Re: [Zim-wiki] New web site for Windows installer; found new energy to work on Windows installer
Hi Brendan, This had been bugging me for years! Internet Explorer clears that folder when set to delete browser history on exit (which happens to be my preference), causing Zim loose some of its settings stored in the state.conf stored at that location. I am very glad you will be looking into this. Thank you, -Z. Tuesday, May 16, 2017, 2:05:44 AM, Brendan Kidwell wrote: BK> I noticed it using that path for indices, too, in Windows 7.

I noticed it using that path for indices, too, in Windows 7. I will find the root cause of that poor path choice and fix it in the source.

Re: [Zim-wiki] New web site for Windows installer; found new energy to work on Windows installer
Hi Brendan, thank you for your great work. When you work on the new package, could you please double check, if there is anything added to make the installer choose something like following for the index path? %appdata%\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Inetcache\zim\zim\ I'm running Window 10 64bit with a user having local admin rights. Could others please check this path as well, please? Thank you and Regards, Murat On 16.05.2017 09:43, Brendan Kidwell wrote: I got a little sick of my WordPress custom post types that I was using to host the Zim installer packages for Windows on my web site. I spent tonight building a new web site using ProcessWire CMS. (I highly recommend ProcessWire for rapid prototyping and small web content projects.) The new URL for Zim installers for Windows is: https://zim.glump.net/windows/ Please subscribe to this RSS feed to get notified immediately when I publish new installer packages or have other Windows-related Zim news: https://zim.glump.net/windows/news/?format=rss The old URLs will redirect to the new home page for at least 2 years. Jaap, you can update the URL listed at http://zim-wiki.org/downloads.html whenever you get around to it. Additionally, I was thinking about all the Windows-related trouble we've had with the 0.66 release -- the two big issues I'm aware of are that what's in the installer package doesn't work on Windows 10, and VirusTotal reports that Baidu and at least 1 other antivirus tool don't want to say that my installer packages are clean. The current install package building process relies on py2exe which hasn't been maintained for 7 years. Additionally, when I created this building process, Python's "setuptools" package (used by Zim) probably did not have a Windows Zip and MSI package builder function; now it does have those functions, and Nullsoft Installer System is no longer needed. In the next few weeks, I'm going to start a branch off of the 0.66 source code release to try to resolve these issues. First I need to update my Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 development virtual machine templates to provide a testing platform; then I will work on removing the NSIS dependency and resolving whatever issues remain. I'll give you an update around the middle of June if I haven't finished this work I'm planning, and I'll announce new installer packages here when I'm satisfied with the result. The new packages will be based on whatever is the current "stable" source code release at that time. In the mean time, I recommend Windows users either stick with the 0.65 installer packages or install a complete Python and PyGTK environment on your system and run Zim from the source code. Thanks for your patience.
