  1. I would love to be able to search my TheBrain thoughts with the MacOS spotlight search and when clicking on a result to open it up in TheBrain. This would help my workflows tremendously. Please upvote.

  2. When watching presentations in meetings or webinars, I often want to repeatedly screen capture into notes. Sometimes slides are moving fast and I don't have time to drag the screen shot window evertime.
    As a user, I would like to have a command that Repeats Previous Screenshot and adds to current note.

    This is discussed here

  3. Document Generation including Icons. This would allow the rapid creation of eBooks and more quality for created Documents.

  4. The 'workaround' of taking a screenshot and printing it is NOT suitable. I want to be able to natively print the mind map, several levels deep, on to A3 so it can be added to hardcopy report packs. To get all levels in a screen shot means zooming out, and then taking the screenshot, pasting it into something else and then scale it up to A3. This results in a really poor quality output.

  5. If not explicitly overridden subtypes inherit the attributes (i.e. color, icon) of their super type.
    The same should happen with tags and subtags.

    1. Have a text box to add some text at the bottom of AI generated content. For me it would be "Generated by $model on $date". Ideally those would fill in

    2. For Length of AI, a slider is not a good interface. Replace with Radio buttons giving easy access to different lengths. See screen shot
      https://forums.thebrain.com/post/feedback-word-count-on-ai-9841-9930-9931-12744381

    3. Add a checkbox to optionally have AI add a Wikipedia link and maybe some other common ones. I often type this in and its helpful to get this link automatically.

  8. For a thought type - e.g. Citation I would like to have a citation MD which will be preperated like a formula
    Author:
    Titel:
    Pages
    etc.

    This should be the default MD for the specific type.

    Or a possibility to create Default MDs for special thoughts, which could be added via Add Attachment/Add Special MD File. The default blank MD File should be replaced with this special md file

    The default MD file should be replaced, with the MD type file, because I would like to see it clicking on the thought without the necessity of a further selection.

  13. Custom Instructions are like standing instructions to the AI tool that apply to every prompt. OpenAI calls them Custom Instructions, you might use a different name like default or something. For me I would dictate a style of response and the use of bullets.

  14. We can assign backgrounds to thoughts using the Typing system (meh), but you have to be careful that all backgrounds work with within the applied theme (or else your text might become ineligible). That's because the theme is applied globally, while backgrounds are not.

    The solution is to allow themes on a finer grained scale, like at the typing system level (to match backgrounds as it work now) or on selected thoughts basis.
