  2. 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…

  3. 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...

  4. Similar to the many requests for porting to the IPad, I would LOVE to be able to use PersonalBrain, TeamBrain and WebBrain on the new business-friendly Blackberry Playbook

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

    This 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…)

  10. 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.

    Please 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?

  12. 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:

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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 :))

  17. 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.
