Tom Colvin I've been using the freeware KeyNote for years now -- it apparently does pretty much the same thing as Tree Notes, with perhaps even some additional capability thrown in.

However, KeyNote is no longer under defvelopment, and I'd really like to find something new and up-to-date. Can anyone explain why Tree Notes might just be that replacement software?

Krzysztof N. KeyNote *is* under development. Please look at KeyNote NF:
http://sourceforge.net/pr...e-newfeat/

The new developer labels it:
"Tabbed notebook with RichText editor, multi-level notes and strong encryption.Added new features to Marek's KeyNote: checkboxes on children of selected nodes, hidden nodes, alarms on nodes."

Michael K I have downloaded the trial and attached a couple of emails to a note which is a very neat feature.

However, when I did a search on a word that is included in the email title and clearly shown in Tree Notes column that lists attachments, it said nothing was found.

I then tried the same thing in embedding a file and did a search on a word in the file name which also is shown in the Tree Notes attachment column but again nothing was found.

It seems the search function does not find things outside the body of a note which if true is a major limitation of the search feature.

There is not much use in being able to embed emails and files if one can't locate them easily or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Michael

Dextronet Michael: Yes, you can't currently search inside the attachments. That would be very difficult feature to implement, as you can attach literally anything.

What you can do is to write a short description of the attached document into the main body of the note.

Michael K Hi Jiri,

Thanks for the response and I understand it would be difficult to search "inside" an attachment or email. That is not what I am looking to achieve.

In embedding a file or an email, Tree Notes has a "Name" column where it give the file name or title, whatever you want to call it. It is important and I think in many ways essential to be able to search on a word that is in that "Name" column, that is all I am asking for.

Your workaround would involve copying all those titles i to the main body of the note which is messy and time consuming.

Would it not be possible in the near term to include the 'Name" column as it called in Tree Notes, in the search so that attachments and emails can be easily located along with their associated notes.?

Also, when emails and documents are embedded in the database are they independent of the original document? That is if the original email in Outlook is deleted or the original word document is deleted, does copy embedded into Tree Notes remain intact.?

I note Tree Notes can be used on a portable USB thumb drive so does that mean it carries with it full copies of the l attachments whether they are emails, word documents or excel spreadsheets and that those attachments can be opened while traveling, on any other computer that has the originating application on it such as Outlook, Word or Excel or whatever application type the file was created in?

Does it meant Tree Notes will then run from the USB drive without installing itself on the host machine but can use the host computer's applications to open the attachments carried in the Tree Notes database on the USB thumb drive?

And lastly, can a Tree Notes database on a laptop and one on a thumb drive be synchronized?

Hope that's all clear but if not, please let me know.

Dextronet Michael: That makes sense.

1) We might add attachments searching in the near future, yes, but I can't promise it at this point, as we are working on other things.

2) Yes, embedded attachments are stored as copies in the database. You can delete the original files/emails, and they will remain intact in Tree Notes.

3) Yes, when you run it from USB thumb drive, all embedded attachments will be available.

4) Yes, you can run it from the USB thumb drive without installing it on any host computer, and use the applications available on the host computer in order to open/edit attachments.

5) Synchronizing is not possible yet, but it will be in the future. You can just always run it from the USB to have only one database.

Michael K Hi, Jiri,

I will buy Tree Notes today in the hope that you folks see the importance of including the attachment "Name" column of the database in the search options in the near future.

Adding attachments to Tree Notes is a great feature but if users can't find them easily, it will lead to a source of frustration in your useful program.

Many thanks for your swift responses.

Josh Valino I do agree it provides values, but when I compare it to other software that doesn't come from the "big players" (i.e. Microsoft, Adobe, etc.), from a consumer's standpoint, it is overpriced. The professional version seems to be priced okay, though I must say. But, when I compare it to other "utility" apps I use, such as Beyond Compare, TextPad, it's overpriced. But, just my opinion, of course, and I purchase accordingly.

Michael K I agree with Josh concerning the pricing of Swift To-Do being too expensive and that applies to the Professional version too which is why I have not bought it.

Richard Blake It concerns me somewhat that your product page at dextronet.com speaks of a database having hundreds of notes. I'd be more confident with a program comfortable handling many thousands. Maintaining a separate database for each major topic category is a significant sacrifice of convenience, since only one can be open at a time. But perhaps I take "hundreds" too literally.

I see that TreeNotes does not maintain a tree of folders that contain notes, only a tree of notes that contain other notes. I'm trying to convince myself that a note will do everything that a folder would do (in the left pane), plus it can hold text (in the right pane). But I don't quite see that. #1: if I expand a note with subnotes in the tree, then all the notes beneath it expand, both those that have other subnotes (thus serving as folders) and those that do not. #2: searches search and return notes; there is no option to search only within notes that contain subnotes (i.e. folders). #3: no obvious opportunity for future enhancement allowing a note to appear under multiple folders, except by duplicating the note. (And, of course, a folder could be implemented to allow it to have text in the right pane - describing the folder itself - but perhaps not be able to have attachments.)

Search function: the results window shows the names of the notes that contain the found text. Clicking on any of them does nothing. Doubleclicking takes you to the note, hilighting it in the tree and showing its text to the right. However doing so also closes the search results window. I would prefer that a single click on any search result made that note current, but left the search results window open, allowing convenient navigation to other hits.
Of course, the program costs far less than AskSam and has almost zero learning curve. Fine for $9.95, but how soon will I decide I have outgrown it?

Oliver Steinmetz This software looks a lot more up-to-date than Aml pages - the interface is so much cleaner and user-friendly and most importantly IT'S SIMPLE

Aml Pages might have more features, but a lot of people including me are minimalists and don't want something like Aml Pages that is filled with too many distracting things for day-to-day work.

I've been using Swift-To-Do to organize my notes, but was about to look for alternatives, so I'm very happy that finally there's a similar program with pretty icons that is simple yet powerful enough to organize encrypted notes.

Will get this instead of Aml Pages!

HJ B It seems that:

1. A paste into Tree Notes converts the material into plain text. All formatting is lost, except that usually associated with plain text, and any links imbedded in a word or phrase will also be lost. There does not seem to be anyway to save links that are embedded in a source document.

2. If an actual url is pasted into the main window, the program will recognize what it is and it will function as a link.

3. There is a short quick start guide; however there does not appear to be any other manual or detailed help file.

4. There are two search functions. One permits a search within a note. The other permits a search across multiple notes; however, it does not jump through the different notes, but only reports which notes contain the word or phrase . One must then go to each such note and do a repeated search.

5. The search function does not go across databases and does include attached material.

6. There does not appear to be a specification of what the size limits are for a note or a database.

If I come across a webpage or a webpage segment that I wish to preserve as it appears within a browser, is there a way to do that within this program, or can I only save a link to the page? The difference is significant since web pages change and also sometimes a one only wants a sentence or a paragraph (but with imbedded links and formatting).

The program gives the ability to embed a document. If I embed a document, and then the original is deleted, will I be able to use the embedded document in the same way as I could have used the original?

Can a copy of a database file be sent to other people. If so, will they require this program in order to read it?

Dec 18 2011 at 2:17am Copy Link

Dextronet Hi HJ B:

Paste does not convert the material into plain-text, unless you turn this in in File - Options - Notes.

The database limit is 4 GB.

To store a web-page: Either copy its contents and paste it into Tree Notes (this can be sometimes messy, so if the web-page supports print view mode, use that), OR, you can save the webpage to MHT archive in your browser and them embed that into Tree Notes note as an attachment.

If you embed an attachment, it is stored in the database, and you do not need the original file anymore. The attachments mechanism is based on the way our Swift To-Do List handles attachments. You can learn more about it here: http://www.dextronet.com/...-and-more/

Steven Avery Hi Folks,

This is a crowded genre, my favs have been RightNote, TreeDbNotes, Keynote-NF with honorable mention to AmiPages, WhizFolders and AllMyNotes Organizer.

However ...Dextronet has proven their versatility with Swift To-Do, and the biggest problem is getting a fuil, supported, neat program at a nice price. So this should be interesting.

Swift To-Do has been excellent.

Looking at the pic .. the biggest lack is not having a "tab metaphor" which is very helpful for keeping diverse information in one database without overloading the Explorer-style pane. I passed over this lack in Swift To-Do because it clearly had some edges over the To-Do competition. I'll watch the comments here to see if Tree Notes has some good edges that will make up for the tab lack (in addition to the Bits excellent discount aspect. ) compared to the first 4-5 programs above, or if it has another way to economize structure. (Ami has tabs on two edges.) Without the tabs you usually end up with either clutter or a large multiple of distinct database files.

If nothing else, this Bits is helping me to really review the field !

And the big problem is getting a solid program without shelling out $30-50 .. (except Keynotes-NF freeware, which is a tad dated and bland, although good) or having the "Free edition limitations (usually a hassle)" ... so this may well be fine even with the tab question. If everything else works good, and the program is pleasant, a $10 purchase will be forthcoming.

On my computer, the paste function does not work as you describe. Here is what I found:

1. Copy mixed graphics, links and text from Firefox browser and paste into Treenotes. Result: I get plain text only, regardless of whether I use the mouse, right click options, or ctrl v or ctrel alt v.

2. Paste to Ms Word and the same material looks like it did in the browser. Copy that result from Word and paste it into Treenotes and it looks like it ought, except the links are expanded from the usual embedded link, as follows and the entire thing is an embedded link;

Contributed by @katchicagoe: Leaving Iraq http://www.nytimes.com/in...-iraq.html

From this I can conclude that my system 7 64 computer has some problem or that Tree Notes cannot deal with a copy from Firefox.

Nelson Carvalho (Sorry My English)

I agree with Oliver Steinmetz.

Aml Pages is an excellent product, but it serves different purpose of Tree Notes. I bought the Swift to-do List 7 for a specific job and now I'm buying the Tree Notes to another.

Respecting the need for the work that will be held, the three products are of unquestionable quality.

HJ B HJ B @Novatny
This is a followup to my prior note. I get the same results with Google Chrome as I did with FireFox. However, if I use MS Internet Explorer, formatted text is pasted, except, if it is mixed graphic and text, only the text pastes, and if it is an embedded link, the link is divided into text and url.

In my initial note, I stated there does not appear to be any guide other than the quick start guide , i.e. no pdf or typical help file. Is that correct?

I also note that the search function is limited in various ways. Was that correct? As a footnote to that, the search box that opens to guide the search generally has part of the box hidden on my computer.

Dextronet Nelson: Thanks for your kind words and support!

HJ B: Thanks for your insights. Support for HTML pasting will be added in the next update. (Internet Explorer, Word, etc copy the text as rich-text (RTF), which is supported now.) The Help file will be added after that. However, even now, the program is VERY easy to use, so there is not much need for it. Also, we provide fast and friendly support.

The only non-obvious thing are notes shortcuts, which are the same as in Swift To-Do List. You can see an overview here: http://www.dextronet.com/...-overview/

Dextronet Florian: I can see how that could be useful. However, we would have to probably redesign the export process - as of now, the batch export to HTML is done into a single file. But batch exporting notes into plain text in a single file is not probably what most people want - I suppose it would have to be 1 file per 1 note. I will think about this, and perhaps collect some more feedback. But generally, yeah, we will never stop improving the program :)

ddalian 1. Are there any plans to offer the sync option for Treenotes like the one offered with your other product ToDo-Desklist? Being able to share a single note database between the various computers I use daily would be great.
2. The policy as stated here says the software is licensed per user. (Single user on multiple computers). After I purchased the software in the registration area it says Single user for one computer. As someone who uses several computers but only one at a time am I able to install the software on all four computers as long as I am the only user?

Dextronet Hi Duane,

1. Yes, Tree Notes will definitely have Sync feature in the not-so-far future!

2. Tree Notes is actually licensed per user and computer. So there is a mistake in the BDJ Policy box. That said, we will honor what is written there - so YES, you can install it on all four computers, as long as you are the only person using the program.

Steven Avery Hi,

Any possibility of the addition of tabs in the future ?

(Note: I'm a likely 2AM buyer either way.)

I realize that the ease of setting up tabs up depends a lot on the particular programming tools you are using, and it is far from trivial.

Appreciate the discussion about the RTF-HTML questions. I rarely do a mix mode, so for me the existing abilities are reasonable.

On the search, cross-database support would be unusual (this is one reason I like tabs, lessening the need for multiple databases). It does sound like cross-note support could be a bit more elegant, but is sufficient.

Shalom,
Steven

Dextronet Steven: Yes, tabs are definitely a possibility. However, it would probably be 1 tab = 1 database. Cross-database search would be possible, too.

Dextronet - Dec 18 2011 at 11:52pm Copy Link

Steven Avery Hi,

A tab being equivalent to a database is ok. That is largely how they are naturally used. One Tab might be personal daily notes, another Business stuff, another Bible, etc. The point is that when they are all on the explorer tree, it gets too complex over there. And nobody wants many multiple databases to open/close through a complex process. If you handle that through tabs, ok as long as response time is not bad.

Ok, I went ahead. Mainly because the program is pleasant, the developer is helpful and it may go well with Swift To-Do. I may find it a bit simple for some uses (e.g. one program even has tables and spreadsheets) but generally notes are simply .. notes. Like with Swift To-Do .. crisp design was a major plus. The fact that Swift is a keeper allows a piggy-back approach.

The Bits low $ pain aspect also helps. A lot.

I would like you to consider a "save printout" option. (e.g. these four notes, in that format). That is rare, and is a major need. If you work with notes to print out a daily this and that, you want to be able to save that configuration.

Retired Engineer To speed up searches on large note databases, I have the following questions ... 1) Does TreeNotes support Tags and Tag-only searches? 2) Does TN support color-coded note categories, which may be in several different tree branches at once? Can TN search on *only* the text or tags in a single note color category?

Software Guy Very good price for TreeNotes. Most users like Dextronet because of their top quality programs ( also swift ToDo and fastPaste which is coming soon) and excellent customer support.
One potential issue you might have is their per computer licensing. Many of us have desktops and laptops which would require 2 licenses. And a per computer license is tough for a laptop as there is usually only 1 user, or at least 1 main user anyway. SoTreeNotes becomes more attractive at this reduced price.
I do use TreeNotes and like it quite a bit. I first thought the icons were just flashy, but have really come to like the icons to sort folders out. I especially like the colored NUMBER icons as subfolders - they really help.
I also use several other Note programs and will mention 2 - my other favorites are TexNotes from gemX - well worth checking out and loaded with features, and AllMyNotes which is very straightforward and has great customer support. i should mention in the battle of the Notes software that gemX is licensed per user, which is useful if you have multiple machines - gemX allows a user 4 installs before writing to them. It also sports a regular price of under $20, making it a competitor with TreeNotes even at this reduced price. AllMyNotes is usually at 30% discount everyday on BDJ, and sometimes it is offered at greater discounts and is licensed per user.
These programs are similar in concept and similar in usage, with TexNotes and TreeNotes clearly battling for top honors under this type of software. if you have a specific need then check each carefully to make sure it will do exactly what you need. i give TexNotes an edge in internet/HTML notetaking, and it looks like TreeNotes has an edge in documents - docx, pdf export and search and replace - applications.
One other option to consider especially for internet intensive applications/notetaking is GoldGinko's CaptureSaver as a good way to take notes especially where the internet is heavily used and lots of graphics are required.
Anyway, if you need a premium note taking software and the license (per computer) suits you, then this is a great deal for an excellent program with top notch developer support. And keep in mind that if you already have Swift ToDo or another PIM/organizer, then you already have the notes function built in and you only need a separate software if you are a heavy notes user.

Garrett Goyette TREENOTES ROCKS!

BEST $10 YOU may ever spend on software, though ClipCache and Clipmate stay open all day long on my pc as well.
could not live without these utility programs.

all the time i watch webinars and demos from internet marketers and others who use notepad temporarily to copy and paste to get work done,..... when they could just use TreeNotes, never bother having to hit save and then still have all their previous work available AND EASY TO FIND to use again

but i have a wishlist as well. ;-) though two thumbs up for the whole list of improvements in the new version

Tabbed interface would be sweet but having a tree in the left hand pane is actually easier and more compact than simply having Tabs in my opinion though i have seen horizontal and vertical code snippet apps that have a simiar feature.
Even better would be to add a TAG or [label] field like gmail so any item could be assigned to many, many categories.
Of course, then it would be nice to SORT according to those TAGS, by DATE, by A to Z and then also be able to return the TREE to whatever custom layout that has accrued over Time.

I literally have thousands of Items, pages, subfolders,etc.

Treenotes rocks. I have been using it for about a year now. I leave it open all day long and often use it more than 100 times a day.
Sure, i have ultra recall, surfulator, Tabbles (just starting to use that)

btw think i will copy this whole review and paste it into a Treenote subfolder for software REVIEWS or should i add a subfolder to my Treenote folder inside my purchased Desktop software folder. hmmm! see what i mean about having Tags and Categories. ;-)

think i may just buy a second copy

MK Your website says TreeNotes can import and export DOCX.
How is this done?
I've downloaded the v2.67 trial and I don't see import, and export only seems to support HTML.
And it is possible to search in the Notes for text, is it possible to search the Tree?
It would be great if these could be clarified, as I would like to be able to use TreeNotes together with Swift To-Do.
Thanks in advance.

VLM Nico - "LOL Binkie, I think it has a few other uses than that - and also you could check your grocery list on your smartphone ;-)" ... Good one!

The write-up, above, says "numbered bullet lists, multi-level lists (outlines)". I use numbered lists and I use bulleted lists, but never a numbered bulleted list. :) Does this statement mean that both are now available? And by "outlines", do you mean that one can open/close the display of portions by clicking, or of a whole level? For example, in this item, display on the the first 2 levels? That would be a real outlining capabiltiy, I think.

Charlie N I'll jump into the chorus of positive Tree Note users.

I have been using it for 8 months (I also their Swift T-DO List program for more formal and strategic planning and thinking). Treenotes is always open on my PC also and is totally stable, small footprint and has never caused an issue under my Windows 7 install on a Dell Lattitude.

PLUS - in those 8 months I have gotten 7 upgrades. Jiri and his team do not sit around, they keep improving the product and putting it in the user community's hands.

A great value for a great product!

Mark Johnson @Garrett - "Tabbed interface would be sweet but having a tree in the left hand pane is actually easier and more compact than simply having Tabs in my opinion"

Typically in a note-taking program that has a tabbed interface, each tab represents a different tree in the same database. i.e. you might have 2 tabs at the top, one for "Todo" and one for "Research". When you click the 'Todo' tab, the tree at left shows your todo items. When you click the 'Research' tab, the tree at left shows items you are researching. Then you decide you want to also start recording notes on gardening. You simply add a new tab for "Gardening", and then in the same database you have a new tree for recording gardening info.

Some notes applications handle this by allowing 'Hoisting'. With 'Hoisting' you technically only have one tree, but you can select any node in the tree and 'hoist it' and put it in its own tab. Then you have one tab that shows all of your tree, and another tab that only shows the portion of the tree that you hoisted.

I'm just curious about why you use both Tree Notes AND Swift To-Do? I just purchased Swift To-Do this past week and I am just learning to use it, but why have both? I'd love an example or two!!

In reading your "about" help pages, where it talks about importing Tree Notes into Swift To-Do, it says "Swift To-Do List has all features of Tree Notes, and many extra."

I use ClipMate as a clipboard capture feature, which would allow me to copy/paste into Swift Notes, but would Tree Notes be better for some reason?

Thanks!

VLM Jiri, thank you for responding to my various questions.

I have a suggestion. If the statement "Swift To-Do List has all features of Tree Notes, and many extra" is correct, then next time around perhaps offer Tree Notes first, then a month or so later offer an upgrade from that to Swift To Do.

Just a thought to consider. :)

Charlie N @DroidLuvr -

I too bought Switt To-Do and then Tree Notes. I found Tree Notes to just be faster to do a quick note and keep going than Swift. Then I integrate longer term projects into Swift when I do my plan thinking. I use Tree Notes to offload my mind, grab the quick thought, task, grocery list etc.

Some things get done quickly and never make it into Swift like emails too send and phone calls.

On the flip side, I have all sorts of lists in Swift - birthdays, movies i want to rent as well as detailed work and career project plans.

I find hat they complement each other.

Hope that helps,
Charlie

Garrett Goyette @mark, can you give me an example of one of these Tabbed interface Note apps. I would like to check one out to see how that is implemented.

@Charlie, i too find that TreeNotes is a great complement to programs Above and Below. It fits a little Niche of power, simplicity and versatility which is why i load it on boot and leave it open all day I have multiple monitors and if i am really using it frequently, i leave it ON TOP floating. In my case I use an infinite Clipboard like clipmate or clipcache to literally catch everything I copy during a day, then copy more pertinant, permanent info into TreeNotes, {like License keys, Receipts, etc] and again like you integrate some of that data into a larger PIM type program.

At $14.95 for 3 licenses today, i think i will pick up legit copies for my other desktop and laptop

Mark Johnson The statement, "Swift To-Do List has all features of Tree Notes, and many extra" is very misleading.

If you go to the website for Swift To-Do List, there is an 'Editions' tab that explains the features of each edition of Swift To-Do list.

Ok, now go to the top of this page and look at the bold text that explains all the new features in Tree Notes. These new features of Tree Notes are only available in the 'Ultimate' version of Swift To-Do List, which costs $149.95 for a single license.

I was thinking about purchasing Swift To-Do list until I noticed that the only differences between the 'Professional' version and the 'Ultimate' version are already in the much cheaper Tree Notes product. In fact, Tree Notes costs less than the difference between 'Professional' and 'Ultimate', but Tree Notes has in it all the differences between 'Professional' and 'Ultimate' Swift To-Do. That contradiction makes me very wary of the product.

Dextronet Thank you all for commenting. Regarding the Tree Notes and Swift To-Do List it's true that the spell checker and multi-level numbered lists are only available in the Ultimate edition. However there are more differences between the Professional and Ultimate such us 100 more tree icons and features enhancing the "to-do list" aspect of the program, that Tree Notes doesn't have. Also we are working on new features for all three editions and special features only for the Ultimate edition as well.

Mark Johnson @Garrett - you wanted an example of note software with tabs. Software where each tab gives you a different treeview within the same database -- Rightnote is an example, and so is TreeDBNotes.

Dierk Tree Notes seems competent enough in and of itself - but it appears that the same author has a more robust application: Swift To-Do List.

Alas, pricing ("MSRP") seems rather high on Swift To-Do, and as neither product (as yet...) offers a Mobile Solution, neither of them are compelling.

Also, do not see any mention of an ability to SYNC Tree Notes databases between 2 (or more) devices. Vendor website mentions the option of MERGING two Tree Notes databases - but that requires doing so via Swift To-Do List!

Dextronet SFuji, all your data is stored in a local database file. You can think of these database files as of .docx files for Microsoft Word. You always edit/view the file that is open.

So if you always run Tree Notes from the USB drive whenever you're using your desktop or work computer, you'll see all the changes there as the database is on the USB drive.

A suitable solution would be to store your database file in a Dropbox or SkyDrive folder and make it the default database on all of your computers. The only downside is that if you use Dropbox/SkyDrive you can't open the database file from multiple computers at once (you always have to close Tree Notes on one computer before you access the database from another computer). Other than that, it should work flawlessly.

There is currently no custom cloud sync available for Tree Notes. We offer that in Swift To-Do List, which is a much more complex program. It's possible Tree Notes will allow you to sync in the future, not anytime soon though.

Dextronet Ricky, if you deploy it on a flash drive and carry it around then you're fine with one license. However if you wish to keep Tree Notes installed on multiple computers the 1-User-3-PC Pack or multiple licenses come in handy.

Peter, you can only do these actions manually. There are no designated tools for splitting/joining notes. There is a 30 day free trial once you install Tree Notes, so you can take a look.

Matt Hi Jiri,

I found two bugs:

1. The 'Toggle Highlight' / 'Back Color' in the text editor does not toggle to OFF.
Once you turn on highlighting, you can't toggle it off. To turn off the highlighter, you have to click on the Back Color drop-down, click on 'Font Back Color...', select 'white' and then click on 'OK'.

2. (a strange one) The 'Open Calendar' link and button on the bottom left does not work. The tool tip for this link/button speaks of tasks and due dates. When you right-click on this link, you are offered several more options concerning calendars and due dates, and none of them work.

This 'Open Calendar' link & button combo doesn't always appear. It just seems to do its own thing.

I didn't think Tree Notes 3 was even supposed to have a calendar?

I also have installed your Daily To-Do List demo. Maybe they are conflicting.

I tried a clean re-install on my Win 8.1 PC and the same thing happens.

Thank you.

Dextronet Matt, thanks you for your observations. I'll take a look at the highlighting toggle, we should fix it in one of the minor updates.

I can use this as a simple note taker, but it would function better to have a calendar in order to put items for the future in place on a certain date.

And, no, I have no intent to upgrade to one of the Todo programs as I think they are over priced for the basic needs that I have.

We will continue developing the version 4 for at least another year or two.

I am not exactly sure what you mean, but - a tree node here is like a page in a document. I mean a tree node is also a location itself so it's always unique.

Per User When testing the trial of Tree Notes the applications handling of xls spreadsheets was impressive, and we have therefore purchased a few licences for use by students on our XP computers. Students have to take notes and flip between a spreadsheet and a illustrated atlas when counting microrganisms on microscopical slides, where our present atlas is in pdf format.
The atlas can be converted into a docx or html document for import into a note, but as Dextronet state they consider improving Tree Notes perhaps by adding other tree node types where display of pdf files as nodes could be a suggestion for a further improvement.We look forward to integrate Tree Notes into our workflow.

I have tried many flowchart programs, and none of them appear to have this ability -
Create a shape, with a small caption, and attach a hidden note.
Some of the flow chart programs do attempt that, but their notes are too small.
Your notes could be the same size as the flow chart, and be stored as children of the flow chart.
Mousing over the Note icon will show the full note (there could be a close 'button' that we can mouse over)
Clicking the Note Icon, will open the child to allow editing.

Thanks,

Dextronet Hello.

Thank you very much for all your questions.

There is an autosave feature and automated backups as well, but we always recommend performing periodical backup manually or with a backup software too. The practical size limit depends mainly on your computing power and memory. We have users with databases which have several gigabytes. Regarding the collaboration feature - Swift To-Do List, which includes all the Tree Notes features is capable of running on network with our Cloud Sync which also allows you to share databases and collaborate.

Tree Notes should run on Windows 10. If you have a license for version 4, you can use it for the latest 4.xx version as well.

Sara User Where's "Zoom"? (Not in the "View" menu, right?) I installed the trial, and on my modern (but not even 4k) screen, the (10 point default) characters were minuscule. Then: Where's the help file? Under the "Help" menu, I just found a 4-page (and these are minuscule pages!!!) "Quick Start Guide".

Without some sort of zoom for modern screens (i.e. anything above 1024x768), this program is unusable (since if you resize your font size to something around 14 points, any export/printing will be affected, accordingly).

And, please, Jiri, if this font size problem cannot be resolved for 4.xxx, please devise 5.xxx in a way that I'll be able to trial it anew. I had thought that at the price, this program would be a no-brainer, as some additional tool to my regular work-flow, and indeed it would be, but not with minuscule font size on 90 p.c. of today's screens, but then, perhaps I just overlooked this screen font resizing feature; I very much hope so. (And yes, help should extend 4 very tiny "pages" indeed and in general.)

Richard User I tried to install this program (trial version) 6 different times. I finally got it installed but by then I was so P.O.'d, I said "the heck with it" and uninstalled it. Why in the world does it install itself to %LocalAppData% instead of to Program Files like normal programs do? (And is it a 64 bit app? If not, it belongs in Program Files (x86).) For security reasons, I don't allow un-whitelisted executables to run from %LocalAppData%. In order to install to Program Files, you have to "Run [the installer] as Administrator", but in that case, you can't have Revo Uninstaller log the installation. The functionality may be great, but I won't spend any more of my time trying to use an ill-behaved app like this. I wasted enough time already. (PS- I likely would have purchased the app if things had gone better.)

Dextronet Hello @Richard. Thank you for your comment. LocalAppData is a standard location for per-user installations (the Program Files folder is for per-machine installations). Since our licensing is per-user based, it makes sense to install into local app data. Also, this way the setup doesn't need elevated privileges (Run as Admin) so that makes the installation safer and easier. Many high-profile apps are installing into local app data, so it's not some obscure idea of our own :).

It's not high DPI-aware, which on my configuration means it's either completely blurry, or with an impossibly small interface and degraded fonts. They have never corrected this, and probably never will.

The free version has not been updated since 2016, and always lags behind the paying version update-wise. The interface seems straight out of Windows 3.1, or XP to be charitable, when it was fashionable to have dozens of different frames on-screen, arranged in no particular way, and bury the user under a thousand commands all visible at once, because the more complex you seemed to be, the better.

Also, the colours are truly horrible, back from the day we had maybe five primary hues to choose from, each was individually ugly and they were even uglier when displayed together.

Finally, the publisher has never made the transition to mobile apps. Linkman is desktop-only. I don't particularly mind, but that would be a deal-breaker for many users.

Jan-Christoph Ihrens @Adolphe: Okay, my main (27") monitor has a resolution of 2560 x 1440, so I didn't notice the problems with HiDPI screens.

I didn't talk about Linkman Lite (the free version), but Linkman Pro, so I guess the remarks about the free version don't belong here.

I'm not quite sure what your problem is regarding the interface. You don't like an icon bar? Hide it. You don't need the input fields at the top? Hide them. I find them practical, though.

Apart from these elements, I have a tree view at the left and a search pane at the right side. Not dozens of frames, just that, and arranged in a way that doesn't make the impression of being random.

Most of the time I even don't use Linkman's main window at all. It comes with a desktop bar that is sufficient when searching for a bookmark. I almost only open the main window when adding bookmarks.

The colors are the standard Windows colors, mostly grey and white. Maybe you mean the colors used for the ratings, but those can be customized to any colors you like.

There's no app, that's right. But you didn't mention that as a prerequisite, and as it seems, you don't need one. I recommended Linkman Pro to you, not to anyone who might have other needs. As I said, it does what you asked for, and it does it well. I'm sorry that there are problems on a HiDPI monitor that I didn't notice. Did you contact Outertech and asked if there's a solution (or a plan for solving the issue)?

Out of interest: Which software do you recommend? If there is a better one, I might switch to it - I'm always interested in better solutions. Until now I didn't find any, and taking into account that you asked here, I guess you haven't found the perfect solution yet, too...

Adolphe @ Jan-Christoph Ihrens - There's no proper bookmark manager out there. That's my whole point. The category has died long ago. It has migrated online, which is against my religion, for privacy and security reasons.

You might, however, be interested to check a program I just discovered today, called Rons Web Lynx. It's probably not (yet) as powerful as Linkman (Linkman Pro and Lite have the same fundamental drawbacks), but it's new, and therefore modern and growing.

I asked the question about Tree Notes being possibly used as a bookmark manager, because I once came across a user who solved the problem by using an old-fashioned, tree-based note application (not this one).

High DPI non-awareness is a huge, documented problem with many Windows programs. You'd recognise it immediately if you were affected. It completely breaks your interface in various ways. You don't need a high DPI monitor to suffer from it. Mine is lower-resolution than yours. It's 24", 1920 x 1200. However, I need to set DPI at 150 % in Windows 7 because of my eyesight, and that's what makes it imperative that programs be high DPI-aware.

Google "windows high dpi aware", you'll find some highly technical articles explaining why this is a problem (Microsoft and application developers are both to blame). As a rule, it's older programs (such as Linkman) that tend to fail in this respect. Newer programs are usually better behaved.

Jan-Christoph Ihrens @Adolphe: Yes, I know about the problems that the absence of a HiDPI feature can cause. I just didn't notice it because I'm not affected by it (though my eyes are not the best, too - I'm 51 ;-) ). You're absolutely right that modern software should take this into account.

Regarding bookmark managers: I don't like cloud-based ones either, for the same reasons as you, plus they aren't as fast as a local solution. That's why I stick with Linkman Pro (and because I'm still satisfied with it). It has all the features I need.

Thanks for the tip regarding Rons WebLynx; I'll check it out as soon as I find some time. But I'm so used to Linkman's desktop bar that every other software would have to be quite a bit better than Linkman...

Redstar333 I have paid for this software but the order seems to be processed by a 3rd party so is subject to some unspecified checks before they will complete the order.

Dextronet Hello Sidney. I am sorry for the trouble! Almost every order is processed immediately. Our payment processor performs standard checks on every purchase and very rarely it detects something odd and a human needs to check the payment manually. Therefore the delay. I am very sorry if this was a false alarm.

Kelly Hamblin Installed to check out the functions. However, I find I have more questions and the application has no help file, only the Quick Start Guide. If there is more help, please tell me where to find it. One thing I would like to know is what a search actually searches. Is it a global search - by that I mean notes in the entire tree, not the attachments - or will it only search the note I have open?

Two of my notes have wide, black bars at the top and force me to type about an inch down the page. A margin, I am guessing, but since there is no help available, I don't know how to rid myself of it.

The program give no choice of where to install. Instead it installs in what I find a very odd place: Users\UserMe\AppData\Local\Tree Notes. Likewise files are stored, not where I would like them, but in yet another odd place.

SO -I am using the trial version I suppose, and I would like to know if I pay for a license does a help file magically appear?

I would love being able to drag and drop files and emails into the app. That is a huge plus, but missing Help, having no choice where to install, and not being able to determine how Search works is definitely a problem.

Mike Shanahan Tree Notes is ok — for 2016. There is a long list of things the program doesn’t support because - in technology - five years is an eternity. That’s just the way it is. No modifications for five years also makes you wonder about commitment to the product. Looks like that Swift app gets all the attention from the developer. Good questions have been asked too - but no response for the entire first day on BDJ. These things matter. Pass.

Dextronet Hi all and thank you for your interest!

We don't have a dedicated Cinta Notes import, but you can configure a CSV import and map all the supported fields.

Generally speaking, 15,000 notes is not a problem for our database engine, but since every note has its own icon in the left-side notes tree, I assume it would be too much.

It's true that we focused on Swift To-Do List, but we have several updates already going through our QA for Tree Notes. Please stay tuned! You are also always welcomed to try our full-blown full-featured Swift To-Do List :)

If you need to access notes from both PC and Android, our Swift To-Do List can do that. It is also being regularly promoted here on BDJ. It includes all the features of Tree Notes and much more in a powerful, yet elegant and easy-to-use package.

soo mi Dextronet, while I did decide to purchase Tree Notes, I must say that I AM VERY disappointed in your payment processor, BMT. While their order processing/invoice page showed the PayPal icon (at the bottom of the page) as one the payment methods they accept, there was no actual way to select PayPal as my method of payment. Having been hit in the past with fake charges against my account, after a major US retailer was hacked, I try to make all of my online purchases thru PayPal. I dithered over buying your app until the last minute, but chose to so in the end. I would ask you, as the vendor, to please talk to BMT, and find out why they show PayPal as an accepted method of payment, yet do not make it possible to actually select PayPal when placing the order.

Dextronet Hi soo mi!

I am sorry for the trouble!

I've checked the checkout page. There is a "Payment method" select-box in the first step (under "Review your cart"), where you can select from a variety of different payment methods, including PayPal. I am not sure what happened during your order, but I want to apologise! Maybe the select-box is easy to overlook, or maybe if you're from outside US, BMT might have disabled PayPal in your country for some reason. We will investigate the issue.

Thank you for the purchase!
