Thanks, filed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/590655 I opened Zim in English to get the right names of things, not like the mess I wrote here! >> 2) Lists are not auto-parsed, that is entering "[] hello" does not >> turn into a list item. > > The window is not a editor window, it does not support formatting etc. > it is just for quickly dropping some text.

For one, the user does not see this as a paste operation. For another, the parsing of [] at the beginning of a line as an indicator of what the line represents is different than parsing arbitrary text in the middle of the line. Lastly, my previous sentence is hair-splitting and really it would be best if each individual parse could be configured as per the user's needs. >> 3) Pages do not have titles or "created on" text. > > File a feature request in the bug tracker. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/590658 >> 4) If a top-level page and subpage combination already exists, the >> subpage name is then the combination of the two.

You know how much I love and appreciate Zim, I only wish that I could have gotten around to testing it first. It seems that each release I have _less_ time on my hands, not more! I seriously respect you Jaap and other Zim contributors for the time that you make to work on this excellent application. -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki Post to : zim-wiki@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
