Thank you very much for letting us know about your Halloween holiday offer, Vlad1980!! It's greatly appreciated!

For all these who missed AllMyNotes giveaway in August 7. Due to Halloween holiday we are doing giveaway of version 1.37 here:

Quoting Vladonai Software in the comment section:

Here is an instruction how to convert this GOTD build in to a PORTABLE version:

1. Go to the directory where AllMyNotes is installed. By default it’s folder path “c:\Program Files\AllMyNotes Organizer\”
2. Copy this folder to your USB media (any location)
3. Create empty Portable.sig file in to the folder (must be same path where allmynotes.exe file is located). Existence of this file will SWITCH PORTABLE MODE ON. You will see this in About screen, it will say ‘Portable Mode’.

That’s it! Your AllMyNotes is Portable now!

Note: This Portable version only launches in Deluxe mode on the PC(s) on which the program was activated August 7, 2010.

Thank you Robert for this added bit of info.

Another nice gesture from the developer

It will be possible to use Portable version in Deluxe mode, but with
one restriction – on computers where GOTD installer wasn’t used it will work as Free version.

For details how to do it please contact technical support Monday – we’ll provide details how to do it, cause special steps are needed to convert GOTD build in to Portable version. As it’s day off today we have bit limited support resources to provide all needed instructions today.

Evernote version 2 is/was great.
Too bad the FF addon doesn't work anymore on the newer versions of Firefox.
(Clipping extension still works in IE though)
... but there's still the (less practical) universal clipper.

If AllMyNotes had some sort of web clipper.. I'd dump Evernote for sure.
:)

I have put this revised comment here in order to help others faster if they have problems with this software.

The original version is awaiting moderation at the moment and I fear it may be accepted too late to help my fellow GOTD members!

So here goes:

When I first installed The GOTD version, I ended up with the free version not the Deluxe.

In my case, it may be because I have used the free version in the past and that even after uninstalling (which I did before installing this GOTD version), it leaves traces somewhere well hidden that blocks me from getting the Deluxe version.

In any case, I have sent a message to the company support staff in hopes of having a solution to this problem.

As for the program, I can say that the free version I have tested is not much different than others alternatives mentionned here.

I was looking forward to try this "Deluxe" version just for the Rich Text and picture embedding capacities but cannot because of my (Unique?) problem.

====================================================================================================

Last minute writer's edit:

As I was finishing writing this comment, M. Volodymyr Frytskyy (One of the two creators from Vladonai Software) emailed me a solution to my problem.

Check out about these two creators here: http://www.vladonai.com/about.php

And "Good News", the fix worked like a charm and I now have the "Deluxe" version which I can test fully against my Evernote 2 (my preferred solution at the moment).

So thank you very much, Mister Frytskyy!

===================================================================================================

Alternatives I use (or have used) are:

Keynote (both the original from Marek Jedlinski (AKA Tranglos) and the NF (for New Features) taken up by Daniel Pradov after Tranglos declared a "hobby programmer bankruptcy, a writer's block, an intellectual meltdown to incapacity".

Original (Still available but quite old): http://www.tranglos.com/free/keynote.html

Daniel Pradov's version: http://code.google.com/p/keynote-nf/

Evernote (both the new (limited when free) 3 version and the older version 2).

I'm fortunate to have kept a copy of version 2 from my old computer as this is the one I use (and like) the most for its capacity for text, graphics and HTML (Web page) abilities.

The two programs Ashraf has mentionned are flawed (for my use at least), Cintanotes is too simple and only text oriented and FruitfulTime Notekeeper is an end-of-line product (no longer maintained) which I have tested and found so intrusive (it would insist on loading at Windows startup with no way of telling it not to) and was so awkward to use that I just gave up on it.

To finish, If you have problems with this program, don't hesitate and write to the creators as I have done, the support link is at: http://www.vladonai.com/allmynotes_support_contact.php

To conclude, I can say I am impressed by the creators of this software for the speed of their response and the willingness to help out (even us "free" users)
