 hello!

 i want a WYSIWYG flowchart designer for zim

 example: http://www.diagram.ly/ which is very powerful, lightweight and
 easy to use

 is there a chance to have it in zim?


Best way to have something like that is to look for a desktop application
that you like and then embed the images in zim. Depending on which platform
you use (windows or linux) there are different choices of programs that can
be used for this.

There is two ways to add external programs to zim. First is to put it as a
custom tool, second is to put a template file and insert it with Insert
- New Attachment.

Hello Jaap, and J.A. de Vries -

I'd like to follow up on adding folding to Zim. Have yet to find this
listed on the Wiki, as mentioned below.

Has there been any progress, and/or is there still interest in this feature?

Thanks!

Hi Jaap,

 Maybe you could set up a small page on the dev wiki here:
 http://www.zim-wiki.org/wiki/doku.php . Please specify criteria that
 the plugin needs fulfill in order to claim the bounty, and how to
 contact you to claim it etc.

Will do that. Might take a couple of days due to work.

 I can link the wiki page from the main website.

 To give a first shot on the technical impact: looks like gtksourceview
 can support marks in the window margin, which could be used to trigger
 fold/unfold. Also it looks like next release of gtksourceview will
 have a special API for folding.

That would be great. It should make things a whole lot easier to
implement and maintain.

 So either we need to make zim's editor inherit from gtksourceview and
 build on that API, or emulate the relevant code to enable similar
 features in zim.

I don't know the inner workings of zim too well, but if the first option
could provide the functionality I need, then I'd suggest the first
alternative. The more generic the code the better in my experience.

 Main challenge is to get the folding marks (icons) in the marging and
 keep them uptodate. The hiding of a piece of text is almost trivial.
 Adding some widget / keybinding to fold/unfold all up to a certain
 level needs some design but is probably easy to implement as well.

Glad to hear that!

I'll try to make some time this weekend to write down the specs for what
I would like to have.

P.S. I am willing to sponsor other bounties as well, if you want me to.
Just contact me if I can help.

Grx HdV

Big interest on my part - but I'm pretty useless when it comes to
programing anything more complicated than Hello world. Maybe I can scare
up a little cash to help to sweeten the bounty. (emphasis on little - I
have two daughters heading into college and another not far behind.)
