Please do not make Brain locations fixed in TheBrain 9
A reply was given on another suggestion that implied that in Version 9 the user will not be able to choose the storage directory for their Brain.
Please do not implement this. It will make it impossible to store my brain files on a USB stick or on a corporate shared drive. It will also cause problems on systems with unusual hard disc set ups or UNIX machines where directories are mounted differently.
I appreciate that your intention is probably to drive people onto your synchronisation service but sometimes this cannot be used for other reasons, such as confidentiality of…

Copy Thought Folder Address to the OS Clipboard (EASY and Beneficial)
I believe the following would be VERY easy to add
Currently, when you select a thought, you can go to the “Thought” tab and select “Open Thought Folder” (or Ctrl-Shift-F). This action opens the OS explorer on the selected thought folder. This feature is handy to drag-and-drop files into the thought folder. This feature is NOT handy for saving files that are already open.
When files are already open in other apps, you can’t drag-and-drop them, but you can save them. An example is an attachment from an Email, or any document you created from an app such as Word…

Disable editing of thought when out of focus.
... or change the layout or make another design so that the following does not happen
When I want to edit the thought name the cursor might move over another thought (name field is very close to recent thoughts anyway)
and I edit the wrong thought without realizing at first what happened. After I move the cursor again it is difficult to fix this action.An undo shortcut can also come in handy in this case and several others.
8 votesTheBrain 9’s design fixes this issue.

Implement local sync for iOS / Android fast
• Security
• Portability
• EconomyCorporate cloud services are limited with todays limited bandwidths, unstable mobile connections. And, local storage is far more affordable - and if needed can be made accessible very easy if needed.
Not offering local sync simply is a no go.

Make TheBrain iPhone app usable offline
The TheBrain iPhone app is a good idea but currently it's nearly unusable because it hits the internet for every single operation, including just navigating between thoughts or adding a new thought. This can be very slow and run up data charges. Please make the iPhone app usable offline once a subscription has been verified. Cloud-based brains should be synchronised opportunistically in the same way they are in the desktop app.

Thoughts Time-Machine Snapshots and Time-Machine Snapshots Scroll Bar
In the real world, it is often the case that associations between people or entities change with time. For example if an employee was assigned to different project, or a member of a board retires, etc.
Thoughts describing these associations must reflect the real worl. So if an employee was assigned to a different project, the thought representing the employee will be linked to the thought representing the new project, and the link connecting the employee to the old project will be deleted.
But what if changes of these associations were valuable information. What if it is important to know…
9 votesWhile not exactly what was requested, TheBrain 9 does include History feature that shows every change that was made to a Thought over time (what thoughts were unlinked, name changes, label changes, etc.).

in-line images in notes
The fact that images only seem to be able to captured in thoughts as attachments is a HUGE oversight...
Yes you can have one per thought as some sort of preview but to adequately explain a concept I want to be able to have inline images separated by text.
Evernote does this perfectly well which is why I have failed in my attempts to move away from it. This is a real shame because TheBrain's structure /visual mind mapping aspect is it's real selling point.
Nothing depresses me more to see that this basic UI requirement hasn't even made it…

An option for the Font SIZE to shrink as it gets farther away from the active thought. They are called DISTANT thoughts, yes?
REASON: If a thought is distant it would have a smaller and faded (but readable) presence compared with the active thought.
I believe earlier versions of TheBrain had this.
EXAMPLE: Active Thought: Font size = 16, 1 thought away = 14, two thoughts away 12, three thoughts away 10, Four = 8.
And make the HUE fade towards grey the farther away the thought is.
12 votesBoth fading and sizing of distant thoughts are included in the preferences.

Create compatibility with Dragon NaturallySpeaking speech recognition software
Currently it's not possible to use Dragon NatuallySpeaking speech recognition software to input thoughts, text or instructions. This would be an enormous timesaver for inputting information and updating the Brain.

develop a Personal Brain iPhone App
I had posted this as an idea but was not clear that I expected an iPhone App that could Synch with "Brains in the Cloud" Thus having Cloud based Brains is a key step but did not "Complete" My original idea. An iPhone App would be able to take full advantage of the iPhone UI and Multi Finger controls.
Thus the repost

add an "open attachment" option to the context menu when you right click a thought
this would allow you to launch files attached to a thought that did not have center stage or focus. This would be very helpful to me when viewing all thoughts related to a particular TAG, which I find useful for project management. That way you do not have to change the thought layout just to open an attachment
1 voteTo do this, just click on the attachment icon instead of the thought’s name.

Make ENTER key activatie the first found thought in instant search list instead of extended search
Currently the ENTER key opens the extended search. While a nice feature I use it a lot less then the instant search and select an thought from the found results list.
I prefer to have the ENTER key open the first thought in that list than opening the much less used extended search.
The extended search would still be available by using TAB key and then the ENTER key so it is more a choose which might by optional in the preferences.

Access Notes for more than one thought at a time
To allow comparison of notes associated with different Thoughts it would be good if it were possible to opt for selection two or more thoughts at one time and to then display all the associated Notes for those thoughts.

Multi-level tags
Currently, tags are only differentiated by the name of the tag, there is no heirarchy or classification of tags. If at least two levels of tags were available, lots of functionality becomes available. For example, you could have a tag type of 'Release date', and then have the tag specify a date. You could in this way also implement what some have asked for in the 'Timeline' request(s). This is just one example of the possibilities.

Link to PB with thought URL in another application
