BrainBox turned into a Seed Box storage for PKM
I suggest to have a Seed Box for all data that are important to catalog but does not have a proper place just yet.
My Use Case: my marketing work requires me to collect a lot of information (pdf, sheets, docs, slides, video) that might not have clear connection or use just yet... like a list of important online tools, or recent events etc.
Currently I am using aitable which has intake form that I can fill up and then send it to my main aitable Seed Box database.
The Benefit of this approach is:

Save To Do Filters.
A way to save the To Do's filters such as saving themes, ai scripts etc.
ie: by type and/or tag. Project Type, Priority Tag, Person Tag etc. Problem to have to re-select all types/tags every time you need to focus on pending tasks of follow ups on a project.1 vote -
Rename Notes.md files to match the thought's name
I often use tools other than TheBrain to search the notes in my Brain. The problem is that if I'm searching in, say the Mac's Finder, the search result is nothing but a list of Notes.md files. (see attached)
I would love it if those files could be named in some way that they could be more easily identifed.

Allow Custom AI Scripts in the Context Menu
I would like to suggest adding support for user-defined AI scripts that can be integrated into the context menu.
The idea is simple: allow users to create their own AI actions (using prompts or scripts) and assign them to the right-click menu for selected text. This would make TheBrain's AI much more flexible and adaptable to different workflows.
This would be especially valuable in TheBrain's built-in web browser. For example, after selecting text on a web page, users could run custom actions such as:
- Summarize the selected text.
- Extract key concepts.
- Generate tags or keywords.
- Rewrite the text in…

Fix LaTex.
Fix LaTex. It does not work and you know it does not work. It has been a Forum topic for years. And, it cannot be that hard to fix. This has been a problem since I first used theBrain many, many years ago. I am still a theBrain customer. I love everything about theBrain except, because of LaTex, I am continually going to something else (Obsidian is becoming my go to Note manager). I love theBrain and keep my subscription hoping that someday I will be able to use theBrain to manage my math notes.

additional integration of the free version of the Mistral-Vibe AI (fast) Chat-Software, GDPR-compliant
We need and use alternatives to ChatGPT and Anthropic (BigTech models) in Europe, which is why I suggest integrating Mistral-Vibe with TheBrain.
https://mistral.ai/products/vibe/
The French product Mistral-Vibe is GDPR-compliant and offers a wide range of user features even in the free version (custom agents, reminder function, connectors, libraries, etc.) for organizing projects in Mistral. This approach seems to align very well with TheBrain.
It is likely slightly inferior to ChatGPT and Anthropic in terms of model performance. However, for the average user, the functionality is more than sufficient and satisfying, and it is one of the fastest AI chat programs…4 votes -
Extra white-space in Attachment display
In Compact Attachment Display mode, it reduces the attachment display size so you can see more file names and more of each file name. There is still extra white-space between the file names, leading to a smaller number of files being displayed

Viewing Images in notes independenly
I like to collect screenshots in my notes. Which is useful because it allows me to comment individual shots in one note. All is well and works fine - but I sometimes run into readability problems when TB isn't fullscreen or my notes panes it too small. It would be great if the context menu for images had an option to quickly zoom them out, show them in original size.

Manually set thought creation date
When creating a new thought, or pasting an older thought after copying, it would be massively liberating for workflow to be able to set a toggle to manually define thought date.

Export Files to Single Folder
When explorting files to folders, it would be great to have a checkbox in the dialogue, in additional to "selected files", for "export to a single folder".
Often when I store files, like papers from a conference, in my megabrain, I store as individual thoughts with one file per thought and the thought reflecting the filename. However, when I export a selection, 99+% of the time, I want to export into a single folder. I can't recall ever wanting to export those conference papers for example into 150 folders each with one file.
I've always just naturally had to select…

Restore Built In Screenshot Capture in v15
Several longtime users miss the old built in screenshot / Insert Image workflow.
The current OS screenshot method works, but it does not feel equal for heavy screenshot users. What used to be one smooth action inside TheBrain now takes more clicks and keypresses, sometimes turning into three or four steps depending on the user’s setup.
For users who capture images while thinking, writing, researching, or building notes, those extra steps break their flow and slow down a workflow they had built into TheBrain for years.
Please consider restoring a direct built in screenshot capture option in TheBrain 15, so…

I have a wealth of "Google Alerts". can I bring them into a new Brain?
I have a wealth of "Google Alerts" (over 6000 of them).
Can I import them into a new Brain?
I'd like to be able to sort and categorize them, and access/use them for content creation ideas.
Many of them have multiple links to different media sources.
The ideal new thought would include:
1. Alert name/Type (e.g.: Shopping Tips)
2. Alert Date (yyyy/mm/dd)
3. Alert Title (Initial Cap text)
4. Alert Link (url)
5. Alert Media Name (Name/abbreviation of Media Source))
6. Alert Description (1-2 lines of text or summary text)1 vote -
Allow embedding attached images in the Note
Say I create a thought for the new microwave I just bought. I drag a photo into the thought as an attachment, along with a PDF receipt and maybe an email or two. Now, within the note, I'd like to see the photo, not just in the list of attachments. At one point, I would just create a Markdown link to the image like this:
That worked for a while, but doesn't now. When I add that markup, the brackets end up escaped, .e.g:
`!\[\](my-new-microwave.jpg)`Currently, the only way I know how to it is to drag/paste a copy…

Option to sort the search results according to date accessed etc.
At the moment I am not sure how the search results that the search/create field returns are sorted. To me the search order does not make much sense and the thought that I search is somewhere in the middle hidden between thoughts that are not relevant.
It would be nice to be able to choose the sort order according to date accessed or alphabetically. Additional options could be relevant for other users.3 votes -
Implement the possibility for choosing how report results are sorted
At the moment it is not clear to me how the thoughts in the result for reports are ordered.

report results should not have a 1000-hits limit but should show all results
In TB 14 the reports do not have a limit: all thoughts fulfilling the search criteria are shown.
In TB 15 there is a limit and only 1000 results are shown and it is not clear what criterion is for choosing which thoughts are displayed.
