so you can file your outlines by topic (I'd want to keep it within Outliner). I create workshops and do all my outlines here first. Been using this for at least 10 years and have found it the best (better than toodledo!). I have recommended it to my students as well (for writing papers).

CarbonFin is the closest outliner I have found that compares to the wonderful classic Grandview outliner program. (Grandview was sold decades ago to Symantec (the security company) who promptly abandoned it (sigh). As a television writer I used Grandview all the time to outline my scripts. One feature it had was the ability to "Send" an item to appear indented under another item with just a keyboard shortcut. Grandview had many other features, but I'd settle for Carbonfin having this feature, Here's a link to a Google book summary of Grandview's features: https://books.google.com/books?id=Eq0wALnyM_MC&q=%22grandview%22+%22friend%22+outliner&pg=PA34#v=snippet&q=%22grandview%22%20%22friend%22%20outliner&f=false

Every time I search the outline is left with bunches of expanded items and I have to go through and close them all manually. Is that going to be fixed any time soon?

What will happen to my outlines should you decide to discontinue product or (Heaven forbid) die? Fabulous product. I use it more than any other. 😎

I’ve been using CarbonFin for at least 12 years. It offers unlimited levels of hierarchy while remaining light, intuitive, and durable. It synchronizes my data among all my IOS and Windows devices through the company’s servers for free. No other outliners offer the above. But I am frankly concerned about it’s business model. How does the company support itself? Is it bound to shut down its servers for lack of funds? Will it keep on supporting new IOS versions?

I would like to be able to control the order of the outlines on my desktop. I do not currently see a way to do so.

don’t view keyboard

I’d like to be able to hide (automatically after a preset delay) completed items, not delete them. So I have the option to unhide them when I want to look at completed work.

Tags would be more useful if any element can be tagged.
Love the app and bought it :)

I use a number of machines and have loved the ability to directly edit OPML files in a Dropbox folder on Linux or MacOS, and have them synced automagically with Outliner on my iOS devices. But Dropbox is becoming much less friendly; now I'm limited to only three devices, unless I pay a high price for a premium account. Any chance you could support syncing via Box, Mega, Google Drive, etc? Something Linux-friendly would be ideal.

When I look down an outline there doesn’t seem to be enough separation between levels. It just looks like one long list.

Stupidly, I swiped left to remove the list of outlines from the screen. Instead of the list of outlines going away, I deleted a file because that's the default swipe left action. Can I have a "you are an idiot" warning message to confirm that I actually want to delete the outline please.

actually I can find if a word is in an outline from the main list by searching but if I want to edit it I need to open that outline and to search agin right in it
I would need to get this in one step if possible
thanks

At the moment, I have the choice of 1 line preview or seeing the whole note. Many of my notes are very long. It would be easier if I could have options for 1-line, 2 line or 3 line previews. This lets me see enough of the note to get the context without losing most of the screen when the note is long.

Outliner would be much more useful if I could add or link pictures to an outline or element within Outliner.

A way to archive or permanently hide completed tasks without fully deleting them. So that this weeks completed tasks can be seen, but not all completed tasks, from previous weeks But that all completed tasks are not loss and can be shown for a longer over view of completed weeks. IE, tasks are archived instead of deleted, and archive tasks can be shown separately to just showing completed tasks.

In the online version, it appears that grabbing the three lines next to an item and attempting to drag to another position in the outline does not work. Am I doing this wrong?

Lock a parent title and pie in place on an outline, so that when all completed sibling tasks in it a hidden or deleted, parent remains for next weeks tasks to be added.

I know you can use the return and make a non-task, but then all children and siblings are also created as non tasks and is a pain.

Even on a large web desktop screen, we're stuck on 526 (or is it 800px) width. I tried fiddling the CSS to achieve this and couldn't. It would be optimal if it will resize to fill the entire window port available. Thanks!
