Re: [Zim-wiki] Migration from OneNote to Zim

I've found tools to allow this one at a time from within the browser, but a general purpose solution make use of OS-level copy-and-paste standards, perhaps parsing the clipboard? would be ideal. Actually you are right, unpacking the stand alone HTML is easy (I have some code alread), the harder part is to hack an HTML import function for zim. If we have such a function, importing HTML from the clipboard instead of a file will be trivial to make.

I am not a scripter so I am of no help there. I got some code to unpack the stand alone HTML, that part is easy. Next step will be converting the HTML to text while preserving at least images and bullet lists. Some other markup can be preserved, but most may get lost. Tables will end up as lines of text. One limitation I see at the moment for the OneNote importer is that when I export a section from OneNote I get multiple pages in a single HTML file. Unfortunately the start of a new page is not clearly marked in the HTML, so splitting up in multiple pages will not be very robust.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Encrypted Zim wiki
Here is a bash script that automates the process of encrypting Zim with truecrypt, and it almost feels like a plugin with no hassles: http://dotpad.blogspot.in/2012/12/zim-with-truecrypt-and-dropbox-my-final.html One could write a similar script for windows... ___ 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] Encrypted Zim wiki
I use encfs myself. I'm against putting crypto functions into Zim -- it's out of scope and dangerous. As a developer, every time you take on functions like that, and handle keys (user types in passphrase, for example) you open yourself to the possibility of screwing up and putting users' data at risk. As much as possible we should leave the implementation to security-obsessed experts. For the quickest solution, I think TrueCrypt is the easiest to setup and works the same on all supported platforms. It only introduces one extra step in daily use before you open a notebook.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Encrypted Zim wiki
Thanks everyone for your useful advice. In the end, I opted for EncFS. Being on Ubuntu+Gnome-Shell this was fairly straightforward to setup. Source : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FolderEncryption After installing EncFS, I also downloaded gnome-encfs which allowed me to store the passphrase in the Gnome keyring and auto-mount the encrypted directory on login. Using Gnome-Shell, Cryptkeeper did not seem to work (the tray icon did not appear anywhere), so I found and installed another Nautilus extension: http://blog.sambull.org/easily-encrypt-folders-2 The extension is a short Python script for creating new encrypted folders and works in tandem with gnome-encfs Once setup, there's really no maintenance (and no need to enter a passphrase once logged in). It wasn't quite what I had in mind, but at least it is convenient. My greatest paranoia is having my laptop stolen and sensitive data extracted that way. Unfortunately, gnome-encfs is not in the Ubuntu 'trusted' repositories... The Python script, however, is short and seems harmless enough. - Per On Thu, Mar 14, 2013 at 5:47 PM, Per pmknut...@gmail.com wrote: Is there a Zim plugin for encrypting a wiki and unlocking with a passphrase?
