[Zim-wiki] [Bug 569091] Re: [win] cannot open another notebook

2010-11-30 Thread Brendan Kidwell
Problem seems to have been solved! Not sure exactly what solved it --
maybe I fixed a build script earlier, or maybe it's because some of the
libraries I used to build today are only weeks old releases.

I verify that gspawn-win32-helper.exe ends up in my build folder, and
when I install and run the final package, I am able to open two
notebooks using File - Open.

Status in Zim desktop wiki: Fix Released

Bug description:
When trying to open another Notebook and selecting one from the list or 
creating a new one, pressing OK only closes the selection dialog, but Zim does 
not open the notebook; it stays on the old notebook.

In the log, an error shows up:

Re: [Zim-wiki] softnote2005 to zim

2010-11-30 Thread Brendan Kidwell
(Sending again... I'm ALWAYS forgetting to reply-to-all and include the
mailing list address!)

I think you mean to say that when you paste from the clipboard, the rich
text formatting from SoftNote2005 is lost. This is normal behavior.
Unfortunately at this time, Zim doesn't have any capability to read rich
text from the clipboard and convert it to Zim format.

Your best bet is to go over the page and look for errors after pasting it.
If you have the skills, you could try your hand at writing a filter to
convert SoftNote2005's data file format to Zim's.

 The only way i found is to copy paste each note from softnote2005 to zim.
 My problem is that some characters are bold or underligned. Is there a way
 to
 keep bold and underligned during copy / paste ?

Re: [Zim-wiki] how to get the gnome-do Zim plugin to work

2010-11-30 Thread Brendan Kidwell
The video doesn't give a canonical source for the Gnome DO plugin, but this
page seems to be it:
http://www.devilx.net/project/gnome-do-plugins/

The source code archive you find there dates back to 2008, which is before
the Jaap rewrote Zim as a Python app instead of Perl. The plugin needs to be
updated for the 0.4x series of Zim. Any takers? Gnome DO looks like it's
based on Mono and C#. (I'm not interested, sorry.)

At a glance, I see that the plugin is reading Zim's config file, and it may
be having trouble parsing it because I think the format has changed a little
since Zim 0.2x.

 Looks like a really useful way to use Zim with Gnome DO, but the Zim
 plugin doesn't seem to work.  Has anyone here been able to get it
 working?

Re: [Zim-wiki] Tasklist to show automatically on system start

2010-11-30 Thread Brendan Kidwell
Peter, sorry no one got back to you in November. Jaap (lead developer) was
away most of the month and no one else (including myself) took an interest
in your question; we'll try to do better in the future.

What you want to do is launch Zim if it's not already running and then send
the show_task_list message to the tasklist plugin. I don't see any
obvious way to do that; I couldn't do it with the --plugin command line
option.

Jaap, is there any way to send commands to Zim via Dbus or something like
that?

There's a similar app called *kupfer* that is python+gtk, already with a
zim plugin, but I don't remember if it worked or not. I've used both
gnome-do and kupfer, and both are too slow to be useful in my netbook. I
now use a keyboard binding to give focus to the terminal and fish once I
get there.

Thanks a lot! Will be installing it this afternoon. And it is always a

instead of up :)

 Jaap, I'll be submitting a merge request shortly.

I flagged it, will merge it as soon as I start working on the code again.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Is pagelist support a part of future plan?

On Tue, Nov 30, 2010 at 12:30 AM, Joon Ro joonp...@gmail.com wrote:
 Exactly. So for example in ConnectedText, I can put categories to pages with
 [[$CATEGORY: Project]]. Then, in another page, I can dynamically generate
 the list of pages with category Project with the following:
 [[$ASK:[$Category Project]|Index]].

 I think most php wiki programs such as Mediawiki, Dokuwiki, and pmwiki have
 this functionality. One example is dokuwiki's pagelist
 plugin: http://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:pagelist

 With this, I don't have to constantly update the project list in the example
 project list.

The tag functionality Fabian is working on should get you most of what
you are looking for. The difference is that the pages will still be
shown in the side pane as an index sorted by tags, not in a special
page. Having special pages is the way most online wikis do things, but
in a GUI program like zim having a separate widget in the interface is
a nicer solution.

However if you really want the list in a page as content we can think
of a plugin doing that once the tag functionality is available.

We can make it work using the --plugin option, just need to add a
main routine to the plugin module. Currently no DBus support
although I keep meaning to do that at some point. Notel you need to
define entry points for DBus callable methods, so still need to define
a special function for this - same as for making --plugin working.

Could you open a bug report with this request? I will make it show the
task list on zim --plugin tasklist so you can add that to the
startup applications for your desktop and it will show every time you
log in.

Well, I use it to copy snippets from online documentation to my zim
notebook. Especially because it also pastes the source URL it is
easier than copy pasting using the clipboard. And by copying a key
paragraph documentation becomes searchable in my notebook.

[Zim-wiki] question about attachments folder(?)

2010-11-30 Thread Ramiro Magno
Hi

I'd like to know how to define a folder that works as the repository
for all my externally linked files which would be linked relatively to
the notebook root directory. Then I'd like also to export to HTML the
whole wiki and then copy the repository folder while keeping the
file tree hierarchy such that those links to the external files still
work in the HTML pages. I know this might have something to do with
the Attachments Folder functionality but I don't really understand it,
so I'm sorry if it already does what I'm discussing here. So, could
someone clarify how to this? I bet this is an already implemented
feature.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Zim-wiki] question about attachments folder(?)

2010-11-30 Thread Jaap Karssenberg
Hi,

The feature you may be looking for is the document root. It does not
replace the attachment folder, but it gives you an alternative way to
organize and link documents. You configure the document root folder in
the notebook properties (menu File-Properties). Once set you can link
to this folder starting a link with / (and dag drop links from this
folder should be made relative in this way).

Regards,

Jaap

 This would be very usefull for me too, in an other usecase, wich I describe

 Indeed I use dropbox to sync my notes, this give me little space for my data
 (only 2GB for a non-premium account).
 In order to avoid using too much space, I let the files I refer to in a
 seperate folder, then I add a link to them instead of attaching them (which
 avoid the copy of the file in the file tree ). So I keep a attached file
 folder where I copy all my interesting file with my notes linking to this
 folder. This way I use little space in my dropbox account while keeping my
 file tree consistent if I copy note  files on an other file system.

 It would be great if I didn't have to think about to copy first and then
 link. An option could make the use of an attach folder transparent.  The
 path for the attach folder should be relative (or user defined) in order
 not to break link consistency.
