Folio is a technical proof of concept that leverages the sophisticated Webkit layout engine included in the Odyssey Web Browser to provide a modern word processing tool that fulfills most common needs. Its current feature set and capabilities are comparable to those found in Microsoft WordPad and Apple TextEdit.


Features:

• Folio saves self-contained documents (including images) that can be opened and edited with Libre Office, and various other office suites. They can also be viewed with any reasonably modern web browser on any platform.
• Unlike cloud-only editors, Folio does not require to submit data to the internet to work, thereby ensuring that your personal information stays safe and is only shared with other computers when you choose to do so.
• It requires no internet / network connection to work at all.

Known quirks:

• Saving files opens a blank window hiding the editor, which needs to be closed manually.
• File names need to be entered inside the MorphOS file requester every time you save a document regardless of whether you previously entered a file name or not.
  
• Dragging images around inside the document can duplicate images. For moving around images, it is recommended to cut out images and then paste them after you position the text cursor via mouse or keyboard.
• When you use the "pop up" button in the toolbar to run Folio in its own window, you will still see a tab bar even though it is technically redundant.

Most or all of these could be addressed given sufficient interest.

Very important: Due to an unfortunate issue with OWB v1.24, Folio specifically requires that you also install a local copy of version 1.23 of Odyssey. You can download it here: Odyssey v1.23


If you are interested in word processing, please do not hesitate to give Folio a try and compare it to other available options in terms of performance and functionality.
