Update notes

To update you must only download the new version (for MS Windows or Mac OS X) and install as usual. The installation will overwrite the existing version of Sorting Thoughts. All your settings and thought collections will survive. Please ensure that no thought collection is saved in the program folder. All changes of version 1.2.1 are listed in the change log.

1. Gantt charts – see the big picture

Every project thought has now a “Task Schedule” tab which shows all related tasks in a Gantt chart. You can move the tasks to change the start and end dates. Gantt charts are great to see the whole planning picture of your projects.

 

2. Thought filter – see your next tasks

Further, the new version let you set filter rules for the thought tree. With the new context menu of the search input field (right-click), you can set this filter rules. For example, a very useful filter is “Show my next tasks” which let you see all open tasks sorted by end date and priority.

3. State-based icons – see it quickly

Every project and task thought has now a state-based icon. So you can see the state (open, in progress, closed) and the priority (high, medium and low) without open the thought.

Preview Screenshot

If you use the mobile version of Sorting Thoughts (available for HP webOS and Android devices), you can sync your thoughts with the desktop version in three simple steps. Thats makes it pretty easy to keep important thoughts in your pocket or to sync back sudden inspirations in your desktop thought collection. Moreover, you can use the sync to backup all mobile thoughts.

I think the sync feature is one of the greatest features of Sorting Thoughts. Let’s take a closer look on it:

Sync your thoughts in three steps

Step 1: Connect your device by USB

In the first step you must connect your handset with your desktop PC by USB cable. Your handset must be in the USB drive mode. If you have problems to do this, please consult the user manual of your handset.

Step 2: Enable the sync

To enable the sync, open the preferences of the desktop version and enable the mobile sync option. In the sync preference view you can also see information about the last successful sync (last device path and sync date).

Step 3: Start the sync

Now you are ready to start the sync. Click on the “Start sync” button in the preference view or in the menu bar. If you start the sync for the first time, Sorting Thoughts must find the mobile thought collection and you will see a dialog box with the following request: “Please select a folder on the USB drive of your handset.” After the selection of any folder on the USB drive, Sorting Thoughts will find the mobile thought collection automatically.
Sorting Thoughts analyzed all entries which are relevant for the sync. After the sync all mobile thoughts are visible in the thought tree and in an extra “Mobile Thoughts” shelf.

Good to know

• If you have activated a password lock on your mobile app, you must enter this password in the synchronisation process.
• You can only sync one device with the desktop app. If you want sync a 2nd device the pairing between the first device and the desktop app must be reseted.
• In some cases, it is possible that the sync detects conflicts. You can use a compare dialog if changes on a desktop and mobile thought are detected. To open this dialog, double-click on the thought in the conflict resolve dialog.
• If you want to add a thought to your mobile thought collection, you must use the “Mobile Sync…” action in the context menu of the relevant thought.
• At the moment, the sync supports only simple thoughts – no projects, tasks or events.
• If the mobile app still running after the sync, you must restart the app.

Thought Collection Details

Under the menu “Collections” > “Thought collection details” you can find a view with detailed information of your current thought collection. Here you can see how many thoughts you have created, which is the oldest or how many thoughts are in sync with your Android or HP webOS handset.

Quick find in the thought tree

With a new keyboard shortcut it is very easy to find an open thought in the tree view. Press Ctrl + L and the currently viewed thought will be selected in the tree. This can be very useful if you have a big thought collection with a complex structure. By the way, all available keyboard shortcuts are listed in the User Guide.
