Importing from Info Select

[FlagTech]

I've begun importing topics from Info Select (ISW). It's a big deal for me, since I've accumulated around 15 years of tidbits of data, contacts, emails, archived emails, old customer orders, and a more in ISW.

Here are few thoughts on things that might ease importing--whether from ISW or many other systems/text files/etc.

You probably know that ISW and some other PIMs allow Notes (tree nodes containing text) to automatically get their node label from the 1st line of text in the Note. UR supports this for Web pages; would be nice if it was an option for Notes also. This would benefit most kinds of text imports (plain text, .RTF, .DOC files, HTML, etc., whether from the clipboard or a file), because very often the text being imported has a title on the first line. Please tell me if UR already supports this & I've just missed the option setting that turns it on.

Something I miss from ISW is the ability to change the color and font of tree nodes. Flags are nice but don't offer the same variety for highlighting the status of items, so a quick visual scan up/down the tree doesn't convey as much information as it did in ISW.

Another thing I miss: ISW nodes can have a ToDo attribute applied--very similar to UR's flags. The difference (and it's a big one) is that the ToDo attribute automatically propagates to parent nodes when those parent nodes are collapsed. In other words, if a child node has the ToDo attribute applied to it and that branch is expanded, showing the child, then the ToDo flags the child node. But if that branch is collapsed so that the child isn't showing, the ToDo flag appears at the parent node...which lets you immediately see that either the parent or one if its child nodes is flagged and needs attention.

Thoughts about these as feature possibilities?

To repeat from my earlier post though, my appreciation for UR continues to grow. Nice product.
