Re: [Zim-wiki] Placing wiki files/folders in $HOME
Just keep in mind that deleting pages from the zim wiki will also delete/trash the related folder from your home directory. -- Jaap On Thu, Nov 24, 2011 at 8:17 AM, Iago Mosqueira wrote: > On 23 November 2011 17:30, Jaap Karssenberg > wrote: > > On Wed, Nov 23, 2011 at 4:28 PM, Iago Mosqueira < > iago.mosque...@gmail.com> > > wrote: > >> > >> Hi, > >> > >> I have been thinking about setting up my zim wiki in the folder > >> structure of $HOME, so notes in folders are placed exactly where they > >> best belong, together with the files for that particular issue. > >> > >> The only showstopper is that folders/namespaces in zim are formed by a > >> folder and a text file, so I would end up with lots of files with no > >> content, in my case, cluttering up the filesystem.

And in fact setting the base folder of a new wiki as $HOME brings up all the folder tree. Very nice.

In this case I assume you first did "new page" Projects and then "new page" First. Effectively asking zim for an empty page "Projects". However if you click "new page" and then immediately tpye "Projects:First" it will not create the empty page. Alternatively you can navigate directly to the not-yet-existing page, for example using "jump to", and start typing, also in that case there will be no empty parent created.
