Gah! I need to migrate out of Gmail! ... stupid reply-only-to-sender default for lists!!!

Great. I'll merge from trunk on Friday and have another go at the Windows packaging. I ran into some difficulty getting py2exe's output along with all of GTK's binaries -- following a good looking howto -- to actually work when moved to a new machine. I'm going to try building on Windows XP instead of 2008, and Python 2.6 instead of 2.7 and see if that gets me anywhere. Sorry I didn't get around to making a bug for this request. I had to sleep and go to work. The relative path feature will definitely make the PortableApps.com package simpler -- thanks!

Yes please open a bug report for this just in case. The idea to automatically scan all notebooks in a given folder has been proposed before - see https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/208611 . This is to complex to fix before next release.
