Treepad 8.1 review: Tree-style outliner starts showing its age

June 23, 2014

Treepad is one of the oldest still-supported outlining programs for the Windows environment. It has a rich set of features, with multiple versions serving different user bases (this review focuses primarily on Treepad Biz). Unfortunately, it is beginning to show signs of age. Tree-style outliners, such as Treepad, offer users the ability to arrange information hierarchically, which is useful for many situations or needs. Because the user is free to create their own categories and structures according to what makes sense to them in a given context, they are not forced to work according to a third party’s idea of the “correct” way to organize data. For example, one might wish to organize books by genre, then by author, or vice-versa, or by character and then by individual works featuring that character. Advanced outliners, such as Treepad, include rich text, tables, internal and external hyperlinks, revision control, and many other such features.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
