+1 (as they say)

The ability to open individual documents as separate windows is the one new feature in MyInfo that would be most useful to me.

I'm pleased, too, with several improvements in 5.06, particularly the improved handling of font size in the search results panel. And tiled documents now seem more stable (no crashes so far), but there is still a problem with the search results panel when tiling two or more documents vertically: the...

Petko, thanks for the information. But to go back to my second question: is there a way of enlarging the font used in the search results list?

P.S. -- I tried the experiment of increasing the "Normal" style to 16 pt. Georgia while I was using the Vaio P. That almost works, but not quite. Any locally formatted words (e.g., words in italics, bold, or highlighted) do not change size.

screen font sizes

Petko, over the weekend I bought a Sony Vaio P, primarily for use in note-taking in libraries. Since the Vaio P has a very small screen with extremely high resolution, there are some slight problems in using MyInfo. My normal default screen font in MyInfo is 14 pt. Georgia, but that's still a bit sm...

I just did a quick experiment of exporting a topic as a single HTML file and then accessing it through Dropbox on my iPhone. Not at all satisfactory. It took forever to load, and then I couldn't do searches within the Dropbox browser (which is fairly primitive). For read-only access to my notes, the...

Petko, it's good to hear this explanation, but I'm sorry that there is no easy way out of this dilemma. I was intrigued by your suggestion of creating a website and then accessing it through Dropbox. I hadn't thought of that one. The difficulty, as I see it, is that in the kind of frame-based websit...

I wonder if Petko would care to join in this discussion? I realize that designing for multiple platforms is difficult for any small software outfit, but the example of Evernote is instructive. It now has . . . what? . . . about two million users, I think, and half of them have installed the iPhone a...

An interesting idea, but I must tell you that I am rapidly getting out of my depth here. I'm just a retired professor (slightly nerdy) who still writes books, and my fairly simple need is to consult my MyInfo research notes (which are by now quite substantial) when I'm away from my computer, usually...

Just one small correction: custom keyboard shortcuts do work. Another important key to making this program work well is to resize the MyInfo frame before you leave your computer. A few experiments will show you what looks best on the iPhone. I mention this because it seems to be very difficult to re...

OK, still another experiment in using MyInfo (in some form) on the iPhone. I've just installed an app call NTRconnect, which allows me to open programs and files that are on my computer and edit them from my iPhone. Moving the cursor around on the iPhone screen is a bit awkward at first, but the app...

Petko, thanks for refreshing my memory about OneNote (which I abandoned several years ago).

Next and Previous buttons in the results list would solve the problem very nicely.

search results

I notice that in some note-taking programs -- such as My Notes Keeper and OneNote -- the list of results links to individual occurrences of a word or phrase, not merely to a note/document as whole. That is very helpful if you have long documents, because then you don't have to do a separate search i...

I hope this feature will return; it's extremely useful in editing large topics. Right now I'm struggling to replace a phrase that appears in hundreds of documents.
