I have a bunch of different files stored in a folder hierarchy in Dropbox, and I am hoping to find a wiki that can effectively "live beside" the files. Then I can put the documentation for files in the same directories as the files themselves.WikiPages looks great, except it appears that it doesn't understand a folder hierarchy. All files end up in a single folder, and creating a wiki link [[A/B]] makes a file B.markdown (and then the link doesn't work). Any plans to make it understand folders?

Hi Willard, sorry for the late reply. There are no immediate plans to support a hierarchical folder structure. It's a good idea to store as much information as possible in the filename of each page so it doesn't loose context outside the system, and as such using prefixes like WorkSomePage, HomeSomeOtherPage, etc helps to differentiate pages from each other in the filesystem while also keeping metadata about the page in its filename.

Regards,
Mark
