Growlynotes can do what CPN does, but it has trouble if you get more than a very small DB of Thanks for pointing out the issue with trying to do this in DT. GROWLY NOTES EXPORT AS PDF HOW TOI’d love to be wrong about that, so if someone knows how to use it smoothly for journal-type notetaking, please let me know. It can do far more than CPN and I’m sure it’s the perfect tool for many workflows, but I can’t really recommend it as a notetaking app. GROWLY NOTES EXPORT AS PDF PDFIronically, there’s now even an app that can do this for a bunch of PDF files (tagnotate), but nothing that does it well for just plain text or rtf.Īlthough in principle curio can replace CPN’s ability to tag an individual item rather than a whole file and then gather those things, it’s just not fluid enough in its execution of that feature to be a good CPN replacement for notetaking. I really didn’t think it’d be so hard to find another app that had this seemingly fundamental feature. GROWLY NOTES EXPORT AS PDF MACI’m still amazed that with the vast number of notetaking apps, now only Onenote can do this in a reasonably lightweight way, and the mac version has issues. I was indifferent to the whole skeuomorphism of making it fell like a physical notebook, I just needed something where I tag a line or paragraph and then find like-tagged items like “questions” later. That makes it a real-time mix of things that can be marked as “questions,” “results,” “problems,” “ideas,” “todo’s,” etc… Then later, for example, some of the results might get marked as, “junk”, “mistake,” “important,” etc. My workflow for scientific notes follows the almost universal standard of just writing down what’s happening as you’re doing things. But despite really trying, I just can’t seem to like it to replace how I used CPN. ![]() Thanks very much for the quick and helpful I tried Curio a couple years ago, and I’ve been trying it again since CPN closed. Not to confuse matters – but there’s also Alfons Schmid’s Notebooks, which is solidly integrated with OS X and iOS and is a beautiful note-book oriented work. In conjunction with DEVONthink with which both Curio and Tinderbox play very well. Sorry I can’t be more specific – truly this is an apples-oranges question and both products should be in a serious note-taker’s repertory, IMO. GROWLY NOTES EXPORT AS PDF SOFTWARETinderbox is a life-time occupation - I’ve known few users who get fully into the capabilities - though Mark Anderson’s aTbRef is one of the most in-depth privately maintained references for any software that I know of. Curio uses standard graphical features (“figures”) and figures have far fewer attributes – mainly for task planning and status. Notes in Tinderbox can have a vast array of attributes assigned to them (oddly, linking to specific text in a note is not easy). It’s very obvious how to use Curio, less so for Tinderbox. Scan the user manuals/help for each, too, to see how the features work. The best comparison test is to try to emulate, from scratch (no cut and paste!) one of your favorite CPN notebooks in each product. Both Eastgate (Tinderbox) and Zengobi (Curio) have very active and helpful user forums, the developers are involved and always available for private questions, and I’m sure each of them would be flexible if you needed a long trial. GROWLY NOTES EXPORT AS PDF TRIALThe best thing to do is download a trial copy and see how each of them work with your requirements. So, Tinderbox or Curio (if we disregard the pricing issue)? ![]() I know that onenote can do this, but I prefer indy developers to MS, and onenote has some serious problems on the mac. ![]() Does anyone have any ideas on a workaround to tag something like a paragraph and then see everything with that tag later.įor example, do users have a way to just tag a paragraph as “todo” and then later see those todo’s gathered together?Īny thoughts anyone has on this would be greatly appreciated. I use tagging extensively in DT, but only at the file level. Then later you search for the tag “problem” or “todo” and see all the tagged items along with their context and a link back to the correct spot in the original. Here’s what I mean: CPN is (was) beautiful as a project notebook, because you could simply tag just one item on your page with, for example, “problem” or “todo” or “urgent” or “idea” and then just continue writing. Unfortunately, CP just shut its doors last week, so notebook users are struggling to replace its benefits. I use it in combination with Circusponies Notebook (CPN) though because CPN has one amazing feature that even DT doesn’t have: The ability to tag a portion of a page and then gather all those tagged bits together across many different pages. I love its flexibility and excellent design. I’ve used DT for years gather everything and keep it organized. Circusponies closed its doors last week and I’m struggling to try to use DT exclusively now. ![]()
