i’m working on fixing an annoying bug - the richedit control (used in the Text View and in searching the entire file) sometimes bombs when rtf text is loaded into it, eg when you do a search, or clicking on an item. at least it does on some people’s systems - i haven’t been able to replicate it, even when someone sent me a file that was bombing! it might be some difference in richedit dll versions (people might have different versions on their systems). i should have a prerelease version of 1.2c fairly soon that will either fix the problem or at least provide some more information on what’s going on. it will also have some more export formats - i’ll try and squeeze xml export into it before the final release.

As I commented previously, RTF is unfortunately a Microsoft trap, a neverending bog; it killed Keynote and it is killing its replacement as well and I am afraid it will kill your programm, too. Your best bet is to convert RTF to html.
Meanwhile, I am using Tiddlywiki until something better comes along.

hah, you might be right - it’s pretty annoying dealing with the richedit control - seems to waste a lot of time that would be better spent elsewhere. and i haven’t even added images yet, which would require messing with COM, which would really tie it to windows, which i really don’t want to do.
there’s also abiword, a gpl wordprocessor, which might be adaptable.
for my purposes though, i’d be happy with just wiki markup, convert to html, and display with any decent html displayer. hmm, yeah, i think it would be best to go that route… images would be a million times easier to add that way also. plus wiki-type links also…
yeah, those wiki notetakers are really cool - i’d like to move neomem in that direction
