  1. fix link actions: clicking doesn't work, short text

    I have lots of acronyms, some which are similar.
    AC
    ACS

    I'm seeing unlinked mentions for things which don't match or TB is matching the first 2 characters and getting confused.

    I also have an issue with the current version (.612.0) where AC exists as a thought and I can hover over it to get a backlink, but get no choices when I click Link Actions for the menu. My click seems to get ignored, even though the menu is presented.

  3. Spatial positioning of Thoughts in Outline view

    I would love to have the ability to temporarily position Thoughts freely within the Outline view, almost like sticky notes on a canvas.

    The relationships between the Thoughts would remain unchanged—a Thought would still be a child, parent, sibling, or jump Thought—but its visual position could be changed independently. For example, I could place a central Thought in the middle and arrange related Thoughts around it in a circle, creating something like a constellation or solar system of Thoughts.

    This would add a spatial layer to thinking. Thoughts placed close together could represent a strong connection or relevance, while Thoughts…

  4. Settable pdf view zoom default value to other than 100% settable value like 125%, and center visible text in view window.

    PDF view Preference setting zoom default to settable value other than 100% perhaps 125%, also center visible text in view window. Save multiple zoom and center clicks, makes better use of screen and reduce eye strain.

  6. Clone (Mirror) attachments within a Brain

    I only see this in Workflowy and for me and many of my colleagues it works extremely well. I do hope my "burning the midnight oil" doesn't make this idea seem totally silly. Oh boy!

  7. Detector for broken links to external files

    This is an old idea/request: Please make it possible to generate a report for thoughts with links to external files that do not exist at that location any more.
    This is a must have for me.
    Also a report for broken URL attachments would be nice.
    I guess, the process of generating this report would be slow, but it would be worth the wait.

  8. A Better way to Segment Brains

    By allowing Cutting and Pasting and maintaining links to other brains, which otherwise would require a huge manual effort and the risk of potentially loose data or at least have a lot of duplication.

    Alternatively a way to sync sections between brains could be an option.

  9. 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.
