Hmm, I'm under time pressure for a project... but here is a quick post
I guess the ideal application that spidey suggested can be achieved
by mixing different existing programs.
Here is my approach.
Note that I don't need to insert figures to text often, so this is a text-based
solution. Not much html either.
(1) editor + outliner: VIM
http://bike-nomad.co...vim/vimoutliner.htmlThis is the fastest way of working with text by far. Vim offers spelling, tab
completion (really key for typing fast ideas), and with the tvo plugin, it is a
wornderfull outliner with different colors for different levels. If you want to
link different docs, then this is also called a personal wiki. I use viki (a vim
wiki) which is really fast. Just type the word in CamelCase, and hit the
shortcut. A new file CamelCase.txt will be created, and you can write to it
inmmediately.
I also use vim to fill any textboxes in opera (mail, and this very same post!)
(2) Search: locate 3,0 beta
Within a doc, I use vim (nice yellow highlighting of all
occurrences, and shortcuts to go to different ones). Across the filesystem,
locate 3,0 beta cannot be beaten.
(3) Html snapshots: Obook for opera (like Scrapbook for ff)
(4) sync and backup: incremental backups with either syncBack or backup4all (now
that I won a license
). I have daily backups with no compression, so I can
see different daily versions, and even compare them using Beyond Compare ...
-please mouser, get us another discount for B C
-
That's my solution currently. total cost: the only pay-for software is the sync
and backup utility. You may not need it... Also, you can show differences in the
notes using vim's own vimdiff and save the B. C. cost. Everything else is free.
