Re: [Zim-wiki] Autocompletion plugin
Ooh, I haven't had a chance to try it yet but that sounds exciting! In that thread you mentioned Workflowy having both @ and # tags, which is something I'd love to have in Zim. It seems like it should be easy to do as a little plugin, but I'm not a programmer* so maybe not. I'd also love to see previews in tag searches (for example of the line the tag is on), but that sounds harder. I don't know how other people place their tags, but I often put them near the content they apply to (as opposed to all together at page bottom or top). *(though if anyone wants to point me to some novice resources, I'd like to try to learn at least enough to cobble something together when things like this come up) Colin colintedford.com ___ 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] Autocompletion plugin
Hi, In that thread you mentioned Workflowy having both @ and # tags, which is something I'd love to have in Zim. It seems like it should be easy to do as a little plugin, but I'm not a programmer* so maybe not. Yes, me, too ☺ What I have seen so far, this needs some restructuring in the tags plugin, the tasklist plugin and the main pageview incl. some database changes. I will try to take care of it when I’ve completed the autocompletion plugin hoping that I’ve understood Python and the Zim structure good enough to manage that ;) I'd also love to see previews in tag searches (for example of the line the tag is on), but that sounds harder. Not sure, which search you are referring to. The main search or the tasklist search? What would you like to preview? I don't know how other people place their tags, but I often put them near the content they apply to (as opposed to all together at page bottom or top). I created a template where I have this structure: == M001-2014-07-16-ZimWiki == Created Friday 30 May 2014 === Participants === @Murat -- That’s why I’d like to differentiate between people tags and other tags @Colin === Contexts === @Autocompletion @ZimWiki == My meeting with Colin about zim wiki tags == __ · My meeting notes · And other notes [ ] I need to complete autocompletion [d:2014-07-30] @Murat !!! · Also look into # and @ tags if possible o @Colin likes this feature as well __ Additional note, which could give you some additional ideas: Whenever I happen to bump into something which is discussed more often in several meetings I ‘export’ this topic into a sub page (e.g. 001-OngoingTopics-ZimWiki) below the main page (e.g. : 004-0060-ZimWiki) and adding links between each other So my tree looks like this: 004-Projects 004-0060-ZimWiki 001-OngoingTopics-ZimWiki T001-Autocompletion M001-2014-07-16-ZimWiki With this content: == 001-OngoingTopics-ZimWiki == Created Friday 30 May 2014 === Contexts === @ZimWiki @001-OngoingTopics == T001-Autocompletion == Created Friday 30 May 2014 === Contexts === @Autocompletion @ZimWiki __ LINK: M001-2014-07-16-ZimWiki [ ] I need to complete autocompletion [d:2014-07-30] @Murat !!! · Also look into # and @ tags if possible o @Colin likes this feature as well __ == M001-2014-07-16-ZimWiki == Created Friday 30 May 2014 === Participants === @Murat @Colin === Contexts === @Autocompletion @ZimWiki == My meeting with Colin about zim wiki tags == __ · My meeting notes · And other notes === Ongoing Topics === LINK: T001-Autocompletion __ Regards Murat ___ 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] Autocompletion plugin
I'd also love to see previews in tag searches (for example of the line the tag is on), but that sounds harder. Not sure, which search you are referring to. The main search or the tasklist search? What would you like to preview? The main search. Currently if I search for @Murat it will show me a list of pages that contain that tag: 1 - Journal:2014:07:16 What I'd like (at least optionally) to see in addition is the line containing the tag, like you might see in a web search: 1 - Journal:2014:07:16 2014-07-16@03:45 // #checkout @Murat's current implementation of the auto completion plugin for #ZimWiki (latest post, attachment autocompletion.py): https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/1322201 I'm mainly using tags to make it easier to find things in my journal / personal log, which consists of many small entries. Each entry is a single line of up to paragraph length. Currently I enter them in files outside of Zim and periodically import them (I'm still working out my system); in Zim I put the entries for each day on that day's Calendar/Journal page. When I search for a tag I would like to see a collection of these little entries instead of having to click through to a bunch of journal pages and find them within the pages. I would also find this sort of preview useful for the occasional tags I use on normal Zim pages. Out of curiosity I (re-)installed the Task List plugin (I tried it out a while back, before my current log/journal experiments) and it basically does what I want! A non-Todo-oriented plugin could reuse Task List code if someone wanted to do that, but for now I can just misuse Task List by putting checkboxes on my entries and telling Task List to index 1 - Journal. Thanks for pointing me in that direction! Every time I think I've bumped against a limit of Zim, I end up even more impressed with it -- what a great program!

Thanks for pointing me in that direction! Glad I could help ☺ If I’m not mistaken, the task list plugin would index Journal pages out of the box. For the tasklist plugin I already suggested to have the tags in a separate column, so this print output could be used to send meeting minutes right away… Every time I think I've bumped against a limit of Zim, I end up even more impressed with it -- what a great program! Indeed. When digging into the code, my respect to Jaap grew per line of code...
