[Zim-wiki] Can Text2mindmap insert a figure directly into the zim page?
Dear zim mailing list, Jaap encouraged me to send my question concerning Text2mindmap here: Dear Jaap, dear zim community, I appreciate zim a lot. To try out the custom tools, I downloaded Text2mindmap from https://github.com/jaap-karssenberg/zim-wiki/wiki/Text2mindmap-custom-tool. In the command field of the zim custom tool dialogue, I entered '~/bin/zim_mindmap.py %s', without the apostrophes. The correct figure is produced from a certain page, but not inserted into that page automatically. I can then insert it via the insert image dialogue, but I am relatively sure that the embedding of the figure was meant to be automatic (?). Example: - I write the mindmap code into a page in the path /my/zim/test.txt - then I save, refresh, and call the Text2mindmap custom tool - result: the expected figure is written to /my/zim/test.png, but it is not automatically embedded into the page Thank you in advance for your help.

[Zim-wiki] Installing additional plugin (example new treemap plugin)
Continued from topic 'Can Text2mindmap insert a figure directly into the zim page?' Dear NorfCran / Jaap, thanks a lot! I still have an issue with the installation - sorry for bothering with the installation. What I did: - copy the contents of the plugin to local file treemap.py - copy file to the following directories, just to be sure: 1) /usr/share/pyshared/zim/plugins/ (existed) 2) ~/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/. (had to create from lib on, based on http://www.zim-wiki.org/manual/Plugins.html) 3) ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/. (had to create it) 4) /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages - chmod go+rxw treemap.py in all directories, then rehash - close and open zim - go to Edit Preferences Plugins == couldn't find name 'Insert TreeMap' 'python --version' says Python 2.7.3. Do I have to manually import it into python somehow before zim sees it? On the recommended page http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0370/, only python 2.6 and 3.0 are mentioned.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Can Text2mindmap insert a figure directly into the zim page?
Dear NorfCran, dear zim list,
pragmatic way to change the size of a treemap created with the new plugin:
- Insert TreeMap, enter treemap code, click OK = treemap is inserted into
page
- open Tools Edit Source
- replace {{./treemap.png?type=treemap}} with {{./treemap.png?width=200}}
- = figure is adapted to 200px width, and the normal right click Edit
Properties now works as for other graphics
- to get tree map editing back, reverse the change
- switch back and forth as necessary (just don't delete the *.dot file if
further treemap editing is planned)
Even though it may involve some source editing, the plugin is a huge gain in
comparison to the custom tool, because the figure is created in the local
attachment directory and thus very easily accessible.
Thank you again - I also enjoy the line sorter,
Hella

Re: [Zim-wiki] Installing additional plugin (example new treemap plugin)
Dear Jaap, dear zims, today I got a zim update via Ubuntu/Mint to 0.62, and the new plugin in the directory 'for zim 0.62 and above' worked perfectly. zim -D gave me at least one error about the 'treepath', but nothing related to treemap. The error may be related to the fact that I sometimes have to 'Update Index' as it seems that pages disappear from the index in the left side bar. It doesn't disturb me really - refreshing the index is just 2 clicks. If anyone is interested in looking at/fixing the error, please mail me. Thank you again! Best wishes, Hella On 01/10/14 11:28, Jaap Karssenberg wrote: Hi Hella, For zim 0.61 and older: Any zim/plugins folder that is in the python search path. I believe in your case ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/zim/plugins should work. For zim 0.62 and newer: ~/.local/share/zim/plugins I would also run zim in debug mode (zim -D) and check if there is an error when you open the preferences dialog.

Re: [Zim-wiki] [fixed] looks like you found a bug
Hi all, in my shell, I moved page by page and folder by folder out of the misbehaving zim subtree. It turned out that after I had moved one of those pages and its folder out of the zim folder, the page was still shown in zim (and not virtual / italic), but I could not find it in the actual folder on my computer in the shell. I deleted that strange real-in-zim but not-existing-in-shell page from within zim, moved the actually existing counterpart back into the zim folder by shell, and the index was behaving again. Sorry for disturbing you all - it seems Murphy wanted me to mail to all of just before I found a solution. Maybe it helps someone else in the same situation.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Additional states for checkboxes
Hi all, that sounds similar to a state "in progress" that I would find very convenient. Alternatively, a hint about how / where to define these states and icons would be very much appreciated as well. Thanks and best wishes, Hella On 18/01/16 14:38, Steve Chadsey wrote: Hello, Zim checkbox states can be "open" (not checked), "OK" (checked, green checkmark) or "Not OK" (checked, red X). With my Zim workflow, it would be incredibly convenient to have an additional checkbox state. I would use it to indicate a state of "Not completed". It would be differentiated from "open" in that 1) it would use some new indicator/icon (like a yellow triangle), and 2) the item with this new state would not appear in the Task list. I'd like to request an enhancement to allow for this additional checkbox state. Ideally, the user would be able to configure multiple different checkbox states, and clicking on the checkbox would cycle through all configured states.

[Zim-wiki] mouse copy problems (Linux)
Hey all, I use zim every day on my Linux PC - I like it a lot! I also use mouse copy a lot (marking text somewhere, inserting it by middle mouse button somewhere else). There are two issue with mouse copy: 1) Mouse copy does not work inside zim If I mark text in zim, and then try to insert it somewhere else in zim, nothing happens. 2) Mouse copy contents is lost when clicking on a page in the ToC tab Usually, mouse copy works fine from any application outside of zim to a zim page. However, the mouse copy contents is lost after I click on a page in the table of contents (ToC) tab. (Clicking on a page in the "Index" tab, any page in the last pages list, or navigating backward/forward leaves the mouse copy contents intact.) Any ideas if these 2 points can be improved or fixed?

Re: [Zim-wiki] X11 primary selection availability
Update: I have the same problem on LaTeXila (https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/LaTeXila). Mouse copy from outside of LaTeXila into a LaTeXila page works, but marking something inside a page and trying to directly insert it elsewhere on the same page doesn't. Insert also doesn't work anymore after pressing a button, e.g., to bolden a word. So it seems the same behavior as for zim. Don't know anything about the implementation of zim or LaTeXila so I can't make conclusions what causes this behavior. The code for LaTeXila is here, https://git.gnome.org/browse/latexila, and they also have a copy on github, https://github.com/GNOME/latexila. Maybe someone else sees the parallels between zim and LaTeXila. Best, Hella On 02/12/16 05:44, Karthik Tayur wrote: I've observed this happening only in case I format text on a page.
