  3. Show Thought Types and Tags in search results and reporting, but only when the user toggles the option to do so (the option should be visible without the search/report panels).

  5. I'd wish to copy Tags from one thought to another one.

    Right click -> Copy Tags, Right Click -> Paste Tags.

    Having to assign tags one by one and again and again is a very tedious and time consuming task.

  6. I tried to use Personal Brain in the Presentation Mode as an alternative to PowerPoint. However, as most beamers only got a rather low resolution, I get only very few thoughts on the screen. This severely limits the usability of Personal Brain for presentations. The current form works well if the thoughts only include a few words, but if you want to have a sentence or a quote in the thought, it doesn't really work. So what I would appreciate in The Brain is a word wrap function in the presentation mode.
    In addition to word wrap, having a presentation…

  7. Due to visual impairment I require a black background and white text. Fortuantely the Brain allows one to set default background and text color. However there does not appear to be anyway to modify the default color of hyperlink text. (you can after the fact manually change the color, but this becomes really tedious). Ideally as a section 508 compliant tool, one should be able to change all colors in a way where the application is fully accessibly compliant for those with visual disabilities. Being able to specify a userdefined stylesheet, (or just allowing more flexiblity in the UI to…

  8. I like the idea of using Thought types much more actively - to indicate the status my thought (I like that the icon changing visually to) - but that means changing them a lot all the time (like tags - but tags do not effect though icons) - That would mean only 1 mouse click instead of 3mouse clicks everytime I would change though type.
    (66% less clicking)

    I got the idea your webinar: From Thought to Insight - Mastering Your Tasks and To Dos with TheBrain - This recording features Seeds of Knowledge Winner Omer Aziz, Manager, Nortel Networks…

  9. Government IT policy prohibits the use of freeware programs due to legal liability issues. For this reason, PersonalBrain can not be loaded for general users as a PB Reader. Thus, it is not in common use and not growing in popularity as much as it should be.
    An LT version would allow the software to be used and thus give it more visability to potential users.

  10. I'm doing some network documentation, and have organized my Thoughts by IP address.

    E.g. Top of the network is named "142", then a node down is named "142, 113", etc.

    This organizes the addresses hierarchically but makes searching difficult since most people would normally search with periods as delimiters. E.g. "142.113.124.1".

    Would it be possible to have an option, as an attribute of a Thought type, that would cause periods (or any user-selectable character) in the Thought name to be treated as commas are currently treated?

    This would facilitate any hierarchy that used periods as delimiters.

  11. Please develop a tab for "Contacts", like the one The Brain has for "Calendar", where we can have the possibility to connect each and any contact to any and/or many thoughts in The Personal Brain.

    So we can have the contact data structured in a database way with the possibility to order Ascending or Descending by any of the contact fields, clicking over the field title, and also to do queries to the Contacts table. Also with the vital feature to import all my contacts from my actual PIM into PB from a CSV file.

    Thanks

  12. When I am loading The Brain with documents, I will do a given set with the same metadata first. I would like to be able to cut/paste the metadata (e.g. relationship links, jumps, etc.) from one thought to another.

    For example, I am loading a series of documents that are being stored under Documentation, but I want to relate to Product A and Product B. The first one I store I create the jump links. The second one I store, I want to be able to copy the relationships from the first thought. This can be either in cut/paste or…

  13. When a user adds Brain Buttons to the toolbar, they are fixed in the order that they were added to the toolbar.

    It would be nice if the User could drag and drop the Brain Buttons on the toolbar so as to allow the User to re-arrange the order of the Brain Buttons.

    This would be similar to the way a User can re-order Pins.

  14. the tags are only in the right hand corner, it would look better if those tags become a cloud around the active thought to see all important items at once

  17. I would suggest the possibility of creating groups according to one or multiple factors, color-coded, like we can do in mind manager, and consider the group as one entity, able to create links with some others groups. Then we would be able to create a fractal structure. For instance, a city is one entity, containing thousands of streets, and this city is a part of a department, that we can consider as one, etc. This would be great.

  18. I think it would be a good idea to put 2 horizontal links instead of 1, one brother and one sister. For instance, I would put all the aspects between a planet on the left, like I did it in the file I sent you, and all the keywords associated to the planet on the right.

  20. On many high-density notebook screens Notes text looks too small to read comfortable. We need possibility to do usual thing for text processors, readers etc - just change view and enlarge it (without actually change font of the note, of course, just the view). We can easily change view of the plex, making it larger or smaller, but not the notes text - and this sometimes becomes critical! :)
