Product Description:
iData 2 is an easy-to-use database application for storing text and graphics. It is also very flexible and user-configurable. It can store information in either freeform or field-based formats, and makes it very easy to store and retrieve information. Great for grabbing web page bookmarks or linking to files on disk. Includes label and envelope printing -- with template layout and design, printing of batch labels and envelopes, and printing of single labels and envelopes. Two System Services: Grab URL and Selection, and Send Selection to iData.
What's new in this version:
- New changes to the current record's Freeform Text Area were sometimes not retained when sorting or selecting records.
- The Modem Preferences pane could crash if there were no modems installed.
- In the Select Records dialog, the lower popup menu on the right side improperly showed the option "Equals" when "Whole Record" was selected in the upper popup menu when dealing with a field-based datafile. Also, control and text field activation/deactivation was not always appropriate for the current menu selections.
- A datafile could be merged with itself--potentially a great waste of time with a really large datafile.
- The Tab-Delimited File... item in the Export As submenu under the File menu was available even for datafiles that have no fields (and, thus, cannot be exported as tab-delimited files).

This update (3.1.5) is supposed to fix printing issues with Snow Leopard but I find its made things worse. I wish they would test this software before distributing it to the public.
My most indispensible app

For twenty years, since I first bought QuickDex — as it was then called — this small program has been one of my most valuable. I use the freeform format to store any bit of information I may want to recall ... names, addresses, contact info, bookmarks, code snippits, recipes, lists ....anything and everything. And a simple keyword will bring it to the top... instantly. I couldn't do without it.
BTW, yesterday, I reported a small bug in the latest version (3.1.2); today, it was fixed (v.3.1.3). How's that for service?

I've been a happy user of iData 3 since this indispensable product was called "Quick Dex". It's in my Startup Items and always ready to go when I sit down to work. I currently have over 5,000 "Freeform" records, many with embedded images.
Part of the beauty of iData 3 are the nearly-instantaneous search and sorting functions.
Recently I had a badly corrupted ID3 file due, I believe, to a USB hardware system crash that brought down my computer before I could save iData 3 changes. Robin Casady and Mike Wright of iData3.com stepped to the fore and recovered 99.9 percent of my file.
Another developer might have said - with some justification - "You have a backup file, don't you: Just use that." (I DID have a backup file; let's just say that it was a few days old.)
Mike and Robin provide a world-class product with world-class support and I'm always happy to pay the price for major version upgrades; it's always a reasonable amount for current iData 3 owners.
Highly recommended!
