I don't have a solution, but I share this issue on one (debian) of two (other=archlinux) zim installs using the same notebook (synced with syncthing).
On the problematic debian install, I tried opening the notebook with a fresh-from-git version of zim and had the issue. So, maybe it is an issue in ~/.local/share/zim/ I didn't spend too much time on this as the work around is easy. when completing a link with cmd+L, start with : for inserting a date link with the calendar plugin, I use a modified version <https://github.com/WillForan/zim-plugin-nowbutton> of the now-button plugin On Wed, May 9, 2018 at 1:42 PM Christoph Held <kreisleri...@icloud.com> wrote: > Hi > > Thanks for your response but this is not the problem I described.
