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.

MyInfo internal web browser is a useful feature, which allows you to browse web addresses stored in MyInfo, without leaving the application. By default it uses Microsoft Internet Explorer engine to show web pages.
Many people prefer Mozilla Firefox as their default browser, so since version 3 of MyInfo, we offer an option to use the same engine that Firefox utilizes to show web pages: Mozilla Gecko.
Because this the distribution of this engine is not supported officially by the Mozilla Development Group, this is an experimental feature of MyInfo. It is not documented in the official help files and we offer no technical support for it.
If you love Firefox however, it is easy to set it up in MyInfo. All you need to do is the following:
- Download Mozilla Control Installer from our web site and install it.
- If you are not experienced working with Windows Registry, make a backup first.
- Run Windows Registry (you can do that by clicking Run command in the Start menu, typing “regedit” and clicking OK).
- Go to the “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Milenix\MyInfo\3\Options” registry key.
- Create a new DWORD Value with name “ShowMozillaOption” and value 1.
- Close Windows Registry and restart MyInfo.
- On the Tools menu, click Options and go to the Advanced tab.
- Check the newly available Use Mozilla As Internal Browser (experimental) option.
Now when you open web document, MyInfo will use the Mozilla Firefox engine instead of the Internet Explorer engine!
Please note that you need to install the Mozilla Control even if you have Firefox installed, because it is a separate software. It does not interfere with your current Firefox installation.

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.

People use MyInfo for a great variety of tasks: information storage, writing, project management, organizing roleplaying campaigns, and more.
Recently, we discovered that MyInfo makes an excellent recipe organizing tool. There are some specialized recipe organizer applications out there, which are better if you need calorie counting and other dieting features.
Otherwise, MyInfo has all what you need in a recipe organizer and offers you the freedom not available in the other tools. You already know how easy to use is MyInfo as information manager. As a recipe organizer it is also so easy and intuitive to use. We have included even cooking templates (for a cookbook and for a recipe) to help you start organizing your recipes right away. You can see a sample cookbook for MyInfo by downloading the Open Source Cookbook in MyInfo format.
If you are looking for recipe organizer, why not see all features that MyInfo offers as a recipe organizer?

MyInfo state icons is a nifty little feature that helps people organize their documents in the tree editor. MyInfo 3 includes a handful of predefined state icons like flags, task icons and emoticons. MyInfo 4 will include over 40 new state icons and we will add probably more after we hear your feedback during the best test.
However, no matter how many new icons we add, there will be always some special cases that require unique icons, which are not available by default. That is why, in MyInfo 4 you will be able to add you own state icons!
To make state icon use more productive, you will be able to customize the state icons context menu and even select keyboard shortcuts for these state icons. This will make assigning state icons to documents faster than ever before!
If you think that MyInfo 3 misses some useful state icons, please tell us in the comments and we may add them in the new version.

This was definitely one of your most requested new features for MyInfo. We have decided that MyInfo 4 is the right version for it.
MyInfo 4 will offer you full-featured spell-checking! Along with traditional spell-checking, MyInfo 4 will spell-check as you type (of course, if you don’t want this, you will be able to turn it off in the options).
As you see, you can words to the dictionary and what you could not see, is that the spell-checker learns from you. Each time you replace a misspelled word, the spell-checker takes a note and make better suggestions when you encounter a new misspelled word.
MyInfo 4 will ship with English dictionary (all variations of it: International, English, U.S., and Canada). We will offer dictionaries for all popular languages on our web site free for you to download.
We will continue with MyInfo 4 preview on Tuesday.
