Depends on how tided the GUI is with the rest of the code. Thanks for pointing out dokuvimki, I did know it existed, and frankly I was unaware of how easy it is to put python extensions in vim. At first glance non of the functions used by this plugin require code that is in the GUI modules. So I think it would be rather straightforward to write a python module for zim that has the same API as dokuwikixmlrpc, then modify the dokivimki plugin to use that module and we are all set. Unfortunately no time for hacking this weekend, but maybe I can have a stab at the interface module next week.

As it should ;) Thanks, will add that fix to the trunk.

I am using vim plugins for things like trac, git, dokuwiki and wordpress and find these a great step forward when writing and documenting code. I use zim for daily journal and tracker. Sometimes I find copy-paste from vim to zim a bit tedious due to the differing use of copy-paste in the applications. The dokuvimki plugin comes with a bunch of embedded python code to use modified xmlrpc calls to the wiki. I haven't checked how easy it is to write my own wrapper around any zim api to circumvent the GUI to access and create new pages from vim. Depends on how tided the GUI is with the rest of the code. -- Svenn ___ 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
Re: [Zim-wiki] Win32: GUI with native controls?
Figured it out I wasn't aware that I had ".gtkrc-2.0" file in my %USERPROFILE% folder, put by some application perhaps Everything smooth, now that plugins doesn't pop cmd windows and Zim looks like rest of OS GUI Cheers :) ___ 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

Thanks for the tip Greg, Now I can run without attached console, but GTK looks the same unfortunately. Do you maybe have any other idea, where from PyGTK reads it's configuration? ___ 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
