Hi all,
I am using Zim on Windows 7. I am trying to add my Zim notebooks to the
urls.list file using the "zim+file://" method described here:
http://zim-wiki.org/manual/Help/Config_Files.html
I use ctrl+L to add a link to a notebook as name_of_notebook?, which
creates a link, but when I click o
Hi Jason,
The location of the XDG folders in Windows is a little bit weird... you
should put your urls.list in the folder
%APPDATA%/zim/data/zim
i.e., there should be an extra "zim" folder inside "data". Weird, yes. But
it works :)
Regards,

Hi Mariano,
I greatly appreciate your quick reply, however I am sad to report that my
links still do not work. Any other suggestions I might try? Thanks!

Hi,
Maybe there's a problem with the URL you are writing in the urls.list file
and/or the way you are using the interwiki link?
Let's see a concrete example:
- my username in Windows is "mariano", so the %APPDATA% folder resolves to:
C:\Users\mariano\AppData\Roaming
- in there I have a urls.lis
Hi Mariano,
Thank you again for your quick reply! I really appreciate your detailed
example.
My urls.list is at the same location as yours (different username of
course) following your advice in your first response.
I used a program to generate my urls.list file (my boss wrote it) that
takes a
Hi Jason,
I suppose the space might be a problem in the first example. The space
encoded as "%20" in the URL part might be supported (I really don't know
for sure), but I'm sure that you cannot define an interwiki prefix with
spaces in between. At least not in Zim. Zim expects the format of the
ur
Stupid question, but are all your interwiki links to other zim notebooks?
If so, you shoudl not need to configure the urls.list file at all. Check
the "open another notebook" dialog in zim, all notebooks listed there
should already be recognized as interwiki links.
In the properties dialog you ca
Hi Jaap,
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, my entire 'urls.list' file is links to other notebooks, so it seems
the right way to do this then is to not worry about creating my own
urls.list for notebooks.
However, the link is still not working and Mariano's comment about the
spaces in a lot of my no
Hi Jason,
I just had a look at the parsing of the url.list format. The parser splits
the line at the first space, all subsequent text is taken as the url.
So the name or "key" that you use in the interwiki link should not contain
any spaces. Typically these are abreviations, so you want to keep t
Hi Murat,
I would start with an "install" button in the dialog that allows selecting
a .zip or .tar.gz file for the plugin. Full automated update is more
difficult and requires server setup etc.
Also most operating systems have a package management system already,
overruling that is generally a b
Hi Jaap,
Thanks again for your followup.
This is what I tried next:
(1) remove urls.list file that I created
(2) replaced all spaces by underscores in notebook names in the file
notebooks.list in C:\Users\Jason\.config\zim\ directory
(3) tried my link Electronics? - nothing happened, so I ran it
Quick note: I also run Linux in VirtualBox, so I put Zim on there and tried
linking, and it worked. I just created two notebooks (notes and test), in
notes I placed a link "test?" and clicking on that worked perfectly - a new
window opened with the test notebook.
I do use Windows much more though
Starting from Zim 0.62 the version control plugin can't automatically
save changes using git at least under windows (didn't try linux).
The offending change seems to be that instead of "git add ." now "git
add " (where is the value of self.notebook_dir) is executed,
but git refuses to do so.
