I don’t need sync at all. But does nvPY have a word count feature (displayed in a status bar, like Resophnotes)? That would be essential for me. Even Knowsynotes only displays word count in edit mode, and only if one actually clicks inside the edit pane, which is not ideal.

So far Resophnotes is working the best for me (word count displayed in status bar, list of text files displayed in reverse chronological order, decent Markdown rendering, least no. of steps for creating new files).

Hm, after using Resophnotes for a few hours I noticed that it’s quite easy to accidentally overwrite your previous files, if you happen to create a new note with the same title/file name as an existing one. I’ve already lost two files before realising this. And there doesn’t seem to be a way to recover them, once you’ve done that.

As my main need is to be able to save different versions of a developing text for archival purposes (incrementally numbered) and also to be able to compare the word count easily, accidental deletion of files prevents me from doing that.

I think that will conclude my experimentation with Resophnotes, and I’m going back to Knowsynotes for now…

(Boy, do I wish CT had Markdown support…)

If I understand correctly, I think you can do this in WM, using the Jumps function [Alt+J], click ‘Files ’ at the top, and select a ‘Folder’ at the bottom. It only picks up txt files in your selected folder.

MenAgerie, thank you so much! This is just fabulous, I had no idea you can do this is in WriteMonkey!

And the Jumps window effectively turns WriteMonkey into a dual-pane outliner! Sweet…
