Very good but I broke it

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

Based on reviews on Version Tracker and others I purchased OO. The application is very good but if you want to attach a lot of pdf's etc. be very careful. After attaching my pdf's that I have scanned the program would crash repeatedly. I received a e-mail from Omni "If you have a large number of PDF files to include in an Outliner file, we'd recommend linking them in instead of directly attaching them. If you control-drag the files in, OmniOutliner will reference the existing file on your disk instead of copying it into the document." I purchased this program for the purpose of organizing my pdf's by attaching them to the database. Recommended if you want to link files instead of attaching them.

Try DEVONthink - wheeles

It sounds like you would be better off with DEVONthink. I use both OmniOutliner Pro and DEVONthink Pro and believe DEVONthink to be better suited to your needs.

Yes -- DevonThink Rocks! - SGoodheart

Couldn't agree more that DevonThink is what you need. Check it out. You won't believe the horsepower and intelligence the developers have embodied in this program. I have hundreds of huge PDFs imported into DT, and it doesn't blink an eye, so to speak, and is fast, to boot. But being able to have all your PDFs imported (or linked, if you prefer) is just the tip of the iceberg for this fantastic program. As a science writer, I constantly use it, and it's never let me down. Use DT with the new DevonAgent, and you'll be in researcher and archiver's heaven! (No, I don't work for Devon -- I just a very satisfied user. Steve
