[Zim-wiki] Folder structure
Hello guys! I have been in love with zim since the first minute. Specially love how easy it is to customise with python scripts and how it stores the notes in a folder/file structure allowing me to keep other types of documents together with the notes. This is not only tidy, it also enables me to access my notes even if Zim is not available with a simple text editor in any kind of device. That is the kind of flexibility I like for my notes applications. There is just on tiny thing that is not perfect for me in this file structure. I was wondering what is the reasoning behind this design. I think it will be better if I explain with an example: If I create a note A, I get a file name A.txt like this A.txt Now if create a second note B, I get this: A.txt B.txt Creating a subpage AA under the note A causes the creation of a folder A and the note AA inside it like this: A AA.txt A.txt B.txt Something similar happens when you had attachments. If A.doc is an attachment for note A and AA.xls is an attachment for note AA, you get this: A AA AA.txt AA AA.xls A.doc A.txt B.txt What bothers me is that I get files belonging to note A along side with note AA and away from note A.txt. This means if I'm working in the context of note A, I am editing a note file A.txt which is in the root of this tree and editing documents inside the folder A along side with AA.txt which I don't really need. If you always work inside Zim GUI, this is somewhat taken care of because the GUI interface allows for you to be editing the note while keeping the documents for that note visible in the same screen. But I think this breaks a little that flexibility I so much love in Zim. I was thinking about creating my own patch to solve this on my side without affecting Zim, but I was wondering if there is anything I am forgetting that I will break with this. And if not, it would also be interesting to know what you guys think about this and potentially officially change this.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Next in index, on same level?
2013/8/14 Jaap Karssenberg jaap.karssenb...@gmail.com: Afraid currently that is hardcoded. Coul dmake it optional, or could make the tree fold again after going to the next page. Point is that by fully disabling it, you have no direct view of sub-pages for cases where you do use them actively. True, subpages are often actually needed... and if I didn't favor flat, chronologic structures (since I end up tricking myself with overcomplicated structures otherwise) not having them show would be annoying. The most compatible solution would probably be binding the fold current tree and go to next to a new hotkey (Shift+Alt+Up/Down/PageUp/PageDown?) and make the folding an option. I made a makeshift solution with some gotchas by using AutoHotKey, that does just that though, so for me personally a clean implementation would be nice, but not high priority now. - 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] About priorities of tasks
On 16 August 2013 15:41, Klaus-Dieter Bauer bauer.klaus.die...@gmail.comwrote: I'd defninitely like negative priority too. Currently I am often adding !! by default, but sometimes I forget... As for the notation, how about something like -!!? Literally negating the priority indicator and unlikely to clash with existing notes. Nice idea. A very important task would then become a very unimportant task, which is very much the truth in many cases where the user decides against deleting it. On the other hand, if it would be acceptable to use ? to lower an already existing sequence of !, then the real question mark would be protected. TODO Is this really an urgent task? !!!?? TODO Wouldn't this task have an importance level of 0? !? This assumes that the user is inserting a space between the task text and the priority sequence. -- Svenn ___ 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
