@IanFromBarrie

Thanks for that info. I was wondering why it wasn't working with XP. Renaming todolist.exe.xp.manifest to todolist.exe.manifest worked.

I have used this PIM for many years however since Yahoo inflicted their new security measures I have been unable to download messages from my Yahoo account, I have followed all the instructions provided by Yahoo to add Essential PIM to the list of message services but to no avail.

Even Anton at Astonsoft could not help as his recommendations were exactly the same as those from Yahoo.

DzejPy on 2020-10-26 09:34

EssentialPIM free since version 9 can not add e-mail account Google (Gmail) or Microsoft (Outlook) - fails 2-step verification (OAuth).
Version 8 can do it...
Tested repeated on different computers and operating systems.

FireRabbit on 2021-12-14 00:27

PSA: I've tested both Outlook and Yahoo in version 10 and they both work fine for me.

It's like an outliner, but in more than one dimension. It's like a text editor, but with structure.

@xor
Better report your problems at the forum, the developer usually responds to bug reports and other issues. Of course you are not dumb. Did you change the initial location of StackNotes folder- it remembers the location of the last used file.

Software is certified by SoftPedia as beeing "Clean of virus, spywares, adwares". The reason why it was reported as beeing "potentially malicious" at SourceForge was due to the AES encryption command line tool included with the package. This tool is no more distributed with the package and can optionnaly be downloaded from the "AES Crypt" website if needed.

Latest stable version is 2.0_1, a release candidate for 2.1 and a beta for 2.2 are also available. Does extraction still work and make it portable?

Midas on 2014-03-06 15:42

The difference between (Uni)extraction and choosing portable with the installer is mainly the creation of an 'export' sub-folder and a 'binInst.ini' with the following content:

[Main]
CurrVersion=002.002.300.000
wxVersion=002.008.010.001
portableInstall=1

shnbwmn on 2018-04-08 01:38

It's true, "Trying it is adopting it!"

I finally got down to using this for interlinked notes and now I can't imagine going back to anything else. What really sets it apart is the on-the-fly nature of editing. OutWiker is a bit more advanced but it's tedious in comparison.

Erratum:
It is not payware,
I looked here: http://www.konradp.com/products/organizer/pro_index.htm

If you're the sort of user who likes to store all of their portable documents in a single location, such as F:\Docs (where F is just an arbitrary drive letter corresponding to your USB flash drive), and were hoping to store Total Organizer databases in a location such as F:\Docs\PIM\default.db, then this application is not for you.

In general, if you like to double click on files using a file manager such as Explorer, this application is not for you.

Most importantly, if you specify files using the command prompt by TYPING them in, this application is DEFINITELY not for you.

Total Organizer saves user databases under the user's Documents folder or the Application Folder (portable mode). Either way, let's just say that folder is %base%. If you want to access your documents, they will be located at %base%\My Total Organizer Documents\default\{2811-3294832947398374-39483947239}\SomeOtherSubfolder\TheActualDbFile.db

The point is, you're never going to be able to remember where the folder is located at, because it's nested 6 arbitrary levels deep, behind a GUID instead of a name, and NONE of this is user-configurable.

At one point I thought about reformatting my USB drive to NTFS so I could just make a hard link to the file or a symlink to the folder, but decided it was too much trouble.

either way to located in the following subfolder:

very bad. One of the worse software I've used

Bol on 2008-04-06 00:39

Very interesting application when you take time to invest in it. Much more than Rainlendar although less fancy interface. Has also the import tools and is fully Unicode. Must be used by a large number of users, as it appears in 7 languages already. New search function quite usefull. Imports are possible from Excel. Extra features, such as the Money application, can be used to replace money or quicken in simple households. The music and film functions are quite handy. I'm positively surprised : it's much better than it seems at first hand.

Apparently not free: "We advise you that the downloaded file gives you the right to try the program for 30 days. If you want to use the program longer than the 30 days, you need to buy the license key with us. The downloaded program is fully functional, and contains all 8 languages"
