Isn't the GTK used by NoteCase rather outdated too? It cannot do tables, struggles with encoding, web clips are not faithful, no numbered lists, etc. Even updating to GTK3 will not resolve most of these limitations (I could be wrong about this claim). Don't misunderstand. I like NoteCase a lot and find it very useful. I imagine it is extremely appealing to those using multiple platforms, but I am just on Windows.

Pleasure. I don't recommend new users to buy whizfolders though.

I'm moving off from Whizfolders. Well I actually have stopped.

It's written in an ancient SDK.
Which is why essentially it's dead and will only receive minor updates,
nothing major as in others.

Converting RTF to markdown needs first converting to docx.
The similar software which is free, Atomic Scribbler outputs into docx,
more efficient, nicer to use too and faster to create in.

Scribbler also has a modern user interface and is relatively new and
unlike the dead-end whizfolders has a roadmap of major features planned.

Whizfolders will probably have minor tweaks but will slip back into
abandonware phase again after minor cosmetics which will be it's final
resting place.

Because it's easier to rewrite something in modern user interface than
any major changes. Problem other apps like ConnectedTex are also facing.
They're essentially dead, not worth rewriting from scratch in modern
interface classes. Whiz was a chunky minor app with better alternatives
but ConnectedText is a tragedy. It was unique.

I suggest for people new to outlining on Windows to outline on NoteCase
Pro, very cheap also free lite versions on many platforms. Then transfer
notes further up.

For small articles or projects use free atomic scribbler, free.

For large projects, scrivener windows 3 beta is free, released every few
months. To be released within a year. Will be relatively cheap, a must
buy and will sync with their Mac version in a free cloud account too if
using multi platforms like some of us.

Avoiding dying old SDK based apps is always good. Specially if they have
been comatose abandonware recently. Also it's much nicer to work in apps
written in modern interfaces, because they're much faster and more
efficient and guaranteed major updates and features for years to come
depending on developer's roadmap.

If new to Windows outliners then can actually get free versions of below
and when scrivener 3 is released for under fifty dollars or so, let's
face it you better buy it anyway.
