This got patched in version 0.51 by Jiri, so if you are on an older version it will not work.

Did you run the zim test suite under cygwin ? If the path handling is NOK it should trigger errors in the test cases as well.

[Zim-wiki] Sharing images between notes?
Hello! I was wondering, if there is a convenient way to share images (or other files) between different notes, that doesn't get broken, when moving notes within the notebook or even the notebook to a different location / device. I know, there is the Document root feature, but as far as I understand, its path is not relative to the notebook but global. I'd use it for two purposes: 1. Refracturing notes (cut/paste wiki-markup between notes that includes images/equations). 2. Preventing data from being accidentially deleted along with the note. The closest solution I know right now would be to set the root folder of the Notebook as document root, but it seems, that would have to be adjusted, if the notebook is moved around. king regards, Yu ___ 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

I have several zim wikis with their own Document root. Can be set in File-Properties. Correct. And it is intended specific for this purpose. Idea is that even when the document root is moved, you can update all links at once just by changing the path in the properties dialog. Typically it is an absolute path, not related to the notebook (e.g. ~/Documents). But as a special case, if you put the document root below the notebook folder, the path will be stored relative to the notebook. -- Jaap ___ 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
