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.
