About FlexWikiEditor and FlexWikiPad

FlexWikiPad is a completely separate effort from FlexWikiEditor. While both are Windows Forms applications that aim to make creating and managing FlexWiki content, they differ in their fundamental philosophy. Here is a list of differences:

• FlexWikiEditor is a connected application (you are editing a FlexWiki instance on a web server). FlexWikiPad is a disconnected application (you are editing files on your local hard drive, and use a different tool if you want to get them onto the web).
• FlexWikiEditor development is dormant at the moment. FlexWikiPad is in active development.
• FlexWikiEditor is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editing tool. FlexWikiPad is not - rather, what you see on the screen includes all the usual asterisks, quotes, and other bits of WikiFormatting that actually make up the page.
• FlexWikiEditor is being written by OmarShahine. FlexWikiPad is being written by CraigAndera.
• FlexWikiEditor has basic functionality in place and is checked in to source control. FlexWikiPad is not yet functional, and has not yet been checked in to the workspace.

None of these are meant to be statements about which of the two tools is better or worse. Rather, the intent is merely to point out the differences between the two tools.

Answer

Well if it's an end user tool, by definition it can be used as a testing tool . I'm actually finding that it kicks ass as an end user tool. It's much easier to visualize all the content in the TopicNamespace.

• I'm seeing the same thing, and I think DavidOrnstein is as well. He mentioned it on his blog. Omar is busy at MacWorld this week, but I imagine he'll get to it over the weekend. -- TommyWilliams
• Since I really just whipped this together, there isn't any robust error handling. The problem is that your Wiki's don't have Titles in them. You can add them by editing your _ContentBase and adding a Title: to the page. At that point it should work. I'll fix this when I can get a few minutes. -- OmarShahine
• That didn't fix it for me. I'll wait to see the version with more error handling. -- TommyWilliams
