| I've tried many PIM, note-taking(outliner), web clipping software, like Surfulater, EverNote, Info Select, InfoHandler, myBase, KeyNote, TreePad, Onfolio, General Knowledge Base, Ultra Recall, SQLNotes(new software), Omea, Treeline, and Web Research etc(ps:all these official websites can be searched out by Google). So far I think MyInfo is most suited to me. This great software meets most of my requirements.However, compared to the softwares I've mentioned previously, MyInfo lacks some important features as following:
1.Feature request: trigger Suggestion from: SQLNotes Explanation: A column could trigger another one. This concept is from Database Theory, and most modern RDBMS have such feature.
2.Feature request: timeline view Suggestion from: Surfulater Explanation: Showing all Articles in the order they were created.In Surfulater, this is called Chronological tree. This feature is the same with archives of blog system. Demo or picture: http://www.surfulater.com/overview.html
3.Feature request: category Suggestion from: Evernote,Omea,Web Reasearch Explanation: Allowing you to categorize documents within multiple category, which can be imagined as "hierarchy tag". Although this feature can be achieved by the built-in column type "category" or clone feature, the interface is not good to manage. Demo or picture: http://www.evernote.com/products/evernote/how_to/demo/basics.html http://www.macropool.com/en/products/webresearch/tour/organize_documents.htm
4.Feature request: count column Suggestion from: Ultra Recall Explanation: A column recording how many times some document has been viewed for statistical use. And then filter the most hot documents in today, past 1 week, or past 1 month etc according to count column.
5.Feature improvement request: related document Suggestion from: myBase,Ultra Recall Explanation: We can insert hyperlink into a document and then "Link to Document in This Topic" to establish relation between these two documents. But how do I know current document have any document linking to it? And if any, how do I find which document was linked to current document?
Thanks to read so long article. ![Very Happy](images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif) |

| Thank you for your suggestions. Just a few words on two of them:

I think that you could accomplish this very close to what Surfulater does, by creating a new filter for all documents (Document Title | Is Not Empty criterion) and selecting Group By | Created On | Descending. This will show all documents in the topic, grouped by date (or week if they are old) and sorted from the newest to the oldest one.

We have considered this option in the past, however it is not possible to that without creating too much of a hassle for the user, because in order to store this data, you will have to save every topic you use, each time you use it. And if you use for example 10 topics, you will have to decide if to save each of them every time you close the application. |
