Patch available, revisions 745 746. Introduces a preference for the journal plugin (default is behavior as in 0.62).

The index pane is designed to always expand to the current page, regardless whether that is a journal page or not. Would not consider the old behavior as a feature. (Which of course does not exclude the option to actually introduce a feature to leave the index collapsed - but that is not a fix.) Though I'm not sure it's a regression, it's been a long time that I have been annoyed by the fact that the index gets clogged with multiple trees (the current month, the former month, the next month each with 30 days) and thus making it difficult to navigate in other pages there... I was not even aware that collapsing the higher level entry worked as you explained. So I submitted your request upstream so that we have this as a proper feature in the future. Cheers, Very interesting! Thank you for the information, and I'll look forward to being able to keep the calendar collapsed at some time in the future. Considering the existence of the calendar applet it would seem silly to navigate to a date using the tree. And the expanded calendar tree just gets in the way of getting to the other pages. I hardly every touch my mouse, so collapsing that part of the tree is just a few quick keystrokes each time. I'd imagine it might be a lot more annoying to a use who uses the mouse primarily for navigating. Thanks again! Regards, Jim

Bug#765745: zim: Calendar portion of tree in left pane insists on being expanded
Package: zim Version: 0.62-1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, The recent upgrade in Debian testing from version 0.60-1 to 0.62-1 resulted in a change in behavior. In notebooks containing a calendar, if the user selects a date page to display in right pane, then collapses the tree and hides the left pane -- when the left pane is opened again, the calendar tree will be expanded to the date shown in the right pane. Unfortunately, I just want to navigate the calendar with the calendar widget instead of scrolling up and down through the calendar tree in the left pane. In the previous version, once I collapsed the calendar tree, it stayed that way. That allowed me to use the left pane only for navigating named pages in the tree. Was this change deliberate, is this PEBKAC, or am I missing something? Thanks!
