It's a real pain to set it up on different computers the way you like it.
Also, I wish you could import and export the look and feel of your colors and fonts. This is the only thing really missing functionally from Keynote to me (besides a useable calendar).
Man, oh do I! I have been contemplating on and off getting a few bids on what it would take financially to hire a programmer to integrate tables into the source code. Don't let this pricelessware slip into oblivion. Maybe this (my desperation) wouldn't be enough motivation for you "to dive into the code" but I hope you guys would really get on with the long overdue upgrade/rewrite/overhaul of "this awesome program." I just spent precious productive time typing out this message, in the hope someone out there is 'listening'.
Too many unnecessary features.ģ) I know zilch about programming, but I'm an advocate of free/open source software (FSOSS). KeyNote is so much easier to use in many respects.Ģ) Like most MS products, OneNote is a bit too bloated a program for me.
That I can drag and drop anything almost anywhere within KeyNote is a HUGE plus for managing information. Why do I still prefer KeyNote over OneNote?ġ) In OneNote, it's difficult to sort/rearrange (what we call in KeyNote as) nodes and notes. Other than these, I really couldn't care less about OneNote's other features and even the 'trendy' UI. Very very useful in navigating through files.Ģ) You can type or place image anywhere within a page and drag these around and attach anywhere within the page like scraps of paper. Plus:ġ) It organises all your OneNote files into a folder tree structure that's readily accessible via a drop-down menu. A workaround is to break the file up to smaller files, which needless to say defeats the purpose of having an information management program/tool.Īmong the replacement wannabes I've tried (TreeDBNotes, TreePad, EverNote, to name a few), it was unfortunately Microsoft's OneNote that had what I was looking for: #1 and #2 above. I already went out looking for a Keynote replacement, for two reasons:ġ) KeyNote's inability to create OUTLINE numbered/bulleted lists.Ģ) One KeyNote file can get so big that loading and performance significantly slow down, oftentimes to a crawl. Unfortunately, not everyone can find this quiet little forum here. And I should've already given up, but you see now I've just created an account with SourceForge just so I could post and let you know that yes yes, I DO still use KeyNote! There aren't a few of us loyal users of KeyNote.
TreeDB Notes Free installs politely but leaves a Start menu item behind upon removal.I visit SourceForge every now and then hoping KeyNote 2.0 is already out. Overall, we found TreeDBNotes Free to be quite versatile and useful, and we recommend it to anyone looking for a better way to organize large quantities of information. In addition to the sample database, the program also has a proper Help file-in database form, of course-that provides comprehensive documentation. The program also has a search feature, making it easy to find the information you need in a large database. TreeDBNotes Free has a ton of formatting options, letting users create tables, insert images, set hyperlinks, customize text, and much more. We especially liked how easy it was to move items around within the hierarchy simply by dragging them to the desired location. We created our own database and quickly began adding folders and notes. TreeDBNotes Free comes with a sample database that includes both examples and instructions after clicking through it we felt like we had a pretty good handle on how the program works. The program's interface is attractive and easy to navigate, with menus across the top and a pane down the left side to display the tree hierarchy. Even if you've never used this kind of program before, TreeDBNotes Free is easy to learn and will have you creating trees in no time. TreeDBNotes Free is an easy-to-use program that lets you use tree hierarchies to create databases of all kinds of information, whether you use it as a contacts manager, to organize notes for a book, to keep track of recipes, or even as a journal. Tree hierarchies are a great way to organize information, starting with broad concepts and adding increasing levels of detail.
