@Telesto Let me answer you questions in reverse order. PROFESSION AND TYPES OF NOTES I am "retired" medical school professor and physician. Retired in quotes because I still volunteer teach and lecture to medical students. My professional notes originate from reading and interpreting medic...

Telesto,

Thank you for taking the time to post such a very thorough and clear response to my questions. I gain much from learning about how others store both their own notes and found information so I do appreciate reading about your approach.

Changing landscape Over the past several years, I have been following the changing landscape of note-taking software programs. I am not a programmer nor a developer but I have needed a note-taking system in my profession. I have used a variety of such note-taking and note-storing programs. Most of t...

Jon, I agree with your observations and expectations. To illustrate, I conducted some experiments with trying to compact MyInfo 7 files: 1. My original file, db-1.mnb, is 3,936 KB in size. 2. I exported db1.mnb to a new MyInfo Notebook, db-2.mnb, which has a 3,944 KB size. 3. Using db2.mnb, I go to ...

Daly, there is no current Calendar view that identifies notes according to date characteristics as there was in MyInfo 6. However, MyInfo 7 does allow you to create additional perspectives beyond a hierachical tree. These perspectives will list and filter notes according to attributes. There are alr...

Telesto, thanks for the quick and clear reply.

In MyInfo 7, when adding a Note based on the External Document template, I am given the option to "Browse for a file to link". According to the MyInfo 7 Help, I can insert the link and "use it to preview a linked file on your computer". My question: Once I have linked the file, s...

I do have Show Paragraph marks turned on in MS Word, but it’s not the paragraph mark that I am talking about. It’s the extra character that precedes it. I call that character a “space” because that single space also shows up at the start of blank line when I export to a TXT file and open it in a pla...

When I write a note and enter a blank line (i.e. I hit keyboard Enter twice), there are no extra characters at the start of the blank line in the MyInfo 7 editor window. However, if I then copy or export that note text, an extra space appears at the start of each blank line. I can illustrate this by...

Larry, I very much appreciate the clear explanations, logical steps and practical advice. You have been of great help. I had not realized that creating a new Category of attributes involved merely typing a new name into Category input box rather than selecting one of the existing default categories....

Having used Milenix MyInfo products for the past 12 years -- from version 4 through version 7, I can safely say that I am not proficient. I have used MyInfo knowledge bases in what I describe as a freeform manner. Using terminology that pertains to version 7, I work mainly with plain Notes. I also k...

I don’t normally store PDFs in MyInfo 7 but I went ahead and tested your findings. I have the same issue that you just noted. It actually occurs in both v7.0.9(6797) and in v7.0.9(6799) (after I updated to the newest version of MyInfo 7.) The PDFs don’t appear in the browser either when I use “Impor...
