I don’t think there is any specific way other than killing the process if it does not react. Shouldn’t be an issue for Zim I think. Maybe Jaap can respond?

Hi Murat, Ok! Thanks, that worked. I noticed that I had to manually kill all the Zim tasks (there were 4 of them) from the task manager in order for my gtkrc to be read during reloading. What is the recommended way of cleanly restarting Zim completely? thanks, warm regards, Saraf On Mon, May 18, 2015 at 5:36 PM, Güven, Ugur Murat < murat.gue...@ts.fujitsu.com> wrote: > Hi, > > > > >Okay, I tried the portable version, and it starts up okay, but it does > not read in my gtkrc settings from - > C:\work\ZimDesktopWikiPortable\App\ZimDesktopWiki\etc\gtk-2.0\gtkrc > > >Here are the contents of my gtkrc - this used to give me walnut colored > text on a cream background > > Seems to work.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Upgrade to 0.62 on Windows - cannot start
Hi Murat!
Thanks for your quick reply!
Okay, I tried the portable version, and it starts up okay, but it does not
read in my gtkrc settings from -
C:\work\ZimDesktopWikiPortable\App\ZimDesktopWiki\etc\gtk-2.0\gtkrc
Here are the contents of my gtkrc - this used to give me walnut colored
text on a cream background
gtk-theme-name = "MS-Windows"
style "mycolors"
{
base[NORMAL] = "#fffadf"
text[NORMAL] = "#3d270c"
base[SELECTED] = "#6699cc" # npp deep black
}
widget "*.zim-pageview" style "mycolors"
widget "*.zim-pageindex" style "mycolors"
class "GtkWidget" style "mycolors
thanks,
warm regards,
Saraf

[Zim-wiki] Upgrade to 0.62 on Windows - cannot start
Greetings list, Upgraded to 0.62 on Windows 8.1 Zim does not start up - I get a pop up saying Looks like you found a bug - with the following information. This is zim 0.62 Platform: nt Locale: en_US cp932 FS encoding: mbcs Python: (2, 7, 8, 'final', 0) Gtk: (2, 24, 10) Pygtk: (2, 24, 0) Zim revision is: branch: 062 revision: 739 jaap.karssenb...@gmail.com-20141010192806-wv4x4g58zm67ipfs date: 2014-10-10 21:28:06 +0200 === Traceback === File "zim\main.pyo", line 446, in main File "zim\main.pyo", line 211, in run File "zim\ipc.pyo", line 283, in start_server_if_not_running AssertionError: Failed to start server (spawning) I found around 4~5 references to this issue with google, all ending with a request to post the contents of the zim.log file and the zim-daemon.log file. In my case, there is no zim-daemon.log file in %TMP% but there is a zim.log file that contains - ERROR: Exception in main() Traceback (most recent call last): File "zim\main.pyo", line 446, in main File "zim\main.pyo", line 211, in run File "zim\ipc.pyo", line 283, in start_server_if_not_running AssertionError: Failed to start server (spawning) Workaround: Since it says Failed to start server, I tried changing the properties of zim.exe to "Run as Administrator" and then this problem went away. (But then it does not read in my preferences from the User directory - so I want to be able to run zim as my own user and not as Administrator) What could be the fix? thanks, warm regards, Saraf ___ 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
