OUCH guys! In response to TOMAS: I tried out and purchased the previous version of MyInfo - after trying at least ten other information managers. Yes, I did know formatting was limited and decided to buy it anyway. I cannot claim to be an optimist but, given the world of PIMS out there, I did hold a...

My 3.59 installation was only one day old and didn't have anything in it. I uninstalled it and installed 3.6. The installation went smoothly. Then I imported few documents from a windows folder into an existing topic (which was tiny leftover from trial version). After the import, I noticed an error...

I agree and have said the same thing. I'm getting tired of hearing about Version 4. Seems like Version 4 is going to have everything I thought I was getting when I purchased the version I have. This is a costly little app for what it offers in the way of formatting. Why would I want to buy the new v...

Careful. Wait for the update instructions. Since I upgraded to 3.59 by installing over my previous version I've had nothing but problems. I've been checking this website hoping to hear how everyone is faring with 3.6 before even considering downloading it myself for fear of even more disasters. Let ...

I agree. I'm a little confused too, was just hoping I'd get used to it. I would like it to look pretty much like you suggested but leave out the "DB" I vote for this: Topic should be called a "File" Document should be called "Topic" Page should be called "Document&...

Upgrading

I'm still using MyInfo 3.56. I have had bad experiences upgrading to new versions of programs so have become cautious about doing so. Features I like suddenly disappear, the app becomes unusable or, my worst nightmare, I find that my workspace is now eaten up by one, two or even three big panels. (W...

No, Paul, you cannot change the default editor pane font, except by doing it for each and every document. You can create a new Style but you will not be able to find it except in the topic where you created it so you will have to repeat this process over and over again-endlessly. Neither can you mak...

Individual preference I would think. I'm using MyInfo to store research. Several times I've decided to split a large topic. One of the things I appreciate about this app is the ease with which that can be accomplished. Also, since it saves my workspace and I can have so many topics open-and visible-...

Sorry Petko, No it doesn't work for me. That was my point. Changing the "Normal" font for every topic, every document and every subdocument is cumbersome, time consuming and frustrating. And, as I've already pointed out, it is the most common of options offered by other applications.

Customizing

Before I complain, let me first say that I tried every available information manager I could find to use for my research notes and I chose MyInfo. It has some wonderful features and it handles web pages like none other. Ditto for graphics. Now then, here is my wish list: Icons, please. Preferably lo...

I too have struggled with the default font. It cannot be changed except to make a new "style" which you then have to choose each time a new document is opened, not an improvement over choosing my preferred font with each new document. It is hugely irritating. Every other Information Manage...
