Hi Terry, no, I do not need the mindmap stuff at all. I had a look at short look at cmaptools, and I agree the generalized graph approach seems better than a standard mindmap. But I am quite happy with the tree view in Leo and as you already mentioned, this can be extended with backlinks etc. I have used Leo already to organize reference documents and write documentation (using Latex).
What I do want is links to a particular page of a PDF - links to just a file are not enough when you refer to documents with 100+ pages. Unfortunately this seems to be difficult to achieve in a cross-platform way, particular when trying to support different PDF viewers. Docear is solving this (and other compatibility problems) by developing its own integrated viewer (I do not suggest to do this for Leo). On second thought, I don't think that extracting the bookmark and annotation info is really important to me - I would keep that info in the PDF, anyhow. I would write inside Leo addional notes, and the output text (in Latex). Some integration of Bibtex may be a good thing and needs to be thought out - perhaps by using JabRef for this, or by recycling some pyBibliographer code, but this is also low on my priority list. Offray seems to have a very similar use case as I - although I do not write a thesis, but specifications for scientific instruments. The point about cross-platform installation ease is also well taken, so I will look into some inter-operability here (either with docear or cmaptools). I see Leo mainly as a personal project / information manager: the leo tree is not easily shared with others, while the files Leo points to with @url, @auto, @file etc can be shared quite easily. In this I use Leo as *my personal* view on the project. - Josef - Josef -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
