[Zim-wiki] Zim 0.62 for Windows released again
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 tarball, unless necessary for these two fixes (rev 739 and what I'm about to describe). When I ran setup.py it said Missed line for plugin list because it wasn't finding \t\tplugins = set() because that line of code had already been modified by a previous run of setup.py. I suggest patching it to look for \t\tplugins = set( instead.

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?

Re: [Zim-wiki] Zim 0.62 for Windows released again
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 On Tue, Oct 14, 2014 at 10:42 AM, Güven, Ugur Murat murat.gue...@ts.fujitsu.com wrote: 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.

Yes it is reasonable for the user to mess around with the user data folder, but we should be able to use the system data folder for files included in the installer. This is the same data folder is used by the installer for the manual, templates images. So I think there is no harm in using it for plugins as well. Problem is that for the executable the default plugins are compiled into the executable, so we can no longer scan the files to get an index of them. Previously the work around has been to ship a copy of the plugins outside of the executable. This work around now broke. Two ways to fix that: 1. Fix the work around by putting the files in the right folder 2. Fix the issue by somehow making sure we can list the plugin files even when compiled into an executable Fix in #1 is real easy, just move the files you install now to zim/plugins to data/zim/plugins. Most simple version of #2 would be to patch the PluginManager.list_installed_plugins() function with a hard coded list when compiling to executable. Would that work for you?

It is incorrect to require user data folders under ~ be created during installation. The main executable or the main executable's launcher must create the folder. In the Windows build, the Portable Install has a launcher but not the Desktop Install. Therefore, we need to change the main executable to either tolerate the missing folder, or to create it before it reads it. Otherwise I will have to make a tiny launcher script for the Desktop Install using NSIS, which creates any required resources for $USER and then passes control to the main executable.
