I just have some questions. I use Zim 0.60 on an xUbuntu 12.04. * Up to 0.59 (including 0.59), every time that I would stop typing, Zim would save the notebook after a few seconds. It doesn't do it anymore, Zim only saves the notebook on exit. I preferred the older way of auto-saving. Is there a way for changing it back to the continuous auto-save? * The new 0.60 is much slower on startup than 0.59. I did a: zim --index -V notebooks/(notebook name). It helped (a lot) with the speed of the startup but definitely not as fast as 0.59 which was almost instantaneous. After the startup I do not see much of difference in the speed. Am I the only one and doing something wrong or... Afraid I don't recognize either of those two items. Auto-save code has not changed at all in this release. Checking on my system is saves about every 10 seconds or when leaving a page. If this does not work on your system, please open a bug report. First time startup may indeed be slower due to the index being rebuild. After that there should be no delta. In fact on my system the new version is faster than the old one. Might help to run zim with debug logging and see at what debug output the time is spent. Also something that should go in a bug report. Regards, Jaap I can confirm the startup speed problem. I created a bugreport for it with some detail analysis. https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/1177718 If I understand it right, zim queries for an existing server on startup before starting a new one and has a ≈10 second timeout waiting for a response that will never come. kind regards, Klaus ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki Post to : zim-wiki@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Zim-wiki] new styles and index pain

So it would be styles which doesn't relate to layout but which carry workflow related semantics, example: instructions for further work like missing literature, go deeper into explanation. It's a little bit like the tasks FIXME... but while working with text it would be nice if these things are not only reflected by Kexwords which get visually lost but also visually. Other thinks are annotations and the summary of a page, which hast to be inline in Zim as there is no extra textfield for such things apart from the wikipage but because of this has to be seperated visually from text. I thin while typing the main categorial differance why I would like to use such styles is to make a visual differance between text and metatext. Of cause an even more attractive solution would be to work on different text files where one is the main text and one to many are metatext but I am sure that's a lot harder to implement. ... 8 ... For the workflow you may want to look at the tasklist plugin. You can track FIXME / TODO items (if they appear on a separate line) and find back all open items in the text from the dialog. Should work fine in combination with highlighting the text. For meta text have a look at this feature request: https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/1108760 it has a proof-of-concept plugin attached that might be close to what you want for annotations and summaries. Current work ongoing will allow to improve that proof-of-concept and make the side pane support formatting, links etc. as well.
