Normally during a research I get many pieces of information. I have photos, handwritten and scanned notes, graphics etc.
Usually I put them in a folder for later reference. But I find it very hard to connect the information afterwards.
I like the way people use index cards. You start with some index cards, one at a time and build heaps. Then you take one heap and put all the cards in front of you so you can see all of them at once. Sometimes you reorder them so similar cards are next to each other.
Then there is some creative thinking process and you are done.
Is there some tool that can simulate this process?
I know only of IrfanView and Microsoft Slideshow. But both only allow me to go through my images sequentially and I cannot define the order.
