 Personally, I prefer a solution that implements something like sshfs or
 rsync+ssh.  I've also considered the idea of using subversion or git over
 ssh...but I don't know that I have a space online that would allow me to set
 up the necessary version repositories.

If you only have about ~1MB of data, you should try Conduit
(http://live.gnome.org/Conduit). If you are using Gnome, you could create a
network place using sftp and maintain a local folder synchronized with it.
I'm not using it because I have more things than Zim, and because the space in
my ssh-capable host is quite limited. But for little data, is a good way to
have automatic synchronization in a user friendly way.

In fact, if you use a two-way synchronization, you can have a almost
perfect clone of Dropbox (to sync two or more computers) for free and using
your own server.

Re: [Zim-wiki] 1:1 vs. piped links

2009-11-23 Thread Beni Cherniavsky

 I think it should be a switch - a button on the toolbar that toggles the
 functionality on and off like the read-only toggle.   There should be a
 keystroke for it, too, of course.

 Sorry, not following.  Toggle which functionality?  Autolinking on/off?
Editing changes link/label?  Something else?


 I'm finding that I'm spending a lot of time going back and removing
 GUI-generated links (in Zim) - more time doing that, in fact, than I would
 manually entering links to begin with.

 What I would like to have (to do, perhaps) with the Zim GUI is what was
 suggested regarding a checkbox or radio button that will turn the
 auto-linking associated with CaML case on/off.

 I am working mostly with software development documentation and notes -
 /everything/ is CaML case - I don't mind having to hit ^L to make some text
 into a link.

 Edit - Preferences - Editing - Autolink CamelCase checkbox!
It's there in both perl zim and pyzim.
Or do you mean make it accessible from toolbar  keystroke so that you can
change it frequenly?


 I would also Like the color coding of broken links tha was suggested, since
 my common workflow is - type in the literal links (this would be with the
 option mentioned above turned on), then make another pass through the text
 creating and editing links.

 Most wikis have some kind of coding for broken links.  Anybody sees a
reason we shouldn't follow?


 In addition to those points, I will add that in most cases the link
 generation in Zim is find - I like being able to type e.g. Glossary:TCP and
 get a link that - when I click it will create a page in the Glossary that I
 can fill in.   I just need to be able to disable that functionality to keep
 e.g. spurious links from being generated when I want to use the literal
 page-name string instead of the link - if I format the string (e.g. as
 literal, bold, italic or whatever - that helps, but formatting is
 often lost, and the links re-generated.  Probably this is different topic,
 though.

 M$ Office AutoCorrect/AutoFormat leverages Undo for similar functionality:
the autolinking/autoformating is added to the undo list as a separate action
from the typing, so that you can just type and press Ctrl+Z to supress the
autothings when your don't want them.

Currently in zim they are fused: FooBarSPACE turns it into a link when you
add the SPACE; Ctrl+Z removes the link but also the SPACE; pressing
SPACE again to continue typing restores the link.

So maybe we want to adopt the separately-undoable autolinking model?
It doesn't solve other questions but it does give a one-press way to decide
autolinking case-by-case.

 Correction: in perl zim it already worked the smart way!  In pyzim, the
actions are fused.
I'll file a feature request in the tracker for pyzim.
