OutWiker 1.7

I remember evaluating this program awhile back and moving on after some buggy experiences. However, I’ve tested this latest version in Windows, Linux Mint 14, and Ubuntu 12.04 and it works very nicely. I especially like the three tabs for viewing Wiki Markup, Preview, and HTML code. (In fact, I wish ConnectedText had this ability to view and edit HTML+CSS code directly). Other comments: I found adding attachments straight forward, but I was dumbfounded at first why I couldn’t add a image/picture using a “Browse” dialog box. It seems that Outwiker treats pictures/images similarly to attachments—I (think)—I had to first attach a picture to the note and then insert it into the wiki area, which seems to be one step to many. Also, I would have liked some file attachment meta data other than just the file name, such as file type, size, date created/modified/uploaded.

Personal preferences aside, it’s nice to see such a promising cross-application wiki note-taking system.
Keep up the great work!
