the right circumstances. (Works fine on a Chromebook - as a Reference source.)

Have been using RN since 2012: it is a great program with an incredible array of features, has been updated regularly, and the developer (Rael Bauer) has been very helpful. (Example: Ver 4.5 has a "Show Protected Notes" option - Rael provided a "Beta" version of this function in response to MY having Password Protected several notes - and then forgetting about them, which interfered with database maintenance.)

geo User My question is with regards to merging of databases from two different versions on two different laptops. One is v3.61 and other v4.5
I have v3.6 but would like to try the current v4.5 and possibly purchase if I find it has significant advantages over my v3.6. During the 30 day trial I will built up info on the v4.5. So, would I be able to merge the two databases together? will they be compatible?

Rael Bauer Hi geo User: The two database versions are not compatible. If you want to move content from v4.5 to v3.6 you would need to export from v4.5 to files and folders, and then import into v3.6.

Steven Avery One feature that I don’t think you have is a flexible tiled note. This would be a note page that allows either columnar and/or free-form rectangles, allowing maximimum visual view and real estate use.

My fav examples are Protopage and Linoit, and the sticky programs, although they are web 2.0 programs with a different usage and without the full-blown infrastructure of Rightnote.

I realize that this may be difficult, and the number of requests may be small, and Evernote sync will have its own nuances, however if you had the feature I believe it would be super-duper used.

A simpler 2 or 3 or 4 column note is a step in that direction.

Sara User If it's a link, clicking on it would probably take you to the link's target, i.e. would shift the displayed portion of the tree to quite another part of that tree. (Cf. Windows' .lnk files.)

So-called clones, on the other hand, would appear in different contexts, as if they were only listed there, and not also somewhere else, so if you click on those tree items, they just expand (i.e. show their content, and also their so-called child items if there are any), in place. (Cf. Windows' hardlinks.)

A link is technically very simple; the items (since we're speaking of an SQLite db here) have an Id-number which (hopefully) never changes, so the click on the link will just activate the item with that ID, and since you then are in that item's (original and only) context, you even will encounter more or less difficulties to get back to the context from which you activated the link, since in its (as said, original and only) context, that ID probably has no direct backlink to (all) its link(s) targeting to it (cf. UltraRecall's clickable context list for its clones for a "where is this item listed"); here in RN, you would probably need the history in order to get back there.

Additional problems arise when the item in question (i.e. the item in different contexts, or the original and unique item, to which elsewhere you have links to) has child items: In a system using clones, as said above, you click on that item, and it expands, i.e. its child items (of, in case, several hierarchical levels, i.e. another subtree) appear in place.

If you have links instead (as in RN), clicking on that link will always bring you to the item with that specific ID, and which may be the so-called parent item of the one(s), in its subtree, which you really are after, so if you switch forth and back, by activating the link in your context 2 and by activating the history function in the original context, the target context of the link, you then have additional work to do in order to get back to the specific child item in context 1, let alone the specific text position in that child item, which will be lost every time as well.

Since cloning is easy - as is having 2 editable items open at the same time btw, and without any need to save your edits if you switch between them, automatic saving should be done when you switch to some 3rd item, in one of the panels (both could come with a dedicated tree (position), btw), or if you close one of the panels, or upon demand -, once you use a db as the backend for the information manager, it's quite astonishing so many of them come without proper cloning.

In some cases, they offer cloning, but then, if the user makes changes (additions of new items or shifts of items or ) to the subtree (of the cloned item) in one or another context, they don't properly replicate the changes to other contexts (cf. MyInfo, cannot speak about its most recent releases though), which is rather astonishing in view of the fact that for cloning, just the cloned item is to be listed as "child" of different "parents", whilst all its "children" should be gathered "live", whenever they're "needed" (i.e. are to be displayed by the program)*, in whatever context. Of course, with links to a unique target position of that "parent" item, you also avoid such subtree handling problems you might get by a possible weird db setup.

Btw, I find most of the "ideas" how to overcome shortcomings I read about above quite hallucinating.

EDIT: * = To make this perfectly clear: That "cloned" "parent" item has got just ONE ID, not different ones, so all its "children" (of any indentation level / subtree position) refer to their respective "parents" which ultimately, i.e. for the level immediately beneath that "parent" item, refer to that unique ID - which just is registered as child with different "parents", in its turn, so clone management is really simple, and resulting subtree inconsistencies are really hard to implement on purpose. (In the table (ID)-(respective parent(s)), that ID for a cloned item (be it a parent item or not, or be it that it becomes a parent item later on or not, all this doesn't matter at all) just appears several times, in different pairs (always the same ID)-(different parent-item IDs).

MojoMan I've been using a variety of different apps and services trying to find the best way to archive articles, webpages, and other info related stuff.... as well as provide a useful means of organization..,. and to me the notebook paradigm is the best organizational structure though most filing systems are very much alike... a tree heirarchy or a notebook with sections and pages and subpages. I just find the notebook based systems more to my liking.

The problem is I want to be able to archive a cached, linked coy of webpages that I save so that I can return to the exact point and follow the related links whenever I want to... without any concern that I'll never find the site again or it will have changed in the interim.

So, I have tried and use various apps/services ... Onenote, Evernote, Rightnote, Nimbus, Raindrop, Historius, Diigo,... and probably a dozen more. There is not one that does everything right. I want the capture to be fairly accurate... and have workable links. I really like RightNote, but I usually simply archive to Evernote because it has about the most accurate capture of everything I've tried. OneNote is a great tool... but you can't capture an accurate, linkable webpage. Evernote is anything but organizational to me. It is more like a black hole. You put stuff in and you may never find it again.

So... all that to ask a couple / few questions...

Are there any changes to RightNote to improve the accuracy of webpage capture (I have 4.3.1) ? This is one of my nits...

If RightNote can't capture WYSIWYG, does it maintain accuracy if a post is captured in Evernote and then imported to RightNote.

Can or will RightNote ever be able to store PDF files. Document management is the other major use of these tools... and I scan a lot and am trying to go paperless and the pdf file is pretty much ubiquitous. OneNot.. has a really poor method of dealing with pdfs. Well, actually it doesn't, you print to OneNote and then it converts to its own proprietary format. Not fun or efficient.

Finally... I hope you're still there... what new features do you have planned.

Thanks for your patience... :)

Dunking @MojoMan: We pages can be notoriously difficult to capture, but there are a couple of options that might mitigate things:

1. Take a screencap and paste that in your PIM of choice. It will look exactly like it does on screen, but you won't have any links and it's not scaleable.

2. Using your browser, save the page as .mht format. This is web archive and basically it's like a normal 'save everything' but puts all the images and stuff inside a single file rather than an additional directory. Open that in a browser and all the links will still work, yet you can view the page even if the real website disappears.

When I need to do this I save as in 2 and create a link to that, but also cut'n'paste any relevant part so I don't need to open the archive to see something.

Nils User @ Peter R and Real Bauer
Actually there are still problems with full unicode support. @ Real I mailed you to that effect 3 weeks ago.
I created a Rich Edit, a Rich View and a Memo note type. Pasting a text with umlaute (äöü) from a webpage into it, the Rich View note showed
gibberish:
"zugehÃ¶rigen Software â€žPalette Master Elementâ€œ eine durchgehend hohe Farbverbindlichkeit erreichen. Mit einer AuflÃ¶sung"
Unicode support was enabled in the options.
Also the indexed text of files from my hard drive is not showing umlaute properly, but like this: zur?ck instead of zurück.

There are a few features I would like to see:
Importing files/ list of files one can choose to import all files only as links, like .txt or .xls files. I would like to be able to do the same when importing folders. Choose whether to import .rtf, .html, .xls only as links and if to index them.
Is there a way to synchronize or check imported/linked files for changes, without importing all the files again? After one has tagged and made comments to the imported files it wouldn't do to do it all over again, because one can't update the imported folders.

Another very welcome feature would be OneNote import support. As OneNote is not going to be further developed in the MS Office version and therefore is going to lose its ability to store data locally, many will look for a OneNote replacement, as do I at the moment.
Some other features to consider: Import pdf and other files metadata, like keywords, image exif, iptc and xmp metadata.
Import thumbnails of images.
But I have to say, Rightnote has one of the best editors, compared to many other note taking software!!!

Colin McAllister Can I just say "Thanks" to Bauerapps (and BDJ) for running this offer for another day?

I do feel I could use this software but - like so many offers on BDJ - there's just so much in it and I don't have all day to try it out, so having another evening to get to grips with it will really help me decide.

The price is good, but so is the price for AJC Syc :-) If you add those both together and add on tax@20%, then it's a lot of outlay to decide on in quick time. Obviously, if they work as I expect then, for me, it's a price worth paying.

Rael Bauer @MojoMan: "Are there any changes to RightNote to improve the accuracy of webpage capture" - Currently not.

"If RightNote can't capture WYSIWYG, does it maintain accuracy if a post is captured in Evernote and then imported to RightNote. ". - If synced to RightNote it should maintain accuracy. Not something I have tested much, so your feedback on this is welcome. There is also the option to import from scrapbook, however that will only work with Firefox v56 - which you could run in portable mode...

"Can or will RightNote ever be able to store PDF files." - You can attach any file including PDF to RightNote as an attachment, however it currently does not handle large files well (e.g. > 10 MB). It can be better to store the file in the file system and then link to RightNote. RightNote will index content of PDF documents.

MojoMan If I could just dump, insert, import pdf's into it in any way it would answer my quest for organizing pretty much everything. PDF's seem to be the best format for everything from webpages (format and links retained at usually a smaller size), to scanned docs , to archived copies of docs.

RN's tagging and linking capabilities plus the tree heirarchy and page/section organization give it the perfect set of tools. I'd imagine that there are open source pdf handlers and such or that they could be licensed from many of the pdf software companies. Even just a file viewer with PDF capabiities would do. I don't plan to use it to edit though annotation would be nice :) .

I've seriously considered moving to Mac and running windows in a VM inside of Mac or some similar arrangement (Linux with Wine). The Macs natively handle pdf files as Windows should have years ago. I guess Gate's ego was too big to negotiate a license with Adobe. Too bad MS didn't see what Adobe would become.

My only two complains would be :
- a recent change in the underlying code base had turn it a bit slowier and a bit more memory consuming than it was when first released.
- a freehand notes page type would be great.
But it has a very clever page-based (contrary to ordinary software-based) encryption solution. This is very convenient, has it speed the workflow, offering the possibility to encrypt only sensitive pages.

bvssunnydale I agree with Mustang about this being "Great software, but still would like to see a user forum." I have had it awhile but the inability to communicate with other users (with any software) severely limits my use of this (I'm a social learner I guess). Also having to ask the - very responsive - developer every small question, in my view, adds an enormous amount (to me) of unnecessary friction to the process (with so much other software to learn why bother?). I created a Reddit subreddit for this software hoping folks would find a place to discuss it but zero interest or awareness (I admit, I only look in on it every few weeks - at least no trolls). Still, I can tell it is "Great software" with much potential.

MojoMan Hi Rael, The reason is quite simple. If you are scanning through a bunch of documents looking for something in particular being able to see them without opening them is a great timesaver. At this point I have inserted an actual pdf into a page and it appears to be fine except that it is not a pdf but an image of the pdf. This leaves me to having to keep the actual pdf somewhere outside of RightNote and possibly inserting a hyperlink to the document. And I have to experiment with MHT files to see if there is any way to import / insert an MHT file.

A thought & question.... I see that insert object is picking up many of the different document types from different programs on my computer. Is there a way to add more document types to the viewer or preview handler (which is what I assume we are really seeing with inserted objects). If there is a way to add object types and set the associations to whatever program we want to render them that would greatly enhance the number and types of objects that could be brought into Right Note. The only other feature which is missing for me would be that I would rather insert all content into RightNote so that it becomes a self contained database with only a few files rather than having all the hundreds of original files still floating around on hard drives, etc. There are only a few consumer oriented programs that do this and each has drawbacks.

Looking at the "package" object as it may? provide a solution thought not perfect. Can you save a file or group of files in a package and then import the package... and does it save the "package" within the database or does it just linked to an external file ?

Mark User I tried previous version of this software and must say it is really impressive. Until now, I have been using Treepad Professional that has similar capabilities but has not been updated for long time and has no future. I med to consider a replacement and this software seems like the best choice.
But there is one important feature missing.
Treepad Licensed software allowed me to edit files, but FREE TreePad Reader, allowed anyone to just read my notes. This was great as I was sharing the documents with those that did not have license for TreePad.
I do not see how to do this with Right Note.

Is the FREE Version capable of just displaying notes created in Pro version?
If not, I do not see a way to share my notes with others using a free reader application.
Am I missing something? I will appreciate suggestions.

Rael Bauer @Mitchell User: Each note does have a date created and date modified property (see Tree->Note Properties), however currently there is not the possibility to sort by these attributes, or to add your own custom attributes (This is something I would like to add in the future..)

"Can I paste into the tree view a table of contents I copied from an e-book?" Currently this is not supported. It is on the todo list.

Not sure exactly what you have in mind by the term pages/tables, however you can copy/paste notes in the tree via the right click menu "Clipboard->Copy" "Clipboard->Paste". You can also do this between notebooks using the Side by Side view or Floating Tree dialog (see under Tools menu).

We do not have browser extensions. Instead the RN clipping shortcuts work universally on browsers without needing an extension. (Note: firefox needs some special setup. See Tools->Options->Browser for more details)

Dierk @Mark User "If not, I do not see a way to share my notes with others using a free reader application."

Another option for sharing a RN Database is to Export it as a "Webbook."
Although not a perfect solution - a native android app would be ideal - this is the method I use to transfer RN data to my Chromebook, and preserves the ability to Search (quickly) within the resulting output.

The process works Very Well for "static" databases, but can require a fair amount of time for larger, frequently updated databases - apparently at least in part due to the time needed to update the Search Index.

RN also has a "general" Export function, with a good range of options, including a half-dozen file formats and a variety of "Style" settings. You can choose to Export Notes into Individual Files or as a Single Merged File.

FWIW: RN Ver 5.0.0 was released on 12 June 2019.
Since that date, there have been (at least) 8 additional updates to Ver 5.x, many of which added or enhanced program features.

Have been a RN (Pro) user since Ver 2.6.3.0, and consider it an "Essential" tool for research and reference.

RN is not "perfect," but it has been under continuous development during the time in use, and I have not ran across any alternative that offers a better combination of features (for MY purposes).

Dunking I would buy this right now if it weren't for the single-window view. My workflow in many things (writing code, CAD, editing, etc) usually has one window that I am making changes in, and another that I can refer to. Typically, the reference window will show stuff from the same project (if not the same object) that I am editing.

I know of the RightNote floating tree and side-by-side view, but these aren't the same. With other applications I can open the same project file in another instance to achieve the same end if necessary. Word let's me do that and marks the second instance as read-only to prevent problems. I like that.

I had this issue with MyBase, except that there it didn't stop me opening the project twice. In fact, the problem was that the last viewed project was automatically opened, and another instance of MyBase opened that project too, even if one then opened a different project. I lost a database because of that, but the developer we very quick, and open to suggestions, and MyBase now opens the project as read-only the second time.

Cannot RightNote do something as simple as that? Ideally a record lock would be used, but a project-wide RO flag would drag the money from my purse right now.

While there are a couple of potential Work-Arounds that might achieve your goal, don't know of an Elegant (that is: Automatic) way to do it with RN.

Different working environments: use RN as a Reference Database (or, more precisely, as 1/2 Dozen Reference Databases!), but Almost Always end up doing Original Work in other programs - usually Word, sometimes Excel, possibly EPim or MoneyDance or a Web / Social Media site - as these specialty programs generally offer more robust editing and formatting tools, or simply Added Functions, than I expect from a Reference tool - even one as powerful as I have found RN to be.

To be certain, when you Open another instance of an already open RN database the program does WARN you to Be Very Careful....

Bill Sech I like this program. It can do a lot. With rightnote I can add many attachments at once, say 40 or 50 receipt jpgs with no problem at all. I can add child notes to notes. Child attachments to attachments. Child notes to attachments. Child attachments to notes. I can add/display a jpg in a page and then add the jpg file as a child attachment or a hyperlink to the file on my pc. This all works good for me. It has been a little more memory heavy than I was hoping however and in some instances can be a bit slow. However, all in all, I'm glad I have it and now prefer it over other similar programs even though its a close call. I use it for receipt storage, home maintenance records mostly as well as off the top of my head tidbits of info etc.

Mitchell User Assume one is outlining an e-book with say thirty-five chapters. You want to create an RN Page for each chapter. You need to build and modify the outline as you progress through the e-book. After you outline the first chapter, you can copy the RN Tree and paste it into the Tree View for the second RN page. You then add some child and parent nodes and demote and promote others and you move and delete other notes. Rudimentary outlining; nothing fancy. Then you copy the altered the RN Tree for the second page and paste it into the Tree View for the third page, where the tree is altered and modified again. I would say by the end of the fifth chapter of the e-book, the RN Tree barely resembles the first RN Tree and yet the structure and contents of the fifth RN tree are equally applicable to the first RN page if not more so. By the end of the book, I would have to copy the Tree from the last chapter and paste into the Tree Views for all the RN Pages.

Have I described this accurately?

Will the clip be the same as the webpage section I clipped, graphics included, html, or only text stripped from the clipped section?

Is there an option to auto paste clipboard content to RN?

Rael Bauer @W Ma: 1) Yes. 2) The clip includes images and html formatting.

3) Not entirely sure what you are asking: If you want to just paste plain text, you can do so with the Ctrl+Shift+P shortcut (when in RN).

4) There is such an option, but it does not work reliably. Generally you want to press Ctrl+C to copy desired content, then press clipper hotkey to send to RN either as a new note, or add to current note.

Mitchell User Because the outline I created while reading through Chapter 1 (Page 1) is completely relevant to Chapter 2 (Page 2), but the outline expands and changes while reading Chapter 2 (Page 2), so I have to copy it and paste it into the Tree View of Chapter 3 which again expands and changes.

I want one outline in the Tree View which I can expand and change as create new pages that correspond to the chapters in the e-book.

When I create a new page in RN, the Tree View is empty but for the "Default Note." I want to see the outline that I have been creating.

Dierk Have used RightNote since 2012 and highly recommend the Pro version to anyone who works with large quantities of (primarily) text-based data / information. "Pro" is easily worth it's normal price tag, & at the BitsDuJour promotional price this program is an absolute bargain.

More casual users can probably get by with the Standard - or even the Free(!) - version, but Pro adds significant features, especially when dealing with larger amounts of information - notably content indexing with multi-notebook search capability, and the Webbook Export option. And Evernote integration is a nice bonus for those who work with both apps.

No program is "perfect" of course, but the author has regularly made improvements & / or added features since we picked RN up (Ver 2.x), and has been responsive to the few technical hiccups that have occurred along the way.

RightNote has earned status as an "Essential" and is one of the first programs loaded on any new system.

(Would still love to see a sponsored User's Forum, and - ideally - a "native" Android app - even if "read only" - capable of wifi sync: Webbook works fine for relatively "static" databases, but is awkward for ones that constantly change...)

Bruno User With all due respect but some of the comments above are just fan boy stuff ("highly recommend the Pro version to anyone who works with large quantities of (primarily) text-based data / information", "Maybe the best of its type.", etc.)

RN is a database-driven 2-pane outliner (db: SQLite, like some others) which comes with NO transclusion (vulgar: "cloning"), i.e. no sub item (neither single nor "parent" item of another sub tree) in the item tree can be put as "child" of more than just one other item, and fact is, the more items your data set comprises, the more you'll need that functionality.

Some other offerings do have this though, e.g. (the robust) UltraRecall (also SQLite-based), here and there available here on bits, too, and recommending RN especially for large datasets, as done in the cited comment, goes against any rules of honesty; another question is, of course, the "getting out again" your data from any such program, and then, without data loss, into another such program, so people who are more or less stuck into one of them, might be interested in "their" program to sell a lot to other users, in order to assure further development, hence possible motivation to do propaganda.

Another missing functionality of RN, I cite: "M K G I have two questions regarding RightNote: 1. Does RightNote also support WikiLinks and WikiWords?" - Rael Bauer @M K G:" "1) No." - the simple "No.", without any further "but I'm working of in-linking functionality" of something like that speaks for itself.

The question of missing Google or Apple functionality, on the other hand, isn't that virulent though, since powerful mobile Windows devices have become available with weights below 1 kg, and within the same price range as the better iPhones / iPads, and it seems that most people who insist on having their data on more than Windows devices, will buy the Apple stuff anyway, even for their desktop needs, and / or will rent some of the nowadays having become very numerous web based outliners / information managers to begin with, so any development in hybrid stuff (desktop stuff like RN and then synching with a mobile version) will not meet the expected customer response anymore (there are even some examples for this fallacy), since we're not in 2005 anymore where such a concept would have met success; therefore, it's very understandable that "desktop" developers refrain from such, today very thankless, ventures - on the other hand, they should openly communicate about it, so that users did not hope, year after year, in vain, for something that will never come, the time window for its viable production being closed for years now.

(When I insist on de database foundation of some of these programs above, it's because that would make it easy to introduce and maintain transclusion, so as a general rule, for large datasets at least and for everyone who really works with their data, instead of just stuffing stuff from the web into a large bin, "in case of" (which then never occurs, most of the time), non-db-driven programs should be avoided, as well as everything db-driven but which is "without cloning". And yes, it's possible to "open up" an existing, db-driven non-clones outliner to transclusion, without leaving existing data / users behind, Mr. Bauer just seems to have never seen the necessity to do so, being questioned for this for many years now.)

Bruno User Mr. Bauer: "So far not. Not sure I see the advantage of WikiWords? RightNote does allow you to link to other notes within the note content, and point to specific paragraphs if desired." - I was not aware of this functionality, which for the time being, few of these programs come with, I only know of MyInfo in this respect but which in the course of a rehaul from v6 to v7 (other db, etc.), so would not be a safe bet currently.

My observations re absence of transclusion in RN, and in particular the need for it, remain valid, and also my remarks re the exportability of your notes, together with the framework and all, so if you're stuck with one such program, you have to live with it, even if it then never gets much-needed functionality. In fact, even the import functionality of RN (which I trialled recently, just in case of) is very poor, let alone exporting your stuff, but that, as implied above, is a general problem in that software category. (Above: vulgo, not vulgar, sorry.)

Dierk Stew Cam: "I moved over to Essential PIM,... wider range of sync options."

FWIW, I also use Essential PIM ("Pro") as well as RightNote (Pro), but as much as I admire EPim - and wish that RN offered an Android version - the Notes module in EPim is not nearly as capable as RN, at least for MY usage.

EPim seems better suited to Shorter Text Notes, whereas RN handles a variety of data rather well (Ex: Spreadsheets & Graphics), and has much more powerful Search capability. To be fair, I Like Targeted apps, and run EPim, RN, AND eWallet side-by-side.

Note: The Webbook Export in RN is useful for getting data over to an mobile device / Chromebook, but while the output is handy, I find the process of getting there somewhat clunky...

Rich OBrien I've used RightNote all day, every day for nine years since 2012 when BitsDuJour brought this highly useful software to my attention.
Besides copying a website directly into RightNote, many times I point at a website and press Ctrl A to select all. Then to paste that website into RightNote, I use RightNote's right click mouse menu to Add Sibling - Richview. I click on that new blank page and from the right click mouse menu, I choose Paste - HTML Format. If the website contains mostly text, I can easily change the text font and increase the font size to make it more readable.
RightNote's Paste - HTML Format pastes website text and pictures. But if a wanted picture fails to paste from a website, I use the superior screen capture software Snagit or PickPick to easily copy and paste any picture into RightNote where I want it. And Rightnote lets us drag the corner of the picture to resize the picture before saving the web page.
RightNote competitors such as Nimbus Note don't provide a way to change fonts and font sizes. And without this much used feature, I'm staying with RightNote.

You can change all things you said or drag en drop text blocks to another place.
I use RNP too, just like EPIM Pro, Evernote, Bear, Drafts, Craft, Notability, DEVONthink, Notion, Joplin, ... all with sync to iOS. That's what RN(P) is missing - in fact a big issue. I know about the sync with EN, but that's a different thing...

Dierk Had managed to miss Nimbus Note so took a peek at it (was intrigued by their "educational" blurb). With admittedly only a short trial, it seems much closer to OneNote or EverNote in terms of data organization than to RightNote.

Obviously a LOT of people like OneNote, and EverNote - and apparently Nimbus as well - but I PERSONALLY prefer the organizational scheme that RN uses over any of these. To be fair, Familiarity probably plays a role in that preference, and can easily see how a desire for specific features could sway someone toward any of these options.

Will "note" that the Advanced features of Nimbus come with a relatively high price tag - and a focus on Group usage - which puts it into a different competitive market. "Apples and Oranges" if you will.

Rael Bauer Hi Kelly, It should preserve you previous settings. Bear in mind if you use the latest version it will update your RightNote database files to a newer version which cannot then be used with your old version. If you want to try out the newer version, I suggest you download the portable version (zip archive), and try that out, as it will not affect your existing installation.

Rich OBrien I've used RightNote all day every day since 2012. The software is improved constantly and is very easy to use.
About my only wish is for RightNote to clip web pages much faster.
Microsoft recently messed with Internet Explore so I can no longer use MetaProducts Inquiry to save web pages in three seconds. So I went looking for a program that can clip web pages fast.
I found that Nimbus stopped working after I clipped a few dozen web pages, but before it stopped working Nimbus could clip a copy of a web page in 20 seconds. So I wonder why RightNote can't also clip a copy of a web page in 20 seconds.
I couldn't live without RightNote. Buy it for half price, play with it for a while and you'll want to pay to upgrade to get the extra features of the Pro version.

Bill Blackledge Just a note to say that we have tried many tree-based information managers and RightNote is our favourite. One of the main reasons is the feature "Export your notebooks to web and mobile formats, so that you can access your notes and information on your mobile devices." This allows us to develop and structure information in the application then share it (read-only but searchable) on the our intranet. I requested a feature about a month ago, the developer included it within two weeks. Great application and a bargain at this price.

2. And something completely different:
"RightNote" is an example for a software that installs automatically an additional (undesired) keyboard-layout in Windows (namely English - United States). This is very annoying, the more as the removal is quite cumbersome and whenever starting Right Note the layout appears again.
So please, Rael, try to fix this. Thank you.

Okay, since it will be one user, can I install it on both computers? I don't want to do anything wrong, but I read the Fine Print and didn't understand it all.

Can someone explain it to me? Because I think that I should only have to buy one license since it is just one user. But, what if I have to look something up on my laptop when I am in class, but I am not at my dorm computer.

Dierk RightNote Pro user since Nov 2012 (Nov 26, 2012 to be precise...), and it remains one of my Essential applications: not perfect, but have yet to find anything else that seems superior for my usage.

As has been mentioned elsewhere, the developer (Rael Bauer) has been very responsive over the years, and RN has seen constant development. For example: the app was Updated 8 times in 2021, and an additional 6 times in 2022.

To be fair, many of these were minor fixes; but the program also went from version 5.4.x to 5.9.x with a number of useful changes. Personal Example: ver 5.9.1 introduced a "Max Image Size" setting for Richview notes - a request that I made to Rael earlier in the year. I suspect other users probably made a similar suggestion, but it still "feels good" to see the change take place.

Al Coming from a long history of fascination and in-depth use of hierarchical single-pane outliners stemming from the 1980's with PC Outline, the venerable Grandview, and the unrivaled Notemap within that class, all since defunct, and therefrom to present seeing the comings and goings of a multitude of two pane PIMs, RightNote is at the forefront..

I reviewed my software procurement testing & analysis database of the current genre of multi-pane outliers / PIMs and counted all that I've tried and reviewed. Those that had met initial muster and were not summarily declined for experience based reasons and knowledge, were downloaded and tried in isolated environment. In looking back for the purpose of commenting here, I was astonished that these numbered 58!

So from this background and extensive research, I feel well to say that IMO, Right Note is the best of the best available. Tree pad Business edition was one of its closest rivals with a relatively large user base; and I used it for years. Like so many others, it was abandoned by the developer (shame, shame!). Still, even then, Right Note one-upped it

I have since acquired a Lifetime license for Right Note. I love the fact that it runs portable. And its multi-layout html exports are not commonly found elsewhere among the lot. Feature wise, there's too much to say about it in comments here. There's only one other program that I have played with recently that may rival Right Note, but Right Note still primed it. I will not mention that further, because this is all about Right Note here and it has become my choice.

Concerning the Right Note developer, Rael has been so quick and responsive the couple or few time I've emailed him over the years. I do hope that Right Note development continues and expands in use, and remains profitable to support that development and user base. From what I sense, Rael is an earnest developer who feels a responsibility to that base, and hopefully would provide for its turnover if ever he would decide to retire from active development and support efforts.

Peter On the one hand RightNote is without any doubt a very good and user-friendly program. On the other hand, when making a test with the latest version, I see that various shortcomings of older versions are still here.

I agree with bvssunnydale that the existence of a forum for RightNote would make the discussion about such matters much easier. So I will restrict to one example:

The filter for the tree obviously continues to show matches not only at the beginning of a note title but also somewhere in the middle. E.g.: When typing "our" it will show me also as results notes with the title "courage", "course", "four" etc. In case of a tree with about 25.000 notes where I would like to find one specific note called "our", this is an undesired method. - Rael, already years ago you told me that you think you could add some option for this need. Unfortunately it seems that it is still missing. At least I cannot find something under Tools -> Options -> Notebook -> Tree (options).

Sorry for complaing about such details. But when using permanently the tree to look up for a certain term (represented by a certain note) it plays an important role that the filter works as comfortably as possible.

Dierk @Peter "The filter for the tree obviously continues to show matches not only at the beginning of a note title but also somewhere in the middle."

Your example shows how Different Usages / Users can impact results. As a Quick Test I tried a Filter on a Tree to search for "one": that did indeed return individual Notes that contained "One" - as a stand-alone word - as well as titles with (for example) "Everyone."

However, when using the Search Dialog ("Search for:") with Options set for "Search in: Captions" and "Scope: Current Page" the returned results included Only Titles with "One" appearing as a free-standing word.

I don't know whether that would be helpful in YOUR use case, but it certainly returned a manageable list of options in my case (and made those with "One" as the First Word in a Title easy to spot - highlighted in yellow).

Individual Preference certainly plays a role here: I "always" use the main Search function as opposed to the Tree/Filter dialog, which I basically ignore (even though it offers a HANDY "Last Modified" column!)

Peter @Dierk: Thanks for your comment and your test. Indeed via the Search Dialog it is possible to achieve my aim. The method you describe is definitely helpful. But compared with an appropriate option directly in the filter of the tree I would say that it is only a workaround.

By the way, you have to take care of one more setting in the Options of the Search Dialog: It is "Search in: Captions" plus a certain "Search mode" - namely "Fast" (it will not work with Search mode "Normal" or "DB").

As you write, individual preferences are often different. Although I appreciate too the existence of a powerful "full search" function (which RightNote offers) I need it rather seldom, whereas I use the filter for the tree permanently. At the moment I work with another similar program which does exactly what I am missing at RightNote in this respect. And such details make it difficult to decide whether to change a program or to stay with the current one (which has some other disadvantages compared with RightNote). ;-)

Paul Kelly Good organizer, though the interface is a bit gaudy and dated. I like RightNote because it allows me to embed links to both websites and local files on my hard drive. Specifically, I link local video files. Very useful for training videos, "How To" videos downloaded from Youtube as well as any sort of static files you want to access from an organized front end. AllMyNotes and the lesser known but excellent WhizFolders also allow you to do that. Many other organizers do not. I've purchased all three, because I like to encourage people who make well designed tools. I also like that it provides an intuitive framework to do what I want an organizer for without throwing in a lot of whiz-bang stuff I don't want or need. It does not explicitly support collaboration. For that you may want to keep looking. I just want a personal organizer, not a social experience, so I'm fine with that.
And of course you own it ... no monthly subscription nonsense. Recommended.

Visitor-2014 RightNote is a very good software. Just a small (?) request: To my mind it would be better if the Filter (for the tree) and the "Search for" feature would deliver only results where the characters searched for are at the beginning of a word. As it works now, searching e.g. for "nation" will also deliver words like "combination", "declination", "donation", "international" etc. That's (for my needs) by far too much. Perhaps you could consider to add at least an option to restrict the results in the described way. Thank you.

Constantin Florea @Andrew User, When it comes to PayPal, the issue you mentioned is happening, we also experienced it for a few times, unfortunately we don't have a fix for it. But we did notice it happens randomly. What we can suggest is that you try another browser to make the purchase and also to try at different times to make the purchase.

Andrew User I originally tried with Chrome. It has just failed again with Firefox. According to the browser console, it is a Hermes problem related to dumbledore/CSS. I wish vendors would test systems before making items available to the public.

Brenda Adams Andrew: Perhaps not related to vendor: I have been having problem with various pay websites...go to pay, get everything filled out, ready to end...and it stops altogether. Tried using other browswers...same thing. Don't know if it's something on my own computer or ??
ANYWAY: I suspect it's nothing to do with RightNote. BTW: I've owned the program for years and always go back to using it after trying others. Good stuff!

Stanley Silverman Dear Bauerapps,
I just purchased RightNote Pro v.6.1.1 as part of today's 50% off special.
I am running the latest version of Windows 11 virtually (the most recent version Parallels Desktop on an M1-based Mac laptop, the latest version of MacOS). RightNote installs, but it doesn't do anything when I try to launch it - there's no error message or anything else.

Can you please assist, or should I request a full refund?
Thanks for your assistance!
Sincerely,
Stanley Silverman

Rael Bauer @Gary: It can import the pdf's themselves. If you drag-drop a pdf into the tree, then you will be prompted to import as a link or as an attachment. Also, in the tree, under Add child or Add sibling, you can select to add a link or an attachment.

Rael Bauer @Stanley: With regard to a refund, we are happy to give you a full refund within 30 days if you are not happy with your purchase, so let's first try and see if we can resolve the issue. The most usual cause for that behaviour is an anti-virus preventing the application from running. So please check that is not blocking the application. For this issue, it may be easier to communicate via email: rael dot bauer @ gmail dot com

Gary User I tried the trial, but the "attachment" option is greyed out. All the other methods just seem to create a link to the pdf.

Then I realized that I had purchased version 5 a couple of years ago so I installed it - the attachment method in version 5 appears to just create a link to a pdf.

In version 6 is the pdf actually added to the database so if the database is transferred to another computer then the pdf would also be transferred, or is it just a link to the pdf residing on the original location?

Tomasz User @Rael Bauer - may I suggest 2 features: indexing text files with a non-txt extension (for instance .sql), display contents of attached/linked files. File info (i.e caption, source etc.) is, in my opinion, not enough. Ideally code snippets (text files with certain extensions) could be view/edited in Source Code element, text files with RichView element etc.

Patroklos Kazazis Hello, i tried to buy RightNote from bitsdujour offer:

https://www.bitsdujour.co...deals-home

but I have problems when I put the card details at the purchase window.

I have the following error: "There was a problem with that Transaction! Code: 666-3".

How can I please purchase your software without missing the offer from Bitsdujour; Are there alternative ways to pay?

Constantin Florea @Patroklos Kazazis, The error number you mentioned means that there is no response back from the credit card company we are using to process the sales (during the order process our system must communicate with the system/server of that credit card company but for some reason that server did not respond) .

In this case we suggest that you close and then open your browser and try to purchase again.

Rich OBrien I have used RightNote all day every day since 2010 and I couldn't function without it. RightNote Pro's Clipper lets me instantly make bookmarks with thumbnail pictures of a webpage. The bookmarks are fully editable. I wish I could show you a picture because it isn't possible to describe these wonderful bookmarks with pictures that I've been making and using for years to quickly find notes that are important to me.

Robert Crombie Rich OBrien You mentioned - 'quickly find notes that are important to me'
This is what I do -
I type something like this above important notes 'zMODEM Configure' or just 'zMODEM'
Later if I have forgotten where my notes are -
Press F9 key to open search panel, and type 'zMODEM'
The search panel lists where the note is.
The adjacent word also appears ('configure') in case I have a couple of 'zMODEM'
What more could a man ask for ?

Dierk RightNote (Pro) has been my "Research / Long-Form / Long-Term" notes database since 2012 - running from Ver 2.x through 6.3 along the way.

While not "perfect," RN remains an Essential Tool and is in constant usage.
Have 6 RN data files open on my system by default - 5 launched from Groupy, while the sixth resides on a separate Desktop with 2 other related apps.

Will strongly recommend going "Pro" and creating multiple databases from the start. Ex: I use Main (= General Ref), Teaching, NewsCommentary, HealthScience, and Tech, with Finance opening on a second windows desktop.

Each database includes multiple Pages, and each Page contains multiple Folders / Notes. This is, of course, MY usage preference, and one which I carry over to EPIM (short term / short length / frequently changed notes & reminders that require access on Android AND Windows) and to eWallet (secure database for passwords and other "sensitive" personal data).

Judicious use of Pages, Folders, and Tags could forestall the need for multiple databases, but I simply Prefer having more discrete Organization (don't ask how many FOLDERS I sort email into!).

As powerful as the RN Search function is, it is still easier to START with some idea as to Organization rather then trying to sort entries later on. And the cross-database Search in Pro means you can still find those notes that could arguably be entered in multiple locations but for which you 'settled' on only 1 option (great use for Tags).

Also Recommend running through the New User Guide, and looking at the Help File Contents. The "What's New" link (from the Help menu within RN) can also be a useful tool for picking up on New Functions that one might otherwise miss.

Finally: RightNote would STILL benefit from an "active" user group - something that has been bandied about for at least a decade. (Ex: OutlineSoftware has user notes dating back to at least 2014 - with reference to even earlier posts - and sporadic entries in the intervening years.)

bvssunnydale Hi, I purchased this and am looking forward to using it. ALSO I accidentally purchased "Connectify Hotspot MAX v2018.4.1 (1) " - which I don't want - my order didn't initially go through so it took awhile to figure out what was wrong and, somehow, Hotspot replaced RightNote in my cart, which I paid for not realizing it had changed in a hidden part of the screen. Since BitsDuJour doesn't seem to have a 'support' link I'm just writing here to request that "Connectify Hotspot MAX v2018.4.1 (1)" be refunded. RightNote's an excellent program but I don't need Hotspot.. Thanks.

Bill Blackledge @William Diacheysn, I don't think this would entirely address your concern, but one of the reasons why our office invested in RightNote, is because of its ability to export 'web-books'. These are HTML files with embedded javascript, to provide a tree-interface for accessing the notes, plus a search capability. The result can be published to a LAN, or FTP uploaded for access via the web. My default browser window includes a tab connected to our software/hardware technical notes, served from a NAS - so I don't even have to open RightNote to access frequently-viewed information.
Having tried quite a number of tree--info-organisers over the years, Rightnote is what we have settled on and is highly recommend.
