  2. If I create a new thought with the Title

    "Brain Suggestions List"
    it could be auto assigned as a child to a Parent thought named
    "List of Lists - Global"

    (because the parent thought had a user created script or rule that searches for any new thought titles including the string "List" in their title.

  4. Provide a function allowing a user to change the color one thought anywhere in in a brain and have its children and jump thoughts automatically change to the same color. The user should have the ability to limit the number of child and jump thoughts and thus eliminate a loop.

    The color "synapse" would provide the user a means to isolate a train of thought from a large brain while still viewing the larger brain.

    This would assist with process mapping where the interconnections of processes get messy when using traditional tree structures.

  6. XML import needs deletion capabilities, perhaps providing the guid alone should cause a delete, or maybe put a safety node <delete/>, so that and the thought guid would cascade delete for <entry> and <attachment>. Secondly, make it so if I don't want to write an empty <entry> when I am importing a new <thought> and <attachment>, it will be created automatically. Third, if I am just changing <thought> data during an import, and I only offer that <thought> node, it currently whacks the existing <entry> and <attachment>. All of this stuff should be independently writable.

  7. Change my cursor into a knife so I can cut many links at once. Allow me to copy a thought type, or tags, or link type to a single palette, then allow me to dip my cursor in that palette and then click on many thoughts or links to paint them with that type or tags. Also, when I accidentally drag to an empty spot on the screen and get the new thought dialog, let me click anywhere on the screen to dismiss it. Also give me rubber band selection of thoughts, especially in expanded view where I need to…

  8. Word, and some other programs, follow documents, regardless of how they are moved from one file to another. As it is, I have to settle on a desktop file structure, and never change if I want the links to TheBrain to work. I have a very large file system, and it occasionally need reorganization, which messes up the links. I once tried using Bento to organize some of these files, and it was a nightmare, for the same reason.

  9. Words of long length, more than 42 characters, do not come up with a match in quick search list box. Text must be backspaced to 42 chars to come up with match.

    Example:
    The identifer of an existing thought is -
    !!ReSharper.ReSharper_GotoContainingDeclaration

    Pasting -
    !!ReSharper.ReSharper_GotoContainingDeclaration
    into the quick search comes up with 'no matches'

    Backspacing the search term to -
    !!ReSharper.ReSharper_GotoContainingDecla
    brings up the desired thought in the list

    Expected behavior:
    Pasting an identifier of any length will bring up the thought of that name in the list.

    Yes:
    Indexing thoughts and search index were done prior to this behavior.

  11. I have a series of tags for "year last updated", which I manually create each year.

    I'm sure other users could identify other through characteristics that could be exposed dynamically as tags.

    Color should be user-selectable as with regular tags, and should be selectable by thought as with regular tags.

    In addition, I can imagine giving users the option of selecting some tags globally (to display on all thoughts)

  12. Allow us to send a simple link (can be password protected or not) to friends and colleagues so that they can add to and edit TheBrain (without the TeamBrain setup process).
    You can charge for this added feature, but this would allow quick and efficient collaboration and gives control of sharing to the user.

  13. Offer the user to define existing link types as 'relationship / theme' links. This makes it possible to discover / visualise different relation structures that can exist all in the same brain. (all un visible or fixed now one and the same brain). The result is that from only one brain, the creator can now select and highlight relationships hidden in a complex brain. So 1 single brain can visualise more stories just by selecting and visualising the specific relationship, and all non-relevant thoughts for that specific relation dissapear to the background.

    Context / relationship or Theme switching so to…

  15. I'm current drawing a dependency graph on my todos, where thought A is a child of thought B if A needs to be done before B. I want to filter out childless thoughts so I can get a set of todos I need to do before I can do others.

  18. (or as many as fit on the screen)

    I have a lot of white space but I can only see a max of two grandchildren of any idea. I'd love to be able to see more of the things directly connected to my ideas.

    Thank you!

  19. it's awesome to have plex hyperlinks!

    http://thebrain.uservoice.com/forums/4597-thebrain-feature-suggestions/suggestions/232421-allow-hyperlink-in-notes-to-link-to-thought-in-ple

    please make it work like web URLs - highlight text and choose a thought (you could bring up the search box)

    there are times when the text does not match the target thought link or sometimes I'm phrasing it in a way that does not match the thought text.

    it would also save time if you don't remember exact spelling of a thought in your brain (which is required) because most of the time whatever you type is still a valid jump even if it's not character for character. otherwise, it can be…
