Public bug reported: I distribute my Zim notebooks with Git on a couple of my computers so that I can get my data from everywhere.
Today I pulled an updated repository with a new relatively large (about 7 MB) notebook. In Zim I added it to the notebooks list, but when I tried to open it, Zim stuck. After about 30 minutes I decided that there is no hope and tried to kill it with "killall zim". This returned "no process found". Then I tried: ------------------------------------- ps aux --forest | grep zim ------------------------------------- The output was: ------------------------------------- alexey 14210 0.0 0.3 928696 23312 ?
