Re: [Zim-wiki] Zim-clip 0.5.3 on amo (addons-mozilla.org)
Very cool Rui, congratulations on getting listed on addons.mozilla.org. I Removed the existing plugin (which had already updated to 0.5.3), and then Installed from the now-official page. Everything went smoothly, and it really works with NO RESTART as advertised. Looking forward to having the very latest version reviewed and approved. I've been working on some ideas to implement Folding in Zim, and this plugin should be useful for coordinating related information.

Updates will be easier if you install the addon from their instead of my personal website, but as review process can take some time (several days or weeks), you will have to wait to have latest release (0.5.3 is the latest for now). Addon is quite stable now and works as I expected. There's still a problem on Fedora (and maybe somewhere else ?) as Firefox defines a tmp folder different from the one defined by python (and used by Zim), so 2 zim instances are created if you use the addon when a Zim instance is already opened. No workaround found for the moment. I also have to provide an easy way to download and hack sources (wich are of course available in the addon itself) and to report bugs. Probably a launchpad project as I use bzr. Thanks to jaap to have provide some new Apis in the quicknote plugin to be able to deal with the pictures downloaded by zim-clip for example.

Re: [Zim-wiki] How to copy-paste from Zim without the wiki code?
Even simply copying text within Zim causes inconvenience with formatting. For instance, try copying part of a heading, then pasting that into a line of normal text: Most users would want the pasted text to take on the formatting of the target location, rather than retaining its formatting from the source location. The workaround, under Linux, is to highlight the source text, which copies it into the X11 selection buffer. Then it can be pasted as plain text using the middle mouse button. Unfortunately this workaround would likely apply only to X11-based systems, leaving Windows users with the original issue. Would a Paste As option be practical to add?

[Zim-wiki] Version Control Plugin Re: Zim version 0.59 released
Really glad to have the Version Control plugin enabled now. It's incredibly simple to use, as described in the first part of this Manual page http://zim-wiki.org/manual/Plugins/Version_Control.html. Most folks can safely stop reading there after the Usage section. The rest of that page, from Sharing on down, is secondary. In particular, the Manual Version Control section mainly contains details for control freaks ;- However, the plugin is also rich in features, and provides a GUI for many useful version control tasks. Overall, I consider Version Control to be an essential complement to Zim's autosave feature. On 1/25/13, jayseye grei...@gmail.com wrote: The affected user _was_ fully backing up their work.

[Zim-wiki] GTD Discussion
Would other users be interested in discussing Zim as a tool for GTD (Getting Things Done, by David Allen)? Jaap has detailed his own GTD usage in the Zim Manual http://zim-wiki.org/manual/Usage/Getting_Things_Done.html. As he notes there, users often find their own creative ways to implement GTD. I'd like to explore this in more detail, interactively, and am wondering where the best forum might be? As a test, I created a topic in the online Wiki's Playground page http://zim-wiki.org/wiki/doku.php?id=playground:playground. As background, I'm working to implement folding in Zim, as discussed previously on this mailing list. That project has become more complex than originally assumed, so of course I'm using Zim to organize my notes and plans ;- So this is a chicken-and-egg situation, as I've been using a different tool for many years, where folding has always been available to help change focus as needed.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Anchors for links?
Thanks Dan - Yes it's comprehensible, though implementation of implicit anchors might be complex. The issues mentioned could be just the tip of the iceberg. For instance, what happens when someone changes the text of a heading which is serving as an anchor? Since Zim uses plain text files, any implicit data may need to be stored explicitly. I'd love it If the details turn out to be easier than I imagine. Will check full details in the tracker item, which Jaap linked to, after I make more progress on the folding feature. Regards, Marc On 11/26/12, Dan Lessner dan.less...@centrum.cz wrote: Hi, my idea was exactly that the user would not need to specify the anchor at all, every heading would implicitly behave as one. Let's say that a part behind # aims to an anchor. When resolving a link, Zim would check explicit anchors and then headings (therefore implicit, and maybe unwanted, heading-anchors can be overriden). Perhaps a higher level heading could have the priority, if there are more with the same name. Anyway, if one want to avoid trouble with linkiong to duplicate headings, he can always add an explicit anchor. I would consider duplicate headings as the user's responsibility, Zim would simply use the first one on the highest level. The point is to have the possibility to write e.g. :SomePage#Summary, which would point us to the content under the heading Summary. And we did not have to put an anchor manually anywhere, it would work by magic :-) When needed, we could still insert a true anchor into the page, let's say near an image, and then link :ThatPage#RelatedImage.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Anchors for links?
Yes Brian, I also use headings and the ToC plugin. There would be one main advantage of linking to an anchor on the same page: to avoid duplication of information. A counter-argument might be: if one page gets large enough to require local links, then perhaps it should be broken up into multiple pages. As a new Zim user, one reason I posted here to the mailing list was to get feedback on the pros and cons of anchors as a possible feature. There is another rationale in support of intra-page anchors: there is strong interest in folding, which indicates that relatively large pages may be used to advantage.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Bounty for folding
Thanks for the reply, Jaap. This is all very encouraging. Working on a bzr branch sounds convenient. From now on I'll keep mailing list discussions at a higher level. Hans mentioned the ability to fold plain indented lists, i.e. with neither bullets nor checkmarks. I'm also interested in that, Having read your reply, I'd like to confirm that folding normal, indented text would be straightforward? If so, it sounds like we could potentially use Zim as a folding code editor for small Python source files. Does that sound practical? Meanwhile it's very late here so I will call it a night. Will explore this in detail in the morning, both on the Wiki and in this e-mail thread.

If that would be acceptable, then I have two questions: I set up a page on our development page here: http://www.zim-wiki.org/wiki/doku.php?id=folding I put down the objective and initial notes on implementation. HdV if you can check if you are happy with the definition I put down (and if not please modify accordingly) than I can discuss implementation details with Marc Paul. For implementation discussion let's go to personal mail and document on the development wiki, no need to spam the mailing list. First, lists would be a clear choice for folding, as they can be nested to any depth. Headings were also mentioned in your original query: Ah, indeed. Almost forgot about that. I'd really like to see the addition of a plugin that would enable folding for lists and headings (both would be very welcome). To clarify then, based on your latest reply: Would folding of Headings be an additional feature request, with a separate bounty? I myself don't need folding based on headings at the moment, but yes I would be willing to support a separate bounty for that. I can imagine that other people could use such an additional feature very well. I would also very much like them. I'll put an additional 50,- on the bounty from Zim donations fund if this can be covered. ( Won't add much additional work, but the main thing is that folding headings can not follow indentation, so bit more logic is needed to determine what text to fold. ) Second question, for both you and Jaap: Would it be feasible to set milestones for implementing folding, starting with a working model? This could help ensure that we're on the same page as work progresses. Communicating often and making small steps is what in my experience always led to the best results in projects. Depending on what Jaap prefers I think that would be a good approach. I on my part will strive to make the time to answer any questions without making you wait too long. On the wiki page I put a section timeline with suggestion for milestones, open for discussion. Specifically, Zim already has a built-in secondary view, which might be useful as a testbed: From the File menu, Open in New Window displays a work-in-progress toward multiple views. (It's read-only for now, though fixing that is mentioned in the docs.) That New Window might be a safe place to develop folding, while preserving the current main window. Once folding works as agreed in this testbed view, it would be straightforward to merge it into the right-hand pane of the main window. Sounds like a proper safe approach to do this. Let's see what Jaap thinks (as I don't know the code very well). Probably that would actually complicate things since both windows derive from the same class. Since you would be developing in a separate code branch anyway there is no need to separate. Once it is functional I merge it in the main code and it will be enabled for all windows. @Jaap: are there groudrules for doing bounties? Or do you want me to arrange something with Marc Paul directly? The rules I came up with when I started with bounties are here: http://www.zim-wiki.org/contribute.html In general I think for your part of the bounty you should decide whether you are happy or not.

Have yet to find this listed on the Wiki, as mentioned below. Has there been any progress, and/or is there still interest in this feature? Thanks! Marc Paul Rubin (jayseye) --- From: J.A. de Vries hdv.jadev@x Date: Thu, 24 May 2012 14:10:59 +0200 Hi Jaap, Maybe you could set up a small page on the dev wiki here: http://www.zim-wiki.org/wiki/doku.php . Please specify criteria that the plugin needs fulfill in order to claim the bounty, and how to contact you to claim it etc. Will do that. Might take a couple of days due to work. I can link the wiki page from the main website. To give a first shot on the technical impact: looks like gtksourceview can support marks in the window margin, which could be used to trigger fold/unfold. Also it looks like next release of gtksourceview will have a special API for folding. That would be great. It should make things a whole lot easier to implement and maintain. So either we need to make zim's editor inherit from gtksourceview and build on that API, or emulate the relevant code to enable similar features in zim. I don't know the inner workings of zim too well, but if the first option could provide the functionality I need, then I'd suggest the first alternative. The more generic the code the better in my experience. Main challenge is to get the folding marks (icons) in the marging and keep them uptodate. The hiding of a piece of text is almost trivial. Adding some widget / keybinding to fold/unfold all up to a certain level needs some design but is probably easy to implement as well. Glad to hear that! I'll try to make some time this weekend to write down the specs for what I would like to have. P.S. I am willing to sponsor other bounties as well, if you want me to. Just contact me if I can help.
