TPAssistCapture version 1.3 - Release notes

TPAssistCapture for Mindjet® MindManager® has been updated.

This update introduces hot key functionality, includes the new look capture dialog boxes developed for TPAssist 2007 version 1.8 and also includes some minor bug fixes.

The new look capture dialog box, where Category/TAG and Link At are displayed side by side and each list areas is wider allowing for longer Quick Link title. The new capture dialog box also includes configurable ALT keys and buttons to increase the speed at which frequently used Quick Links can be accessed. Next to the Category/Tag and Link at label is a text box for searching the category/tag list. In addition, whilst searching you can use the UP and DOWN arrow keyboard keys to select the PREVIOUS/NEXT item that matches the search string. This new capture dialog box is used in the Capture Tool in Windows System Tray, within MindManager's send topic and send map commands, and within Capture for Microsoft Outlook.

This version now has system wide Hotkey capability (configured via the options for the Capture Tool in the Windows System Tray).

UPDATE: TPAssistCapture - new name, updated and enhanced

We have taken advantage of the need to fix an issue with working Mindjet Connect maps and released an update. In addition we have added a significant enhancement and also changed the name of this TPAssist 2007 companion product to align it more appropriately with our future plans.

The new functionality extends the existing ability relating to sending whole maps, by allowing you to capture and send topics and topic trees. The new name, TPAssistCapture, is aligned to our TPAssist 2007 future plans. So whilst not essential, if you aren't working with Mindjet Connect maps, we would encourage you to visit our Download pages on the web and update your installation as your earliest convenience.

Remember, before applying this update, process all captured items, then close Mindjet MindManager and the capture tool in your System Tray (Right-Click on the capture icon and choose "Close"). The update will install quickly and easily, and your settings and configurations should stay the same, providing you clear down your capture items, close MindManager and also close the System Tray Capture tool.

GTD Summit, MindManager® and TPAssistCapture - Capture, Process, Reduce Distraction

We've published a new video demonstrating TPAssistCapture.

This video uses participation at the recent GTD Summit to illustrates how TPAssistCapture for Mindjet® MindManager® can be used to instantly capture, queue and process your ideas, tasks, notes and next actions.

See it on the TPAssistCapture product page on our web site.

Introducing TPAssistCapture For Mindjet® MindManager®: How Does it work?

TPAssistCapture For Mindjet® MindManager®
Instantly capture, store and process your ideas, tasks, notes and next actions.

The purpose of TPAssistCapture is to help you keep focused on the task at hand, by giving you the means to instantly capture, store and process your ideas, tasks, notes and next actions(1).

How does TPAssistCapture Work?

TPAssistCapture operates on Quick Links which is a method to send ideas, tasks, notes and next actions directly to the mind map you use to manage them (STEP 1).

You start by configuring your categories or tags and defining where in your mind maps these items should be delivered. As you uncover, discover or receive ideas, tasks, notes and next actions, you simply use TPAssistCapture to store them to a basket for processing (STEP 2).

Then when ready, you use TPAssistCapture to extract the items from the queue and send them to your mind maps (STEP 3).

TPAssistCapture uses a mind map, the "Quick Links Map" to store and manage your capture categories/tags. The capture process is performed by the Capture Tools (i.e. System Tray icon, and the Send Topic and Send Map capabilities in MindManager). These capture tools are purposely "decoupled" from MindManager for efficiency and speed, and also so that you can work away in MindManager on key focus items independently of your capture process.

What is TPAssistCapture?

Is this familiar?

You are working away on your highest priority when something new arrives... an e-mail, the phone rings, a knock on the door or your mind wonders.

You realise that you can't deal with the item quickly because it needs further attention?

This is a potential distraction because this new thing has your attention and it may not be the best thing to be doing right now. Therefore you must capture it for consideration at another time...

Is there an answer...

Sure, single-Click TPAssistCapture Capture, type in your note. Tag it. Send it.

Great, in an instant you have recovered your focus.

So later, when your high priority items complete, you'll be ready to process your "In-Tray" again. Just open MindManager, choose TPAssistCapture "Process Basket" and collect your ideas, tasks, notes and next actions. Then use your maps to manage your next actions as suggested in the Getting Things Done (GTD) approach...
