I did a new build of Zim for Windows and posted it here:
[1]http://www.glump.net/software/zim-windows
This fixes the crash of the Preferences dialog box.
I worked from rev. 739 today. I don't want to mix up releases
with different code going into the Windows build and the
official source
Hi Brendan,
I was going to try out this version, but I struggle to find the plugins folder
in which I can copy my additional plugins into.
Could you point me to the right directory, please?
Thanks,

Murat,
Custom plugins now go into %APPDATA%\zim\data\zim\plugins\
On my system this would be C:\Users\username\AppData\zim\data\zim\plugins
You can use the XDG_DATA_HOME parameter to change this folder, plugins will
be looked for in %XDG_DATA_HOME%/zim/plugins.
Hope this helps,
Jaap

Hi Brendan,
I made some changes in revisions 739 that should fix this. Made it such
that setup.py takes care of it when you run setup.py build. Assume this
is also triggered by py2exe, but haven't tested that.
If you find time to test and build a new compiler you can use revision 741.
Thanks,
Brendan,
One step back; of course the default shipped plugins are in the python
library path. They are installed as part of the program, and the user will
not easily remove them. The XDG_DATA folders are used for extra user
installed plugins that do not ship with the default install.
XDG_DATA
It's going to take me some time to wrap my head around all
those names and strings and figure out where these paths are
supposed to be, and whether #2 is possible. I've got no more
time to think about this until at least the weekend, if not
next week.
All my code is up-to-date in the main
I believe this is due to the search path for plugins has changed. IIRC the
windows build has to supply the .py files of the plugins in order to make
zim find them. These should now be in XDG_DATA/zim/plugins rather than the
python path.
Let me know if this is a problem for packaging, could add a
IMO this is a failure in the executable, not in the packaging.
What if the user deletes $XDG_data/zim? This is a perfectly
reasonable thing for a user to do if they want a reset. What
happens right now if I do that on a Unix platform?
It is incorrect to require user data folders under ~ be

I've updated the release page to reflect the fact that it doesn't work.
It doesn't work for me on my build VM either; I didn't test everything
before I published it.
Jaap: have requirements changed?
It will be a few days before I can look into this.
