Hello!

I write cross-platform (Windows and Linux) program OutWiker (open source). The English version of the site program: http://jenyay.net/Outwiker/English

Key Features:

* The base is stored as a directory tree on disk.
* Plugins supporting.
* Any number of files can be attached to each note.
* Pages can be of different types.
* Attached images can be inserted into the HTML-page.
* HTML syntax highlighting.
* Tags support.
* Support for bookmarks.
* Each tree branch can be opened as a separate wiki.
* Icons for notes.
* Cross-platform (Windows and Linux).
* Portability. Program all the settings can be stored in its directory.
* Open-source program.
* The ability to create links between pages.
* Global search on your notes and search by tags.
* Batch job with the tags.

Sorry for my english. I would be grateful for the comments in the English text.

Jenyay, welcome to the forum and all the best for Outwiker's development. Looks like an interesting concept.

I personally appreciate the open nature of the project, relying on the file system, as well as its Linux operation, The choice of outliners in Linux is very limited.

I have cross-referenced this thread with an older one, as Outwiker could be a possible solution to that question: http://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/viewt/3166/0/notetaker-that-uses-the-filesystem-and-has-powerful-search

I love the idea, but although I was able to add a page, I couldn't figure out how to add any text to the page.

What exactly happens? Windows? Write, please, file c:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\.outwiker\outwiker.log

Jim, it works fine for me on Windows.

What I suspect: if you run Outwiker directly from its program directory, it will try to create its files there and Windows may not give it the necessary rights. Create a shortcut and set My Documents as the "Start in" directory. It should work OK.

That should be "Create a shortcut to Outwiker.exe and set My Documents as the ?Start in? directory."

Thanks for the suggestion Alexander - I tried it, still not working.

I can highlight a note in the notes tree but the editing area does not become "enabled" - it just stays gray.

I sent a screenshot and log to Jenyay ... he'll probably see what the problem is.

Jim, I had a similar problem ... here's what worked for me:

1. The top node can't be edited. It is a container for the other nodes in the outline. Once I made a child, I could edit.
2. After creating a simple outline, I got stuck again. I could see my work, but couldn't edit. I realized the pane where my work was had three tabs: wiki, preview, html. you can't edit in "preview" ... only wiki and html.

For all:
its an interesting program, with potential. My only concern right now is how well it scales up ...
I have a mid-sized text file I pulled into the program intending to break up into chunks and play with - it worked, but took some time. It might be I have an older computer (I do), but what was easy in CT and other programs was slow here.

I'll write again in a few days, when I've played more. My next test will be seeing how well it handles an annotated bibliography.

According to log, which is sent jimspoon, he correctly create the page but there are errors when initializing IE.

I upload new plugin "Spoiler" - http://jenyay.net/Outwiker/SpoilerEn . This plugin append wiki command for insert a hidden (collapsed) text (a spoiler).

This looks interesting. I have two questions:

- Does the wiki markup of Outwiker follow the syntax of a well-known wiki? Is there a reference?

- Is it possible to link from one Outwiker page to another via wiki markup?

Wiki markup is similar to pmWiki (http://www.pmwiki.org/ but there are differences in some details.

- Is it possible to link
from one Outwiker page to another via wiki markup?

Yes. For Example [[/root_page/page1/page2 | link text]], or [[link text -> /root_page/page1/page2]] or [[/root_page/page1/page2]].

For links to child pages can use the notation [[link text -> childpage]] or [[link text -> childpage1/childpage2]]

Hello I just posted a new version of OutWiker. Changes in this version include:

* Redesigned properties dialog page.
* Wiki commands for decoration options for users and community livejournal.com removed from the program into a plugin.
* Added the wiki syntax coloring in the editor.
* Added ability to change the style pages.
* Now to align text to the wiki pages other than %center% and %right% you can use %left% and %justify%.
* Many small improvements.

You can download the new version of the page http://jenyay.net/Outwiker/English

PS. I accept comments on the English localization of the program and the English version of Help. :)

I have a page with OutWiker unstable versions - http://jenyay.net/Outwiker/UnstableEn . I there post the assembly as they develop. Who posted the first assembly of the future version 1.7 (1.7.0.651). Fixed bug where thumbnails were not created in a wiki page, if the file extensions with pictures contain uppercase letters.

I hope you do not mind if I write here about the new unstable builds as they become available?
