General Software Discussion / Re: General brainstorming for Note-taking software
« on: June 09, 2006, 05:00 PM »(One question, nevf...what's the difference between the 2nd button which shows "no articles", and the 1st button where you can turn the articles off? I don't see a difference.)The first button "normal" shows the tree in the state you've set. ie. With whatever folders you've expanded or collapsed. There are also the options to hide/show all articles in this tree view or just the articles in a selected folder. The second button shows every folder and doesn't show any articles. ie. The tree view is fully expanded. This view lets you quickly locate a folder.
Anyway, like I said, it's the best implementation of a tree in all the main softwares in this genre.The Surfulater tree has been designed and written (by me) to be very flexible and fast which you can easily see by the various tree views. I'll be adding more views and filters in future.
OK, I was just doing some preparation for this summary, and I decided to try Zoot out again.I've looked at Zoot several times and just don't get it. It has a loyal and enthusiastic following with folks hanging on for a modern version. One day the penny might drop. SB maybe you can summarize what Zoot is about in your eyes.
Being a Dr. File Finder pick probably gave it a boost.
Dr. FF is a Surfulater fan and uses it himself. See: http://www.tucows.com/article/848 and http://blog.surfulater.com/2006/03/31/surfulater-a-dr-file-finder-tucows-favorite/
