General brainstorming for Note-taking software
dr_andus:
As I'm looking through the programs I have, I find few that will take clips from documents and record the source document with the clip. The three I have found are CH+S, Cinta Notes and Zoot.
I was wondering whether there are any others that people use regularly that can do that?

Both Surfulater and WhizFolders can do that. In Surfulater you can use a hotkey for "New Article from Clipboard" and it records the file path as "reference", while in Whizfolders there is even an auto-paste option, and it's optional whether you want to record the file path as "location."
Out of the two, I found that Surfulater is better at handling large amounts of clippings of different types (webpages, images, documents), while WhizFolders has slowed down considerably, once images have been pasted in, so I stopped using it for that. WhizFolders is more like Scrivener, in the sense that it's better for writing and organising textual notes than using them as notes databases.

I've found atlantis to be killer for notes. Having the filesystem do indexing and versioning is the right way. You are not locked in, and the features for writers are beyond anything I've seen. Totally worth paying for, and displacing scrivener.

I'm finding that a difficult search topic - any links?

@tomos: I googled "Atlantis note-taking software" and got a lot of links, some of them look like dubious download sites for what seemed to be non-existant versions (per the real author's site, when I found it) of Altlantis.
One of these sites said it was "Rising Sun Solutions Inc." the author's site, except you could see it wasn't their site.
I finally found what looked like the real author's site by googling "Rising Sun Solutions Inc." and it is: http://www.atlantiswordprocessor.com/en/
Looks like an interesting product wth a 30-day free trial before the licence expires - Registration is US$35.00.
Some of the dubious links:

tomos:
^oh, so he's talking about the word-processor (thanks for the finding btw!)
I presumed it was something different if it's going to replace Scrivener :-\
@urlwolf, I'd be curious to hear more about how you use it
