[added in mi3] Broader Search and Pane Zoom
Posted: Sat Sep 18, 2004 8:05 pm
Overall I greatly prefer MyInfo to TreePad, but I keep having to sneak back to TreePad for two essential features that I really miss in MyInfo.
One is a search function that searches in both Item Titles and Item Text - it drives me crazy not to be able to search for a particular item, and the search feature is no use at all in an organizational outline with no text.
The other is the ability to zoom full-screen to one pane or the other (Titles/Text) with a single hotkey (TreePad uses F11 and F12, with F10 to restore the two-pane view). Yes, I know I can change pane size by dragging with the mouse and achieve almost the same effect, but when I'm working on an outline I prefer to avoid using the mouse at all if possible - nothing like a mouse-drag interrruption to break one's brainstorming momentum.
Add those two items and the program will be just about perfect....
