Starting with TheBrain 9, the storage location of Brain files is fixed in place so this suggestion is no longer applicable.

Bring the PB5 Notes editor up to a basic word processor sandard
I love PB5. I'm a die-hard fan. I try to sell it to everyone who sees it on my computer. I love that people immediately say "What's that?" when they see PB5 on my monitor. It makes me smile.
I want to use PB5 more! I want to use it everywhere. I want to be able to write directly into it instead of attaching a Word doc to a thought.
But I don't want to give up all the useful Word features either.
Please please please ... bring the PB5 Notes editor up to the standard of a basic word…

Create Personal Brain for Windows Mobile
The Brain is a great business tool. Windows Mobile phones are highly used in business. Being able to have a PB on my phone would be great. (Syncing OTA would be great too)
Right now, I have Mind Manager, and can edit the same Mind Map on the Mobile Phone or my PC, and changes will be reflected on the other; fully synced. If I could do that with PB...

You guys should add support of relative links, instead of absolute, in attachments. My PB is within
You guys should add support of relative links, instead of absolute, in
attachments. My PB is within my Dropbox, as are many files I want to link.
With relative links, they can sync through Dropbox and WebBrain more
meaningfully. Synchronization is a little pointless if the files exist in
new locations across systems.12 votesStarting with TheBrain 9, the storage location of Brain files is fixed in place so this suggestion is no longer applicable.

Integrate Google Wave
I think putting google wave where the notes section is now would be a great leap forward, and it's completely possible because it's all opensource.
If only TheBrain Technologies would make their software opensource, then we'd be able to move all these ideas forward much faster.

Make Outlook integration available in Core version of PersonalBrain
PersonalBrain Pro now has calendar and task features making integration with Outlook far less important.
It would be great to let users of PersonalBrain Core connect with Outlook to get some calendar, task and contact functionality out of PB.
This would attract customers like me who want to use PersonalBrain as a PIM instead of merely a file manager which is the current strength of PB Core.
With Outlook integration in PB Core, PB Core becomes a full-fledged PIM.
Thanks.

Could you make it open source? Collaboration would be taken to a new level if such a move was made.
Personal brain could be open source so that the collaborative efforts of organizations would be exponentional.

Make PB's database accessable as a database back-end
Use PB data with Access, excel, project, base, etc.
8 votesThis can’t be done because the database could be too easily corrupted. There is a lot of logic that must be adhered to that can’t be enforced with simple DB constraints. An alternative way of accomplishing access from other applications would be an API. (Vote for that instead if you feel so inclined…)

Improve XML export
PB is supporting a fashion of XML which is not really recognised by the XML tools which I have at hand. Having a proper XML support would make the work with the Brain data for creating reports or workflow graphs much easier.
7 votesPlease give more detail about what you mean. The XML exported by PersonalBrain is “proper”, I can assure you (it is valid and does follows all the rules of properly formed XML). What tools are you referring to?

Assign different relationship colors to untyped links
When typed, colored links are not required, I would like to be able to set default colors not just for Normal links but for each of the different types, so PB automatically colors them for me. E.g., (AT = Active Thought) AT-parents, AT-jumps, AT-children, Parents-sibs and Distant thoughts could all be different colors. Distant thoughts and Highlighted link color should remain default. The effect of this would be to make the relationship differences in the plex much more visible. See:

create an rtf compatible notes editor
I would love to use PB5 a lot more, but the notes editor is lacking some of the most essential basics... The first thing to change is rtf compatibility. Whenever I try to paste something into the notes editor, all formatting is lost. If I type the notes directly into the editor, copy them and paste them into any other program - again, the formatting is messed up. If there is a way to ensure basic rtf compatibility, please try it. Thanks.
3 votesNotes uses HTML and retains formatting when possible (e.g. to/from MS Word)

Export brain into 1 file rather than a whole folder
As folders can't be included in Meeting Requests/Emails in Outlook - it would be good when exporting a brain it could be done to just 1 (one) "run-time" file that I can send on in a meeting request or email that the receiver(s) can open in a browser. The workaround by zipping the folder and adding the .zip/.rar to the email/request is not really sexy.
3 votesThis is not possible. The best way to accomplish this is to publish to webbrain.com and email a link to the brain.

allow independent thoughts without relationship
PersonalBrain proposes to follow natural thinking. But it misses one paradigma badly: independent thoughts and their branches. It is vital for developing ideas and projects to enter thoughts without any relationship to each other (hence independently flowting). Relationships may or may not develop later on.
The concept of having different brains is a workaround, but in many cases not feasable.
3 votesUnlinking is possible – unless the thoughts you are trying to unlink are virtual thoughts.

enable a single slide for attachment instead of ppt file
instead of attaching an entire ppt file, it would be very practical to be able to attach a single slide. After all, slides are replacing word documents more and more :))
3 votesPowerPoint itself does not support this, so it not possible.

Export to Folder Syncronization
With the beta release, the functionality "Export to Folder" is awesome. Now one thing missing in the functionality is the ability to syc the brain and folder.
i.e. If working on a project, you created a Brain File and exported it to a Folder structure for others to access the documents. Now there is no way to sync brain and folders later on. Eg. if someone added some files to folder. I believe it would a great feature if possible to keep your brain and folders in sncy and in both directions.3 votesThis is not possible since the folder structure does not support the metadata that would be required to enable this.

Microsoft Word virtualised in Notes frame
How about the option of opening MS word within the PB notes frame and all the existing file naming and storage functions being retained and managed by PB as at present
