TreeLine - much more than an outliner!
TreeLine - much more than an outliner!
How I've missed this application before I'll never know!
TreeLine is much more than the usual 'TreePad' kind of outliner: it can store and format different datatypes for each node - like a "proper" database manager. Also, it has a wide variety of import/export options, one of the most useful being for Mozilla-type bookmarks. Takes a bit of reading to understand all its options, but when you get the grasp of it, it seems uniquely powerful.
TreeLine is well-documented and is available for both Linux and Windows from: http://www.bellz.org/treeline/index.html
To install portably under Windows, use Universal Extractor to extract the folders from the installation .exe file to a folder of your choice. Then run lib/treeline.exe, and its settings will be stored in lib/treeline.ini. RegShot indicates that no changes are made to the registry when TreeLine is installed this way.
There are also some very useful Sample files provided - see the menu option File/Open Sample and the files in the folder 'doc'.

Treeline
It registered the .trl file type in the registry.

It certainly is less convenient to have to extract the files with Universal Extractor, but I don't see why that would make a program non-portable.flector wrote:With all due respect to the portablefreeware people, an application that requires using Universal Extractor to be portable... isn't.
By that logic, any program that comes compressed in a zip or rar volume and has to be extracted before being installed would have to be considered non-portable -- and that would eliminate a ton of great portable apps.

Universal Extractor merely facilitates getting to the files (by bypassing the need to perform a setup, copy and uninstall procedure), there is no magic involved that allows it to transform a previously unportable application into one. I fail to see what the issue is.flector wrote:With all due respect to the portablefreeware people, an application that requires using Universal Extractor to be portable... isn't.
Re: TreeLine 3.0.2
TreeLine version 3.0.2 does not work in portable mode- the developer has confirmed that, hopefully the problem will be fixed in the next version. For the time being version 3.0.1 can be used- it works fine in portable mode. Meanwhile I managed to offend the developer calling version 3.0.2 "complete disaster".
