For instance 1 is reminders of tasks I have to manage frequently, like managing my account, with a link to launch my account spreadsheet in OpenOffice. For instance 2 is keeping some documentation of useful scripts that I have written alongside a link to launch them, like updating all the index files in my web pages and uploading them via FTP.<br /><br />Live links are also important to me in managing work projects, where I need my own reminders, comments and private notes that I don't want to keep within the deliverable documents.<br /><br />I don't like all the graphical layout and bubble-gum options in some of the newer outliners that add a mass of complexity without any real increase in productivity features - all I want is a hierachical outline that folds (and remembers folds).Stuartnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432566687488141671.post-28851107531963768382011-05-08T12:13:16.914-07:002011-05-08T12:13:16.914-07:00I personally settled on evernote.

It has already been mentioned twice: Zim (zim-wikiw.org).<br /><br />I would like to point out two things that you might like:<br />What I used a lot in OneNote is the possibility of quickly inserting screen-clips. This also works with Zim with the Screenshot plugin (it's possbile to make a "clip" i.e. limiting the picture to a rectangle)<br /><br />One feature I have been missing with Zim that OneNote supports, was tags. I implemented it and it is included starting from Zim version 0.51 (see the Tag plugin).<br /><br />Although it's a PyGTK application, you should really give it a try. On my openSUSE it intergrates very well with the KDE look and feel.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />FabianFabianhttp://fabianmoser.atnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432566687488141671.post-88102422528416767552011-04-24T08:51:58.621-07:002011-04-24T08:51:58.621-07:00http://zim-wiki.org/http://zim-wiki.org/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432566687488141671.post-68760103412120201712011-04-23T10:15:31.932-07:002011-04-23T10:15:31.932-07:00I'm using silence.

I considered writing one myself until I read the documentation on OneNote's data format...<br /><br />BasKet is what I normally use, although recently I cut a huge amount of text from one basket and went to paste it into another, but my clipboard was empty, there was no undo functionality, and BasKet already saved that I removed that text. And I keep my BasKet files in a folder on an external hard drive that at the time wasn't part of my daily back-ups with RSnapshot.<br /><br />My solution now (which wouldn't be for everybody) is Apache+Sqlite+MediaWiki, storing data in an SQLite database on the external drive (allowing offline access from my PC or my laptop; I don't need online access).<br /><br />MediaWiki works for me in place of BasKet because I used BasKet for notes on stories I write. For "normal" notes, it's KNotes.<br /><br />I do hope BasKet improves at least to the level of OneNote. I've looked at the code for it a bit, but it's a pretty large project and a bit intimidating for someone who struggles with C++!Chris Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03281982767299201980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432566687488141671.post-19189045761969153062011-04-22T05:05:24.597-07:002011-04-22T05:05:24.597-07:00You're scaring me, I know BasKet is buggy but ...You're scaring me, I know BasKet is buggy but that much?<br /><br />Otherwise, I have used KJots which is a little too simple, and the Notes widget as TODO list until I lost my ~/.kde4 folder... since then I prefer my personal online wiki and a piece of paper.w4rr10rhttp://www.tuxware.cz/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432566687488141671.post-33393610398235540782011-04-22T02:43:14.482-07:002011-04-22T02:43:14.482-07:00I use Zim (http://zim-wiki.org/) which is excellen...I use Zim (http://zim-wiki.org/) which is excellent.
