I've just downloaded 4.25 and am pleased with the improvements. In particular, I'm excited about the ability to set the line-spacing in finer increments; it makes a huge difference in the readability of text on the screen.

Yes, I agree: it's slightly awkward when you have several topics open. But what I feel even more strongly about is the need to tile two or more documents within the same topic. I often want to compare two documents in one topic, or to copy information from one to another. That kind of tiling can't b...

Alternatively, is it possible to show two topics side-by-side, and to cut and paste from one to the other quickly and easily?
Yes, open both topics, then Window > Tile Vertically [or Horizontally].

zoom

I feel the need for a zoom feature. I had been fantasizing lately about buying the Sony Vaio Series P miniature laptop, but I have held back because all the reviewers say that its high-resolution screen produces very small screen fonts. In many of my programs -- OpenOffice, for example -- it's easy ...

P.P. -- Just one small further thought. If you could make MyInfo interact with Evernote (which has a published API), I would feel I had arrived in heaven. Then presumably you could use Evernote's Web and mobile-device synching capabilities.

Petko, everyone seems to have a different set of needs. As I said, my main priority is to be able to carry around information on my iPod, even if in read-only format. But here is what I have used for my own purposes: (1) I've been addicted to Evernote since it was a Windows-only program, but -- espe...

Thanks for the suggestion. There are a number of such syncing services (I hear good things about DropBox, for example), but what I would really like is the ability to sync files between a compatible program on my iPod, a Web service, and MyInfo on my computer. I don't need to edit files on the Web o...

I like the idea of syncing with Toodledo. Since I acquired an iPod Touch recently, I've been copying-and-pasting quite a bit of material from MyInfo into Toodledo files so that I can shift them into Notebook (Appigo) files on my iPod. That's rather laborious, and I lose the formatting. In a perfect ...

Petko, for the last day or two the tiling has been working normally. On the other hand, this problem has cropped up sporadically in the past. I assume that makes it harder to diagnose. I will let you know if I see any consistent pattern.

P.S. I forgot to add that the problem is not peculiar to this one topic or this one tag. When I try to tile any two topics, I always get the message "[tag name or names] is not a valid time and date."

tiling problem

Petko, whenever I try to tile two topics, I get the following message -- "'corr' is not a valid time and date" -- and the program crashes. I use "corr" as a tag in one of the topics (short for correspondence), but the message makes no sense to me. Has anyone else reported a simil...

printing multiple documents

I can easily print multiple documents together by control-clicking on the document names in the tree. But sometimes I want to select through a tag the documents to be printed, and in the filter mode it is then impossible to control-click more than one document. I'd like to see that behavior changed ...

zoom

I use both a laptop and a desktop, and I find that a good font size for one doesn't work well for the other, because the screen resolutions are different. I assume this is a problem that many users of MyInfo have. The most straightforward solution would be to have a zoom feature (of the sort found i...

automatic document titles

In many note-taking programs, the first line of a note (i.e. document) automatically becomes its title (in the tree) unless the user decides to revise the title in the tree. I'd very much like to see something like this in MyInfo. Creating a short document in MyInfo seems to take more time than it o...

dynamic tree menu in HTML

The tree menu that is created when we generate a series of linked HTML files is excellent, but for long lists of files it would be much better if the menu were dynamic--i.e. if we could contract or expand the subitems. Could that perhaps be built into exported HTML files in the future? I know that I...
