"Quick way to move a child from one parent to another" is implemented in 5.0.0.8. This is great!

But as described at here:

Moving a group of thoughts from previous parents to a new parent could still be very time consuming.

Imagine if you have 100 thoughts linked to 10 different parents. Moving these 100 thoughts from their previous parents to a new parent, requires you to locate and unlink their previous 10 parents separately. Sometimes it could be difficult to locate the parents if these thoughts are "not well organized".

So it would be very nice if there was a "Make active thought the only parent of selected thoughts" command under the Edit menu.

To be exact I am suggesting:

Whenever you add a webpage to the plex by dragging it's icon in the URL bar of a web browser to the plex, there should be an option such as a set of keys (e.g. holding down shift while dragging & dropping) that would cause PersonalBrain to actually capture the HTML and associated pictures from the webpage and place them in the "Notes" section.

Furthermore, I think this option should be further customized to allow one the option to actually attach the HTML file of the page you were looking at to the actual thought, such that it can be viewed by the system's default HTML browser rather than in the "Notes" section.

There should be a way of importing (synchronizing) the same thoughts repeatedly, either through additional options when the same thought is imported more than once, or via a separate "synchronize" high-level feature.

Currently, when thoughts are imported from a PersonalBrain XML file (this concept may apply to other export / import choices as well), the only options available are "skip" or "replace", not "update" or "merge" (NOTE: the word "merge" is used elsewhere to mean “complete brain merge”; here I mean using data from both an inbound thought and the existing thought).

At the very least the "skip" and "replace" options should summarize and/or display thought differences rather than ask the user to make each choice "in the blind".

In my thought process, I often come across thoughts I already had in a different context, and I mostly add new thoughts via the semicolon list so that I can add more than one at a time (saves A LOT of time!). The problem here is, that only the first thought I enter before the semicolon opens the drop down list of already created thoughts, subsequent thoughts are added without first checking whether a thought with a similar name already exists.

I believe it would be beneficial for us users, if Personal Brain created like a "temporary added thought list" (as an added idea), i.e. when you enter multiple thoughts via the semicolon, that as soon as you type the first semicolon, the thought entering window is enlarged on the left side and displays a vertical list of the already entered thought.

This way you can easily recognize how many thoughts you have already entered in this "iteration" of entering thoughts, can distinguish them more easily than with a scrolling text window as it was until now, and it is now much more easily possible to display the drop-down list of already existiing thoughts in this brain for each new thought you enter.

I would like to show you a picture I have in my mind of this feature, but I am not very good with interface sketches with software...

Think of it in terms of Microsoft Outlook's Calendars feature, but for links and thoughts in the brain.
Choose to see just your links/thoughts, or any number of other users links/thoughts (permissions based of course).

Hardened Synapses: Administrator locked thoughts and links to/from specific thoughts. Cannot be forgotten, modified or unlinked from each other.
Purpose: To create initial brain structure.

User Specific Links: Users make their own links and associations independent of other users.
Purpose: Eliminate link overload for huge brains and allow individual users to link only what they want to themselves while still contributing to the brain as a whole, viewable and linkable to/from all others users thoughts and links (or not, depending on individual/global permissions and preferences)
