#TASKPAPER MAC SOFTWARE#
Usually i try out software for at least a couple of weeks, but i bought taskpaper after only 1 day. And yet, it does this not in a database layout such as Omni, it does this as a completely text based writing (text) style format. TaskPaper is a great app for gathering ideas in an outline format. It’s great for creating drafts as it makes finding the parts very easy and it also expands and collapses sections which I do or do not want to look at while I am concentrating on other things. I find that I use Taskpaper for most of my fleshing out of ideas when I write. Eventually I plan on moving to Scrivener for my writing. I use NVAlt for my daily tracking of things I have done. Those apps use database approaches and I am not knocking them if that is what you need. I have no worries that this is going to be in any way unsupported as an app.īottomline is that, there are more robust apps for task and file management.
#TASKPAPER MAC UPDATE#
He has continued to update and to upgrade TaskPaper in that time. I don't know the history of this developer although I have been using TaskPaper for the past three or so years. I also read a comment that the developer does not support his products very well. But, for whatever reason, I find TaskPaper very easy to use and very configurable. He sells a writing app for example which is primarily what I am using TaskPaper for. I know that the developer also sells similar apps with slightly different niches.
If you understand what a CSS file does then you understand what TaskPaper styles can do. TaskPaper does this by using something similar to a css file for each document. This includes page color, text color, line height, font style (for the whole paragraph or section), etc. OK, I can't add style to specific words (can't bold a word) but, I can style a document by what is under what level of a heading, notes styles, tasks style, and anything I want to style using a tag. But, I can add style to my documents very well. I can't paste graphics anywhere in TaskPaper. The only regret I have with TaskPaper is that it is totally plain text. This works for tags but it also works for specific sections in the document. If there is a part of my document that I want to go to a lot, then I can set that up as a search term in the sidebar. The same is true of pointB or pointC of course. Then I can either click on any instance of PointA and see all paragraphs in my document of PointA, or, I can create or embed a search for Point A which will appear on the sidebar. If I am doing research in a long document and I think, this section is about pointA, but it also has a meaning when examining pointB and pointC, then I can use as many tags after that section (paragraph) as I like, pointA, pointB, pointC. As tags are at the end of paragraphs, the found set shows all the paragraphs with the same tag after it. Then, anytime I click on a tag, TaskPaper instantly searches for all tags that are the same. I don't have to set up that tag anywhere in preferences, I just start using it anywhere. It uses internal tags which is, anything that is proceeded by the symbol. TaskPaper has tools that I make much use of. This has been especially true when I have been researching arguments in a legal document. As a writer I have trouble with getting bogged down in all sorts of areas. I use TaskPaper for helping me to breakdown complex ideas. I cannot comment on this type of workflow using TaskPaper as, ironically, that is not what I use TaskPaper for. They use date functions and all manner of things to do this. Many people use TaskPaper for keeping track of tasks. But, I am using it for slightly different reasons than what it was designed for.
