Today I released zim version 0.74.0. ...

This is awesome!  Zim is great, I spend most of my day in ROXTerm and Zim, with 
some Firefox thrown in, and I got the update from the PPA today.

* I don't like the bottom edit bar either, but I know that will become optional 
in 0.74.1 (#1594), and it's not a show stopper anyway.
* It otherwise looks subtly...nicer, not sure why.  Definitely noticed the new 
checkbox icons.
* It's MUCH faster to navigate in-page using headers; before there was a lag of 
up to a second or two [because 1] which was really annoying, now it's instant.  
This is a BIG DEAL for me, I use this constantly!
* It's still quite slow to switch pages, but that's because [1] and spell 
checking; if I turn spell check off (tedious) page switches are almost instant 
(see #1497).
* Searching is the same, very laggy, up to a few seconds.  But [1]...


[1] At work I'm forced to use Windows (with only 2 slow CPUs, but 16G RAM) so 
Zim lives in a 8G RAM Mint-20.2 VM under VirtualBox.  For some reason, 
especially since the move to Python3, Zim is significantly sluggish there.  On 
my other PCs, even old ones, Zim is fine; basically no discernible lag.  So 
most/all of this problem is on my side even if it's not under my control.  BUT, 
as I noted most of the lag seems to be caused by the spell checking, if I turn 
that off Zim is almost instant [hence #1497].  Note, I do tend to have pages in 
the 2,000-4,000 line range.  And lack of spell checking is a show stopper for 
me.  :-)

Thanks for an awesome tool!

Hi Zim community,

i've done some work on the Attachment-Browser Plugin (see 
https://github.com/datenwurm/zim-plugin-attachment-browser). It now has new 
context menu entries for renaming and deleting files.

Currently it's just a stand-alone plugin which needs to be installed like any 
other plugin. However, it would be nice to integrate it into the main branch.


Does that do anything for 
https://github.com/zim-desktop-wiki/zim-desktop-wiki/issues/930?

[Zim-wiki] Zim 0.72.0 is awesome!

[JP Vossen]

Zim 0.72.0 is awesome!

* The pathbar fits much better and looks great
* The ToC seems to have stopped jumping around (that was nearly a 
show-stopper for me, I need that a lot and it was really annoying to 
have it jumping)

* "Duplicate" headers now work right in the ToC (another big one for me)

I did just see the garbled text problem (#727) but I've never been able 
to reproduce it on command.  I see that on a paste or a large scroll, 
and just now it was a page switch.  2x PgUp then 2x PgDn "fix" the 
garbled text, so it's bearable.


It still loses it's place when switching pages (#770) but only 
sometimes.  I'll to see if I can figure that out.  That will be less of 
a problem since the ToC stopped jumping around.


Thanks!

I just realized.  In all likelihood libgtkspell0 was already installed 
on my laptop.  Just because I copied and pasted the apt command doesn't 
mean it would have installed it, duh. I didn't pay enough attention to 
the terminal because I was cooking supper, so it could have already been 
"at the latest version" for all I know.


Still curious as to the relationship between libgtkspell0 and 
python-gtkspellcheck, but it's not a Zim question, so I'll let it drop.


Thanks for all the time,


Sure.  My wild guess for all the preceding package mess and dependency 
is: major version upgrades.  Don't get me wrong, I *love* that Debian 
and derivatives allow and support major version upgrades, but there is a 
cost.  Over time, package cruft and odd dependencies do seem to pile up 
and GUIs and GUI tools & libraries seem to make this far worse.  Oh 
well, that's still much better than "DLL hell" or having to do clean 
installs every major version.

First time and only instance of Zim on that laptop, only

I think that's the problem, more below.

sudo apt-get remove --purge python-gtkspell


I aborted.  I get:

The following packages will be REMOVED:

I'm assuming, maybe incorrectly, the wild card will also remove 
python-gtkspellcheck


If I recall correctly the "*" means that it will purge config files, 
which probably doesn't matter in this case, but better to be clean.  Or 
try it without the "--purge" and see what it says.


I'd say give it a try, I've seen Zim do a bunch of weird things when old 
cruft is laying about.  I've caused a bit of that myself, which is how I 
know...  I *know* "python-gtkspell" is both not in the Mint-18 repos and 
not needed.  I *suspect* that it (or similar leftovers) may be causing 
confusion.


If that doesn't fix it, it might be other cruft that was not removed in 
the 17 to 18 update.


I might try something like:

sudo apt-get remove zim python-gtkspell python-gtkspellcheck aspell 
ispell python-enchant enchant



What to see if it removes anything else for dependencies, and then add 
those to the list below if you want them.  Then:


sudo apt-get install zim python-gtkspellcheck aspell python-enchant



Mine works, too, except the interface being in Spanish, and it wants to 
default to English instead of English (American).  I have to scroll down 
and click English (American) every time even though I have it set to 
"en-US" in the plug-in.


If you don't care about the other languages, what about trying:

sudo apt-get remove hunspell-en-gb hunspell-en-za myspell-en-au 
myspell-en-gb myspell-en-za

As far as I can tell "[Bug 1513766] Re: ZIM 0.65 Ctrl+Home didn`t work"

04.11.2016 17:24 időpontban Alberto Valverde ezt írta:


Hi list,

very often when I am enjoying zim wiki in windows 7, I get a warning
saying that the page I am working on has been modified. I think this
happens because my hard disk is encrypted by PGP, or because some
other security software did some changes on it

When this happens, the only option I need (overwrite and ignore
whatever or whoever did unauthorized changes) is not available.
Furthermore, I can't find an option to configure a default behaviour
for this kind of situations.

Since this is very frequent, and I am using a corporate computer which
has a standard platform ... something makes me think that the
algorithm used for detecting changes is detecting false positives. I
mean, maybe the checksum changed, but not the content

Please could you check the checking method and add an option to ignore
changes and overwrite them?

+1 for this idea.

I have not noticed false positives.  My notebook lives on a remote drive 
and I sometimes accidentally do modify the same page from 2 places. 
When that happens I know which one I want to keep, but since I can't 
overwrite I have to do manually delete the on-disk file then re-save 
from the correct instance.


Thanks,
JP

Portable works on Win8.1, though for some reason I need to start it

Re: [Zim-wiki] Pasting from PowerPoint as text?

[JP Vossen]

You can usually do an intermediate step where you paste into a "dumb"
editor that does not support any kind of rich text, then copy from there
and paste into Zim.  Gedit, Notepad, and Text Editor are all good for
that.  I use that trick all the time to clear all kinds of cruft out of
stuff when I just want the plain text.  You lose all formatting, but for
me, 95% of the time that's the point anyway.

OK, I lied slightly.  I used to use the editor trick above, but now I
mostly have a command line: 'read the clipboard | do stuff | write the
clipboard' trick.  I do something like the following to do both the
above and trim leading/trailing white space.  Note this is untested
as-written because it's adapted and simplified from some crufty scripts
and aliases:

Thank you, I've added myself.  What I find interesting is that I looked
for bugs on 2015-11-12 before I asked here and I found zero open bugs
for Zim.  Yet 1513766 was reported before that on 2015-11-05.  So I must
have looked...poorly.

Awesome!  Thank you for the ability to use the short name and to change
the order of bookmarks!  I've been using this for the last week and it
has made a nice "quality of life" difference.  It's not huge, but
sometimes it's those little things that matter, and to me this is one of
them.

Works for me, though "copy" is a bit misleading.  I "copy" then "paste"
but it really does a "move" but copy implies that I'd end up with 2.
I'd vote to change "copy" to "cut" since that's really what it does,
though I can understand why you might not want to use that word.  I
can't think of a better word though, and this is the classic case of
cut/paste.

As it works now is *perfect* for me.  If I really want to change the
limit it's easy to find in the code.  I have 7 now, and could see a few
more (since they are now smaller).  15 works for me.

Part of my "hack" for getting the "recent" bar to behave like the
bookmark bar was a page of links.  But then I had to go click them all
to "load" the recent bar, and after that I was afraid of going to so
other page since that would mess me up.  Bookmarks solve all of that!

Thanks,
JP

Just thought of another one, people will need to be able to re-order
bookmarks.  Drag would be awesome, but even a note in the docs
about editing '~/.cache/zim//state.conf' would be useful.

Re: [Zim-wiki] New Plugin: BookmarksBar

[JP Vossen]

That did it, thank you for the help and the plugin!

I have a few notes.

* As expected, 0.60 did not work, I had to use the PPA 0.63 on Linux
Mint 17.

* My work machine does not display the Toolbar, so I installed the
plugin, restarted, checked "Edit > Prefs > Plugins > BookmarksBar"
and...nothing happened.  I had to turn on my toolbar so I could then
turn on the bookmarks bar.  That's already pretty clear in the docs, I
mention it only because it took me a moment to figure out why it "didn't
work" after I enabled it.

* This is awesome!  It is something I've been faking by using "View >
Pathbar > Recent pages" but obviously that is dynamic.  What I really
wanted was...this!  I've been meaning to get around to asking for it...

* +1 for an *option* to display only the page name without the full path
(like "View > Pathbar > Recent pages" does).

Jaap, PLEASE consider making this an official (perhaps core?) plugin!
At the very least, Pl, please consider moving it in to
https://github.com/jaap-karssenberg/zim-wiki/wiki so more folks can find it.

Meanwhile, for the record, here is what I did to get the Bookmark plugin
to work on Linux Mint 17:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jaap.karssenberg/zim
$ sudo aptitude update
$ sudo aptitude install zim
$ wget
'https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/1489944/+attachment/4457755/+files/bookmarksbar.py'
$ wget
'https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/1489944/+attachment/4456183/+files/add-bookmark.png'
$ wget
'https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/1489944/+attachment/4457758/+files/BookmarksBar.txt'
$ [ -d /usr/share/zim/plugins ] || sudo mkdir /usr/share/zim/plugins
$ sudo mv -v bookmarksbar.py  /usr/share/zim/plugins
$ sudo mv -v add-bookmark.png /usr/share/zim/pixmaps
$ sudo mv -v BookmarksBar.txt /usr/share/zim/manual/Plugins/

Thanks again to Pl, and as always to Jaap.

I see nothing using in `zim -V` or `zim -D` output.  I do not see the

I did notice that the "bookmarksbar.py" file I downloaded had CRLF

LF only, but no change.

Clues?

 Very simple. Claws mail is a plain text only client. If you want to compose 
 in html (i.e., using bold, italics, underline, etc.) then you'll need 
 another e-mail client (Evolution, Thunderbird, Outlook, and so on.)

 There's a growing trend to get back to old school...which is the new 
 school, and rightly so. Plain text is simpler to read and produces smaller 
 e-mails. If I need to emphasize a word or phrase, then I'll just bracket it 
 in asterisks, *like so*.

 With the advent and popularity of markdown, I wouldn't be surprised to see 
 the adaptation of markdown interpreters to show some formatting, while 
 retaining simple plain text. Even without that functionality, you'll find 
 the markdown format guidelines can actually help you produce better text 
 email.

 Have a look:
 http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax
 
 LOL!!!  Disregard Udo.  I thought I was on the Claws-Mail list.  I'm such a 
 dork!  Hahopefully I didn't confuse you there.

What's really funny is that the answer is still more-or-less the same,
at least in sprite.  :-)

Yes it scales position with the window, even in fullscreen.


Will the old clunky one still be an option?  I mean the 0.60 left side

Yes.  But the behavior seems to be to always jump to the line *below*

headline.


I'm running 0.59 from source on WinXP (don't ask).  I have a page with 2

A and B.


1) If the current cursor is above A, and I click on *either* ToC entry I

I noticed this recently, but don't really care since I have other unique

Yup, that worked.  And now that you mention it, I vaguely remember that.

So either of these work in a shortcut:

C:\Python26\pythonw.exe c:\Program Files\zim\zim.pyw --standalone

(Anyone who gets here via search engine, note my previous message 
detailing where zim.pyw came from.)




If with -D it indeed works, it might be due to the way we handle
STDIN and STDOUT, without -D these are closed when the process forks
to start a background process.


Beats me.  What do --standalone and -D have in common?


Semi-related, 0.56 used to add an extra CR (and/or LF?) when copying 
text to the Windows clipboard, and that drove me nuts.  0.58 doesn't 
seem to do that anymore, so...thanks.

Hit send too fast.

Also, my command shell is an old 4NT (6.01.242U) from JP Software (no 
relation :), not cmd.exe.  But that should not affect shortcut 
operation, which is where my problem was.

[Zim-wiki] c:\Program Files\zim-0.58\zim.pyw fails for 0.58

[JP Vossen]

zim-0.56 was running fine using: c:\Program Files\zim-0.56\zim.pyw
I didn't upgrade to zim-0.57 because of the reported Windows issues.
Trying to run zim-0.58 fails as follows:

FAILS from CLI and shortcut:
c:\Program Files\zim-0.58\zim.pyw  # - WORKS for 0.56
C:\Python26\pythonw.exe c:\Program Files\zim-0.58\zim.pyw
Works from CLI and shortcut:
c:\Program Files\zim-0.58\zim.pyw -D   # Huh?
C:\Python26\pythonw.exe c:\Program Files\zim-0.58\zim.pyw -D
# But no debug output on console, not surprisingly
C:\Python26\python.exe c:\Program Files\zim-0.58\zim.pyw
# Shortcut opens DOS box that can then be closed, CLI doesn't
# Either way get INFO: Locale set to: en_US.cp1252
C:\Python26\python.exe c:\Program Files\zim-0.58\zim.pyw -D
# Shortcut opens DOS box that can then be closed, CLI doesn't
# Either way get INFO: Locale set to: en_US.cp1252  debug 
info

So why does the ...zim.pyw command that previously worked fail, but 
the same command with -D works?  Ditto the prefixed 
'C:\Python26\pythonw.exe c:\Program Files\zim-0.58\zim.pyw' commands?


My work-around for now is to set my shortcut as follows and just close 
the extra console:

Target:   C:\Python26\python.exe c:\Program Files\zim-0.58\zim.pyw
Start in: C:\Program Files\zim-0.58\

My upgrade process was:

Notes:
* NOT using Cygwin, the Unix tools are the native .exe UNXUtils [1]...
* Using tarball to make Spell checking work (see previous mailing list 
posts)


1) cd C:\Program Files\
2) wget http://zim-wiki.org/downloads/zim-0.58.tar.gz
3) gunzip zim-0.58.tar.gz
4) tar xf zim-0.58.tar
5) copy zim-0.58\zim.py zim-0.58\zim.pyw   # Note 0.58 -- 0.58
6) meld zim-0.56\zim.pyw zim-0.58\zim.pyw  # Note 0.56 -- 0.58
# Added 1 line import enchant for spelling [2]
7) Update Shortcut 0.56 -- 0.58 = fails, see above

OT - are there any instructions on getting spellcheck to work on Windows?
I've got Python-driven apps set up, but everything's portable so most
likely will need batch files to set EnVars, modify the PATH etc. . .



If I'm not mistaken there was a discussion on this list last month.


I said something about it here 
https://lists.launchpad.net/zim-wiki/msg01934.html, but basically I

[Zim-wiki] Some quick questions

[JP Vossen]

I recently switched to Zim from really old NoteCase, and I love it, but 
I have a few quick questions.


First, like someone else on the list I'm running a 0.56 instance on 
Windows from the tarball using zim.pyw.  That's so I can get the spell 
checker to work, which it now does, but startup is slow and RAM use 
seems to be way up over the zim.exe method.  Is there a better way? 
In-line spell checking is a killer feature for me, as unfortunately, is 
Windows for $WORK (Ubuntu otherwise).  (And I didn't upgrade to 0.57 due 
to reported PythonW problems.)


Second, are there key-bindings for list types (on Windows)?  I'm aware 
of * and  when text is selected, but unlike the CTRL-1, CTRL-B, 
etc. bindings, those won't change from say checkbox to bullet, which I 
do a lot.


Third, I love the checkboxes, but it would be nice if there were more 
options.  Specifically, I'd really like something for in progress. 
And maybe some others, in decreasing order of importance?


[~] in progress

These might be handy, but it also might get really tedious clicking

JP
