Be aware that, as mentioned on the Flock site, "this is a BETA version of Flock 1.1, and will not use your browser profile from any previous version of Flock. This is a clean install. This means that when you install this build, you will not have your previous Flock favorites, feeds, or personal info. This info is not deleted, it's simply not accessed."

It looks as if Avenir has been sold to Mariner Software.

The timeline view which has been added is an interesting feature.

Found this comment from Jerry Seeger (JNW developer) :

"I was hoping that the servers for Jer's Software Hut would be stable enough that I could wait until I got back to the secret labs to find a new host, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The problem: the guy who kindly offered to host the Hut... his contact info is on the server that is currently down. Dang."

Apparently, the link to Jer's hut just disappeared ; I was connected to his site about an hour ago;

Anyone knows what happened ?

He did it again, I'm afraid !

This version can't open my Mori files ; I just get a totally blank window.

I stick to 1.6.4.

Simple, minimal, very useful and unobstrusive ; uses very little CPU, can record programs ...

FStream, what else ?

Can anyone answer my question ,

I could not find an outline view in XMIND (as in Inspiration) where text can be edited and items rearranged.

Did I miss something ?

Thanks.

I got this message from NewsGator :

"Your NewsGator Premium Subscription expires on December 14, 2007.

If you do not renew your subscription, you will not be eligible for product upgrades released after your expiration date. Also, NewsGator Go! mobile clients cannot function and FeedDemon and NewsGator Inbox will no longer synchronize without a current Premium Subscription.

One Premium Subscription entitles you to free upgrades on all the NewsGator RSS products you own.

To continue using FeedDemon, Inbox or NetNewsWire as a stand-alone client, without the added benefits of NewsGator Premium, you can revert to Free NewsGator account.

Does this mean I have to pay again to be able to get the free (!!!) next upgrade?

Ouch!

Navigator is back!

I hesitated before downloading Navigator and did it for old times sake ; I'm so glad I did it!

My profile was swiftly imported from Firefox (I had the choice between all my browsers), the GUI is clean, simple, all the sites I've visited so far have been displayed without any problem, and the old icon is back!

A great joy to use and not only for old timers like me.

So far, I've been using (and not only trying) Shiira, Flock, Omniweb, Camino, Safari of course, Opera (I have given up iCab) because I love browsers (nobody is perfect) and I design and run a site.

So far, Camino, Safari and now Navigator come on top of my list.

I have downloaded the trial version and ended up buying Pagico because I had started using it for the "real world" and found it incredibly useful. I still find it confusing sometimes (Difference between "activities" and "tasks") and am waiting for screencasts, but I may have finally found THE application to help me manage contacts, tasks, data ... it has tags, smart folders, a task planner, it is compatible with iCal and -soon, hopefully- will manage notes sent via email.

The develpoers are very resposive and active (An Ubuntu version appeared recently on their site).

I hate Vienna!

I bought NetNewsWire and Newsfire and discovered Vienna afterwards!!! Now I don't use the readers I have bought anymore and I've swithched to the free one...It's fast, easy to configure and use, can import and export my list of suscriptions (I exported it to OmniOutliner). The builtin browser is just great and seems to be able to open any Web page and download files (which isn't the case of NetNewsWire ; I've tested quite a few pages).

Very stable. Great app.

Nobody seems to care about this app. I've been using the free version for some time and, although it's limited, I get very good results.

I was lost ; I found Overflow and I was saved...

Joking, of course, but what an easy launcher. I use so many apps that I did not know how to get organized.

What I like most?

Easy to use, categories, simple, efficient.

I think it is the app I use most, second to my (numerous) browsers!

Most highly recommended.

I have just started to use DTP seriously along with DEVONagent, and it is an incredible app.

I can store, retrieve, organize, link, view within the built-in browser, import from DEVONagent.

I was first looking for an app that could help me organize visually my notes and am still trying demos of Curio, Inspiration and Tinderbox, but I am sure I will stay with DTP for storing data.

I own Omnioutliner Pro, Mori, Yojimbo, SOHO Notes, Devonthink...

I read quite a few books for my work and I use Mori for taking notes and retrieving information.

I use Omnioutliner for my writing projects and personal&- and professionnal projects.

For storing data, I'm trying hard to use DevonThink but I find it difficult to organize ; I lke the way Yojimbo and SOHO just sit there at the side of the screen.

I know DThink is much better, but I just can't feel at ease with it.

I have to admit I just love Flock. in my mind, it's the most imaginative browser along with Shiira, which is very much in a beta stage and, of course, not stable enough in its last version.

What I love most about Flock : the ability to blog from the browser, to manage my Flickr account (view my photos, my contacts', etc, upload to my photostream...), the way it handles RSS feeds, the GUI which is excellent...

All in all, an EXCELLENT browser.

I started using a Macintosh with MORE(Which is now available for free and still works perfectly) a very long time ago (Yes, some of us are still alive). TAO is right on that track ; not trying to look nice, like OmniOutliner, but incredibly efficient.

It's not just a powerful outliner, it's certainly a great writing tool and I advise everyone not to be put off by the appearance of the app.

If you want to be able to write, reorganize your paragraphs, "fold" and "unfold" them, keep a general view of your work, TAO is for you.

Dans la profusion des logiciels de gestion de notes personnelles, d'informations, capables de gérer les fichiers les plus divers et de les retrouver (!), Journler me semble avoir un statut à part.

D'abord, pour deux raisons égoistes : il est gratuit (ou plutôt, c'est un "donationware") et il est francisé, ce qui n'est pas si fréquent.

Ce qu'on peut faire avec :

Tenir un journal personnel et retrouver ses notes par sujet, date, contenu,etc.

Créer des "dossiers intelligents" (smart folders) comme dans Mori ou Process

Importer des documents de différents formats (soit par glisser/déposer), soit en PDF, via un plugin, par le menu imprimer (Formats : text, rich text, pdf, word, html, archive web, jpeg)

Il possède des fonctions avancées d'éditeur de texte, d'export vers iPod

Pour les accros des applications Apple, il intègre les logiciels iLife (iWeb, iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie, Mail, Carnet d'adresses) et supporte Applescript. Dommage qu'on ne puisse pas configurer cette fonction et choisir les applications auxiliaires.

En résumé, c'est un logiciel remarquable, croisé de Macjournal et des gestionnaires de données personnelles tels que Yojimbo et ceux que j'ai mentionnés plus haut.

Extrêmement recommandable.
