Product Description:
A new breed of Personal Information Manager
If you are like most people, you constantly come across useful bits of information throughout the day while using your computer. It may come from a web site, e-mail, chat sessions, usenet news articles, or just files that you have been sent. Parsnips now gives you a place to store all these bits of useful text and easily find them later.
Using a drag and drop interface, you select the text you want to save and drag it into Parsnips. Parsnips automatically creates an "item" for the information, and saves it away for later retrieval. You can also give the item a title, an associated URL, or assign keywords to it. Later, when you want to find that information again, you can search for it using Parsnips powerful search mechanism. With Parsnips you can:
- find all items containing specific words or boolean combinations of words in either the title or the main body of text.
- find items containing one or more keywords you have attached to them.
- find all items created in the past day, week, month, year, or any arbitrary range of dates.
Parsnips can keep track of more than text. If you drag and drop any sort of file into Parsnips, it will create an item for it and record the file's location on your computer. You can add keywords for the item or add comments about it. Later you can easily locate and open the non-text file by searching in the keywords or comments.
What's new in this version:
- Fixed a problem on Mac where if you have the main window minimized and drop a file or URL on the drop window, the main window that is automatically made visible is non-responsive. Same thing would happend if you had the main window minimized and showed the About dialog and hid it.
- On Mac with Internet Explorer and on Windows with most browsers, dragging a URL to the destop and then into Parsnips didn't download and index the URL. Instead the text of the .url shortcut was read and indexed. This has been fixed.
- Changed the font size used in printing to be 10 from the default of 12. Eventually this should be a user setting.
- Changed the installer for Windows to allow you to pick the new Java 1.5 VM. Parsnips runs very well under Java 1.5.

EndlessFxThis vendor put this software out, charged $27.00 for it, stopped developing it, now it's free!
You know, if someone puts software out, gets ill and can't go further, I understand. If that happened here, then I wish the vendor respite from the troubles of sickness.
SO MANY duds are throwing software at us - software that we could actually use and for which we are willing to pay - then decide to walk away and leave us, the people who believed in them and supported them. Leaving us, however. However the application will work unsupported as interconnecting technologies move on. They leave the applications to wither away and fall behind and become however pointless.
It's happening so much that you can feel like you're missing bliss cause these raiders are certainly... (Never mind, nothing from nothing leaves nothing!).
I DON'T LIKE PAYING FOR SHAREWARE ONE MONTH AND HAVING IT UNSUPPORTED SIX MONTHS LATER! If you don't plan on keeping this gosh-darn software going, then make it free from the start. Perhaps all of you who don't intend to see your projects through should state that upfront - when you put the shat on the market! It's your for-the-moment hobby!
You folks out there in college and post-grad: just because you are gifted enough to throw it together, get enough bucks so you can go write your doctoral thesis on why Grigori Perelman didn't take the money for solving the Poincare Conjecture after so many failed for over 100 years, step back! There are some walking the same path as you who get to the end zone and touchdown, just the same, within resorting to completely self-serving tactics. Some people working on a thesis still support the software and the supporters they secured. They have honor (and probably better theses!).
You patriarch raiders, you...well, you should know better, anyway!
EXASPERATED BY THE BUNCH OF YOU!
