Product Description:
Welcome to OmniOutliner 3, an amazingly flexible program for creating, collecting, and organizing information. Give your creativity a kick start by using an application that's actually designed to help you think. It's like having an extra brain - one that doesn't keep losing the car keys. You can use OmniOutliner's document structure to create hierarchies of main headings and subpoints that can be expanded and collapsed, which are immensely useful when it comes to brainstorming new ideas, drilling out specifics, and lining up steps needed to get everything done. But you aren't limited to outlines - you've got multiple columns, smart checkboxes, customizable popup lists, and an über-innovative styles system at your disposal. Use OmniOutliner to draft to-do lists, create agendas, manage tasks, track expenses, take notes, plan events, write screenplays...and just about anything else you can think of. It's a smarter way to write, a more productive way to stay organized. Whatever your project, OmniOutliner has the tools you need to get the job done.
What's new in this version:
- Batch Find
- Updated selection indication to help visually identify the child rows of the selection
- Animated row expand/collapse to help you keep your place while editing
- Animated column rearrangement
- Folded editing
When folded editing is enabled only the first line of any row or note will be displayed when it's not being edited. - Inline notes
Notes can now be displayed inline as well as in a separate pane. - File Attachments
Attachments can be inserted by drag-n-drop, copy/paste, and contextual menu. You can choose to embed the attachments within the Outliner file or create aliases.- Email Addresses
- URLs
- Multimedia files (including QuickTime movies)
- Address Book Cards
- Auto-styles will establish your level styles based on how you setup your row styles. For instance if you manually make all of your level-1 rows bold then that style will become part of your level-1 row style and future level-1 rows will be bold.

Don't knock the price! It's CHEAP!! - Version: 3.6.2, 10/1/2007 12:37PM PST

AFAIC, OmniOutliner is worth every penny. I've been on the lookout for some decent mindmapping software for a while- ever since been given a copy the Inspiration software (don't worry, it is legit), which is really very good apart from the fact that it won't export to OMPL or XML files that most project managers like Merlin or OmniPlan can read, which is a right drag (pardon the pun). However OmniOutliner CAN process the rtf file output from Inspiration and turn it into a file that these project managers 'see'. For a moment then I thought I was going to have to purchase that awful Novamind software (I'm sorry- it seems that a lot of people like Novamind, but I can't stand it and find it very un-Mac, even though the PC version is still in beta. But then why have a PC version at all?!?). If I didn't have Inspiration, I would have gone for OmniGraffle instead. Full marks then to OmniOutliner for bridging that gap. You Omni-people deserve 5 stars in my book!!

OmniOutliner, at $40, isn't cheap. But it's well worth the investment - it's a great companion to a word processor, and I use it for all sorts of lists. I've never found another tool like it, so it was a no-brainer to pony up.

Does this package have the cloning ability that the ancient outlining package "MORE" had, namely, can it do cloning? Cloning in "More" allowed the user to have multiple identical entries created from an original outline item. The app allowed the user to update the original or clone outline item and all other clones/original would be updated at the same time?
This is a really useful feature. If it is in OmniOutliner, I would seriously consider dropping my OS9 only "More" package. "More" by the way is at least 10 years old and still works fine. I would like to bag all my OS9 only apps.
Thanks and Regards
