Folio Word Processor

Description: Folio is a word processing tool that utilizes web browser technologies to satisy
basic word processing needs and to provide a user experience that is similar to long-established
programs such as Microsoft WordPad and Apple TextEdit. Despite the user of common web technologies,
Folio does not require an internet connection. Unless you choose to embed remotely hosted content,
all documents are exclusively handled and stored on your local system for maximum privacy.

This version of Folio is very likely to contain bugs. Please do not hesitate to report any issues
on MorphZone (https://morph.zone).


Installation:

- Copy the Folio folder to SYS:Applications so the "Folio" program is located at SYS:Applications/Folio/Folio


Minimum system requirements:

- Odyssey Web Browser
- Any machine that is able to run MorphOS 3.x.
- At least 256 MB of system memory.


Recommended system requirements:

- Mac Mini G4 or faster.


How to run

1. Double-click the Folio icon.


Alternative method:

1. You can run "Folio" from shell. You can load Folio documents by typing:
folio "yourdisk:yourfolder/yourfile.folio"


Recommended use:

1. Ensure Odyssey is configured to allow the opening of new sites in new windows (rather than
forcing the use of tabs).
2. Click the "pop up" button in the upper left corner of the toolbar to run Folio in single
window mode.


Known quirks:

When clicking inside text that uses non-standard line heights or letter spacing, this is not currently
visually represented by showing the exact settings in the respective drop down menus.

Zooming out might hide parts of the document below the toolbar. Please use 'focus mode' to review them or
zoom in.

Thanks

A big thank you to jPV for testing various development versions, suggestions and, perhaps most importantly, his
contributions to the documentation available at the MorphZone Library and elsewhere, which was of great help.

* Added support for locally installed fonts (including filtering of unsupported ones).
* Added User Interface Settings to enable users to adapt the application look so it can be
made to fit seamlessly into anyone's personalized OS environment.

but remains compliant with the HTML standard, thereby retaining full cross-platform compatibility.

or repeatedly pressing F2. (Useful to remove distractions and to increase the visible content in
smaller screen resolutions.)
