I am surprised that this one has not been mentioned yet:
Nncron - a powerful scripting tool and automation manager. It's a good complement to TAR.

I'm looking for a small personal information management tool. It has been mentioned somewhere here in the forum, but as far as I can remember not in this thread. I wasn't able to find it using the forum search. Maybe someone can help me. All I can remember it's open source and features a structured navigation window on the left and a content window on the right.

Thank you in advance!

It's not the one I was looking for, but this one looks nice too, thanks! I guess the one I'm looking for is listed on source forge.

Thank you icfu. Keynote is the program I was looking for.

Hi Lefteous

If the data "on the right" needs to be tabular (in addition to rich text) you might find InfoStore more useful than Keynote. Infostore allows you to define any number of fields and any number of tables and organize them hierarchically with the tree "on the left"...

I use both.

Thank you for the tipp. I will take a look at it.

InfoStore is not free, right?

[JohnFredC]

That's correct...

But it does have the trial download. It is incredibly well designed, not overloaded with features (wish it had print preview though) and I bought it after the trial period because it is so useful.

But no, it isn't free.

One of my favorites, not mentioned as far as I see, is Access Folders.

<link removed>

Gives you the same kind of functionality as the TC Directory hotlist in windows file dialogs (Win+A by default). It seemed $20 was a bit high when I first played with it but I use it constantly so well worth the money.
