AmigaOS 4: Beta version of Cinnamon Writer 0.95
Claus Desler's Cinnamon Writer is a "compact and efficient word processor developed especially with Amiga and Amiga-like systems in mind" which can import RTF and DocX files and offers a spellchecker.
Almost three years after the last release, at least for AmigaOS 4 a new beta version is available which among others supports inserting pictures. The version for MorphOS still has some bugs. Therefore it has not been released yet. A version of the Cinnamon Writer for AROS will be released if the author once is "happy with AOS4 and MorphOS versions."
Furthermore the author asks for your feedback: "If you believe that CW is not displaying your Docx document correctly, I would very much like to have the document sent to bugs@desler.be so I can correct the mistake. However, please be aware that I cannot fix problems with things like textboxes and tables since they are not supported by CW yet. Also remember, that if you havn't got the truetype font used in your word document installed on your amiga, the text will look different, and this is not a bug."
New functionality:
- Support for images
- UTF format support
- Improved spellchecking
- Optimizations and stability improvement
- Much, much, more
Known problems:
- CW chokes with large documents
- Printing/PDF exporting is still very experimental. I am looking for users who uses ghostscript and printer with their Amiga routinely
- Cursor problems
- Screen garbage when starting up. This issue has been reported to me, but I cannot reproduce it. If you see this bug please report which machine you are using and which version of AOS you are running
- Trying to open a CW Docx format in Word leads to a warning. Just trust the document, and it should load just fine
