Cloning Feature

Feedback Type:  Review

Contributed by: sprindle1 Saturday, December 25 2004 @ 04:05 PM PST

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

Although there are numerous cocoa/carbon outliners and organizers available, as far as I can tell TAO is the only one to implement cloning -- and this alone makes TAO stand out from the throng. Cloning, for the uninitiated, allows an an item to be on various sublists, with a change to one applied to all.

Cloning must be a bear to code, since a half-dozen other programmers say it's on their feature request list but nothing ever comes of it.

Incidentally, Takashi T. Hamada's licensing scheme allowing a user two installs seems fair to both us and him, and will only offend those who expect a de facto site license for the basic payment. The demo version seems fully enabled, albeit with frequent pop-up reminders.

Cloning Feature - Eckius

Cloning is a feature you also find in Devonthink, where a file with these characteristics is called replicant.

Cloning Feature - Hog Bay Software

Cloning is also availible in Hog Bay Notebook. It's called "alias" but works just like MORE's cloning.

Cloning Feature - smolka

And cloning is also a feature in Tinderbox, again via aliases, together with agents for more structure and automation.

Demo is limited - spammy1

Limited to saving 40 entries, and read-only imported files. Although it'd be more convenient to be able to import a file and play with it, it's not too bad.
