holy crap, you guys. this mostly sounds like BLAH BLAH BLAH to those of us who don't do this sort of thing. I love the idea of TW, but if i can't get it to handle the simple organizational and data management things i need, such as an easy way to have a small thumbnail image (like a book cover included in book data) i might have to do without and find another way.
I have many thousands of files i have to manage. Just today, i ran my duplication finder and got rid of 400 THOUSAND duplicate files. That happens because i have so many things to keep track of, and most programs just don't handle it well (take that back, One Note did handle it very well, but Microsoft screwed it up with their proprietary bullshit and their extortion of funds (another reason i quit using Word/Excel/etc). Now i can't and won't use them for that reason. But I'm still left with a slew of complex information that i need to streamline and organize somehow, and a business to run that does not slow down for this stuff. Which is why i was excited about TW. I don't have a problem dealing with a learning curve, but i do have a problem with documentation that is not written for everyone, instead of just for geeks. (I don't mean GEEKS in a derogatory way. I love and respect geeks. But hey, not all of us are that way. We have strengths in other areas) I'd love to pilot that spaceship, but alas, my experience is with terrestrial CARS.
