Re: [Zim-wiki] How to tell Zim to look in ~/.zim for notebooks, not pages

I need these to be Notebooks, not folders in one large notebook. You can edit that in the notebook list dialog (zim --list) or directly by changing ~/.config/zim/notebooks.list . Currently there is no notebook directory that automatically sees all sub-diectories as notebooks. Would be a nice feature though and I believe there is a bug report requesting that.

Re: [Zim-wiki] How to tell Zim to look in ~/.zim for notebooks, not pages
How about using a different directory for each notebook? ~/work/zim + Home/Documents + Home/Notes + Work/Documents + Work/Notes + Studies/Documents + Studies/Notes From my experience with zim, you can have your documents and notes in whatever directory you want, you have the opportunity to specify this when you create a new notebook. I have moved some of my notebooks after they were created with plain command line mkdir and mv, and after editing the locations in the File-Properties zim found my data again. -- Svenn 2009/4/22 Dotan Cohen dotanco...@gmail.com: On a new install of Kubuntu, I have installed Zim 0.28 from the .deb package on the Zim website.

Re: [Zim-wiki] How to tell Zim to look in ~/.zim for notebooks, not pages
This is the freedesktop.org sanctioned place to put config files (a.k.a. XDG_CONFIG_HOME). You will see increasingly more applications from both the Gnome / XFCE and the KDE school of thought put their config there insteadd of directly clobbering the home dir. Thanks, I did not know that was a freedesktop convention. I still prefer ~/.app-name as I like to finetune my backups, but it really is not a big deal. I will now know to look in there for when I need to find other apps' config files.
