Although MyInfo 3 could be installed on a USB flash drive, it works far from perfect. It could not store user settings back to the flash drive and in general it is not designed for such a purpose.
In MyInfo 4, we have paid a special attention to the ability of the application to run on a USB drive. Now, all user settings are stored back on the USB drive. Even little things as your personal spelling dictionary are remembered between the different host computers. There will be separate install package of MyInfo, especially designed for portable installation.
The pros of using MyInfo (or any other application) on a thumb drive is that you can always have your favorite application and all your data with you. In addition, the backup of such installation is extremely easy, because all files that you have to backup are stored in a single computer folder.

MyInfo tree columns are a unique feature that sets apart MyInfo from its competitors. It is a powerful tool for adding meta data to your documents.
In MyInfo 4 tree columns will be more convenient to use, then ever before! The new version will feature the new Document Attributes pane, where you will have instant access to all tree columns (even the hidden one). Now you will need no longer to have all custom tree columns visible in the tree, if you use them for only a few documents in the topic, because you will be able to view and edit their values in the Document Attributes pane instead in the tree.
The new Document attributes pane will offer you a feature that was not possible in the MyInfo 3: now you will be able to set an attribute value for multiple selected documents, thus making the categorization of documents faster!
In conclusion, MyInfo 4 will offer the most powerful meta data capabilities, which aren’t available in any other PIM on the market! It will be the only PIM to offer both editable tree columns and document attributes in a attributes pane.

We have just finished the new MyInfo indexing feature. MyInfo 4 will feature much faster indexing (indexing allows you to get almost instant search results, when searching for text in your MyInfo files).
The tests show 500% to 2500% improvement and even more for larger files!

Auto Paste is a handy little feature, which allows you to collect information from other applications, even when MyInfo is minimized. In MyInfo 3 each time you copy information in an outside application, while Auto Paste is turned on, it was pasted in MyInfo as a new document in the tree.
This is useful, but sometimes, you have very short snippets of text that you want to paste in a single document and in this case, Auto Paste does not work as it should, because it pastes only as new document. We have extended this feature in MyInfo 4 and in this major new version, you can configure Auto Paste to paste the information in the currently active document, instead of pasting it as a new document.
The separator option will help you keep the pasted snippets more organized.

Let’s face it. Not everybody likes the current MyInfo shortcuts. Some people are used to other shortcuts for specific commands (like Shift+Ins for Paste) and others experience conflicts between MyInfo shortcuts and other application hotkeys. Because MyInfo has many commands and we have to assign almost each command a shortcut, some commands end up with really hard to use hotkey combinations.
That will change with MyInfo 4, because you will be able to select your own hotkeys for your favorite commands. There was a big demand for that feature on our forums, so we have heard our customers!
As you can see in the screenshot above, customize shortcuts feature will be intelligent enough to not let you assign the same hotkey to more than one command and if you do not like the customizations you have made to your keyboard shortcuts, you will always be able to reset them back to their default settings.
