  5. consider how to publish a brain: "Semantically"

    I envision an evolution that allows OWL Ontologies and RDFa to be increasingly incorporated into PBs. There have been a number of occasions recently when I realized that I wished I could semantically search my PBs

  6. Allow the export of Brains in a document format

    currently all the exports I understand, require incessant clicking to read the whole brain. I want a brain export style that I can simply read. PDF? Links would still be embedded.

  9. Invisible Title Index Field

    I might like to prefix clusters of child thoughts 01 thoughtawx 02 thoughtccg, 03 thoughtbzr, etc to create my own thought order. It would be great to have a prefix box (left of thought name titles) that is eliminated by default from being returned in search title results etc, Very very useful I say. Could be searchable as an option if you have a memory for prefixes etc

    A Pin Icon (located just to the right of [Add Brain] Button, [Remove Brain] Button. When clicked on it would open a full screen page where (excess to Plex Real Estate) pins can be added etc. The Page could be split into two zones, top half replicates pins displayed near top of Plex, bottom remaining area stores all additional Pins you dont have room to display in upper Plex area. Double click on blank / non active areas of Pin Page would close it

  16. Ticked Tags of active Thought highlighted in Tag Window

    Highlights could display dynamically on hover-over of non active thoughts, but this would be optional in preferences. Highlighting is easier than just hunting for ticks, although this of course would remain for selection purposes

  20. Editable Spreadsheet View

    I would like the option to view an entire brain as an EDITABLE spreadsheet, (excluding notes).
    Columns would include Thought Title, Individual Tag Types (on, off), Parents (coma separated titles in single column field), Children (coma separated in single colums field), Jumps same etc
    A-Z Sortability by at least (Thought Title), Individual (Tag), Date Created, Date/Time Modified as well as all instances serving as interchangeable links between spreadsheet view and normal view (and back again, each thought has a return to spreadsheet position view)

    This would make for fast and efficient editing as well as lightning mobility through brain
