Does expand and collapse generations need to be re-activated?
I cannot figure out how to expand and collapse generations in 15.0.95. Has this functionality not migrated to later versions of TheBrain 15? This is a major gap if so.

Better PDF handling
When I insert a link that points to a PDF, I'd like to direclty download into Brain/Thought pdf files instead of or in addition to link.
Actually it's possible download it to disk, as it happens in browser, and then attach to the thoughts.And if I open a PDF from a thought and for example make some highlights or add some comments directly from TheBrain, when saving it has to direclty update in the thoughts, not to an external folder.

api endpoint for todo retrieval and update
TheBrain isn't my primary todo location but I find it extremely useful, and lets face it, easy, to add them directly into the thoughts they apply to. But then they are a bit lost for me when managing my day. I want to be able to access them via MCP or API's directly so I can have them as part of my overall task management system. That way Cerebro could also work with them as right now it can't help me even from inside the brain!

Open Attachments with "Open with..."
I would like to have the possibility to open attachments with a choice of program, not just the standard program. For example, I want to be able to open pdf-files with Foxit Reader for standard viewing, with pdf24 for editing, with pdf-Arranger, with Drawboard to make annotations.
At the moment, one hast to open the folder containing the attachment and open the attachment with "Open with..." from there.

A tighter integration with Microsoft OneNote
THE OPPORTUNITY
TheBrain excels at what no other tool does: non-linear, associative thinking. The ability to model complex knowledge relationships — thoughts, links, webs of context — is genuinely irreplaceable. But when it comes to rich, freeform note-taking, especially on iPad, OneNote fills a gap TheBrain's current notes panel simply can't match. Handwritten annotation, stylus input, highlighting, visual page layouts — these make OneNote an irreplaceable capture tool for many of us.
The ask isn't for TheBrain to rebuild those capabilities from scratch. It's for a tighter coupling — so users can bring the best of both worlds into one…3 votes -
Selected thoughts include Tags and Type to "copy text Outline with notes"
It would be great if Selected thoughts will include Tags and Type to the "copy text Outline with notes" command.
This will helps me e.g. to get a quick excel sheet via Claude Code, with all selected Thoughts in a nice overview, wich I can use for a meeting as an overview.

Hover Over Label Larger Text as in v.14
I use labels quite a bit for quick level 2 information about a thought without actually opening the thought. In version 14 I could hover over a thought and the font size was large enough to get what I needed and move on. In version 15 the font size is much reduced. I would like to being the font size of hovering over a label back to version 14 size.

Make it possible to switch the endpoints of links without losing the link properties
Hi,
A thought about links that occurred to me:
Wouldn't it be good if we would have the possibility to alter/change the start- and end-thought of a certain link?Imagine, after having set the colour and the thickness and the type of a link between two thoughts and maybe even added a note content and you realize that one of the end thoughts should be different... the only solution is to unlink and start all over again losing all property and note information of the existing link in the process.
If the properties-window of the link had a reference to…

Implement the possibility for choosing how report results are sorted
At the moment it is not clear to me how the thoughts in the result for reports are ordered.
I would like to be able to sort them alphabetically, or according to date created/modified/accessed.3 votes -
Option to sort the search results according to date accessed etc.
At the moment I am not sure how the search results that the search/create field returns are sorted. To me the search order does not make much sense and the thought that I search is somewhere in the middle hidden between thoughts that are not relevant.
It would be nice to be able to choose the sort order according to date accessed or alphabetically. Additional options could be relevant for other users.3 votes -

Fix LaTex.
Fix LaTex. It does not work and you know it does not work. It has been a Forum topic for years. And, it cannot be that hard to fix. This has been a problem since I first used theBrain many, many years ago. I am still a theBrain customer. I love everything about theBrain except, because of LaTex, I am continually going to something else (Obsidian is becoming my go to Note manager). I love theBrain and keep my subscription hoping that someday I will be able to use theBrain to manage my math notes.

BrainBox turned into a Seed Box storage for PKM
I suggest to have a Seed Box for all data that are important to catalog but does not have a proper place just yet.
My Use Case: my marketing work requires me to collect a lot of information (pdf, sheets, docs, slides, video) that might not have clear connection or use just yet... like a list of important online tools, or recent events etc.
Currently I am using aitable which has intake form that I can fill up and then send it to my main aitable Seed Box database.
The Benefit of this approach is:

Dynamic LLM Switching
It would be very cool to be able to switch between:
Cerebro TheBrain LLM utility
API via (multiple) user LLM accounts
Local API for offline LLM useThe switching should be:
Online Cerebro running out of periodic token quota
Cerebro triggered by saved script or real time instruction
Cerebro triggered by conditional triggers or automatic on user defined triggers
Button toggled by sidebar / topbar button, sequence entries user definedReference:

Better Redo Function in the AI of the Notes Editor
When using the Redo function in the AI assitant of the notes editor it would be helpful to have access to the last prompt entered. Often a Redo implies a change or refinement of the last prompt. Currently one has to reenter the complete previous prompt (and to remember the exact previous wording).

create orphan thought from brainbox
I'd like to be able to create a new orphan thought from an entry in brain box rather than adding it as a child to something else and then having to unlink it.

Gamification Skill Tree View
To keep up with something that is out there, and where The Brain could leap forward into a new paradigm.
Create a "Skill Tree" view, which resembles skill trees that can be built in video games.
Add some graphics options such as thought shapes and zero text options.
We already have the option to modify the plex to have interesting backgrounds, so that isn't needed.
Being able to toggle text on and off, replacing it with an image. If you had the ability to use .png files for the images, then you could actually end up with very dynamic looking…

iOS To Do List Sorting/Filtering
The iOS To Do List doesn't presently allow sorting by Name or Date Modified like the Mac/Windows version of the To Do List does. It's not even clear what sorting logic the iOS list is currently using ... it seems to put modified thoughts at the bottom, but there are confusing inconsistencies. At the very least, it seems like the iOS To Do List should be sorted by Date Modified by default (with To Dos from the last modified notes at the top).
Better still would be to allow for a user-controlled sorting choice, either by Name or Date Modified.
