Okay this is not the brightest thing to do but... . I have been using Ecco for over a dozen years so am very comfortable in using it and my .eco file contains just about everything I know in life. So if I am going to migrate to a new product it will need to be, at least for a time, as close to Ecco as possible. Besides going through the exercise should be a good learning experience.

 

    So I have a week's vacation in front of me and thought I would give the "Make InfoQube Look Like Ecco"-exercise a shot. Any thoughts or suggestions of forum threads to start at?

 

When I insert a link to an item into HTML pane (choose other in the upper box and enter item # in the lower box in hyperlink dialogue box):

1. When the item is in a different grid it doesn't work -- worked only once, taking me to the scratch grid. In order to work it again I need to refresh. Is it by design or is it a bug or I do the hyperlink incorrectly? Please explain.

2. Question -- can this link take me directly to the grid that the item belongs to (meets this grid source) instead of scratch grid?

Greetings

I've been using linked WikiTags, and they're powerful. Instead of tagging an item {XYZ}, I tag it <a {XYZ}>XYZ</a>, which serves not only as an internal WikiTag but also an active link. Click it, and all your {XYZ} tagged items come up in the Scratch grid. This style of tag is also easy on the eyes and amenable to cutting, pasting and abbreviation.

So let's say I've found the item I wanted in Scratch. What's the best way of working with it, not in Scratch but in the grid I started from? And suppose the item is multi-parented, and I'd like to work with it in a particular context, with the parent and siblings connected to the present project? Any obvious way to get there?

I want to put a placeholdercalendar page in regarding the calendar.

Any suggestions where to put it in the existing structure, or add a Section 14?  Or put it in the "grids" section?

 

 

I especially want to get this text in, since it's difficult to search from, and valuable info as to the present state.

(from eta for next beta? )

"Using the Calendar is safe, only thing to keep in mind is that appts must be entered / modified only in the Calendar and not in a grid. Apart from that, it is usable, including alarms and recurring events. No need to redo things when it gets updated."

How do I insert emoticons in a forum post?  (insert embarrassed emoticon here, if I knew how!)

Rumor has it there will be an 'E' release today. Is this true? Will it have the Ultra Recall import tool....

Firstly, I can't BELIEVE how much trying to find simple information about this program is SOOOO hard that I have built up enough tension to explode.

 

WHERE is the FAQ? A forum search is simply not good enough.

 

Why can't I start a new, BLANK file?

 

I expected that I would be able to create an outline that was a little more sophisticated than what WordPerfect can do without having to learn EVERYTHING that the program can do. Doesn't seem that way!

 

Before I go buy WhizFolders I will post this here. If I can't get some reasonable answers then I will toss it, buy WhizFolders and then tell everyone else I know who wants an outliner to use that.

 

How does one create a new, blank file?

 

Secondly, can one not just press a combination of >Enter< and some other key to get a sibling or child subtopic???

I wrote a note in the mantis issue about this.

Was supposed to be fixed but it's not fixed here.

 

(Reported here : Version 0.9.24D is released but... just to make sure as this bug prevents me to use the universal clipper all together.)

has been reported in Version 0.9.24D is released...

But just to make sure.

(Had to revert to previous version because of this one -- and a couple other serious issues... )
