Re: [Zim-wiki] Using Zim as document editor

[Joseph Reagle]

Hi Johan, FYI: there's been a long-standing issue for Zim to move to the 
markdown format, and supposedly some work has been done, but I don't know the 
status:

https://github.com/zim-desktop-wiki/zim-desktop-wiki/issues/26

A method of converting any format is certainly an interesting idea.

Please see my comments after your text (below).

Do you mean Zim regularly polls the files (via something like 
`os.path.getmtime(path)`) within the Zim folder? If the user were to register 
other filetypes (e.g., json) could it not simply watch those files within the 
Zim folder as well?

Re: [Zim-wiki] Zim 0.75 released !

[Joseph Reagle]

Carlo Cabrera (@carlocab on Github) seems to be the main person for the Brew, 
not sure if they are on this list. Since 0.75 showed up in Brew faster than in 
the [official releases][or] -- for which there's still no MacOS package -- I 
didn't know if the releases went to Brew.

But it looks like they continue to be different builds, with different paths 
and install parameters, where Brew is quick to update but weird, and official 
is slow to release but works?

There was an [issue then discussion][is] trying to track this, but it hasn't 
received any news in a while. I've gone back to 0.74.3_153 for now.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Old tasklist interface (Was: RFC: New Tasklist User Interface)

[Joseph Reagle]

Thanks for the clarification, that helps me put a point on my issue: "upper 
level" bullets -- even if closed -- appear in the Task List as active even if their 
sub-items are not *yet* active and not shown themselves because of their dates.

That is, if an open checkbox that isn't yet active because of its date is 
precluded from the active item list, shouldn't it's closed parent? And then, 
once it is within the active date range, it and its parent reappear in the task 
list.

[Zim-wiki] Old tasklist interface (Was: RFC: New Tasklist User Interface)

[Joseph Reagle]

In the current task plugin, what is the meaning of `[<]` and `[>]`?

Also, in the screenshot you can see I have some task items that are checked 
because they are upper level items with an @edu tag that *could* have subitems 
and I want those subitems to inherit the parent tag. But since they have no 
open subitems presently, I'd like for them to not show up in the task list. 
Shouldn't a `[x]` or `[*]` keep something from showing up in the task list (but 
still permit open subitems to inherit the tag)?

Re: [Zim-wiki] Zim version 0.74.0 released !

[Joseph Reagle]

Okay, I've left a comment on #1582 and fear 0.74 is a bad move for Mac users.

https://github.com/zim-desktop-wiki/zim-desktop-wiki/issues/1582


I've reverted back to 0.73.5 because the new CSD is non-standard on the Mac. It 
moves the maximize, minimize, and hide button to the right side of the window, 
and doesn't change between color and monochrome to show whether a window has 
active focus or not.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Zim version 0.74.0 released !

[Joseph Reagle]

[fixing from email address]

Thank you Jaap! I was able to rebuild it for Rosetta on an M1 Mac via:

arch --x86_64 /usr/local/Homebrew/bin/brew reinstall 
--build-from-source zim

Please see my comments after your text (below).

I'm having some issues with the new "editing bar". First, it's using its own 
button chrome instead of the native minimize, maximize, close buttons.

Second, window placement and geometry is now weird. On the latter, I place zim 
in my lower right corner, but now need to adjust it (`-25-75` instead of `0-0`) 
because of the new bars:

arch --x86_64 /usr/local/bin/zim $HOME/joseph/plan/zim/ --standalone 
--geometry 900x1000-25-75 &

Third, can I disable the editing toolbar on the bottom? I won't use it. I've enabled the 
toolbar plugin but that gives me yet another (vertical) bar to the right without removing 
the one on the bottom. Plus, the operation of the new "editing bar" seems slow.

None of this is a big deal, I'll stick with it for now. 


BTW: The reason the button chrome is an issue is because I rely on it to tell 
me if the Zim window is focused for keyboard input. When I launch it with the 
following script, the Zim window won't have focus, and so if I type something 
the keystrokes go into a different app. I've added the hack to keep trying to 
focus the Zim window, and it mostly works, but I'm also dependent on the native 
window chrome to tell me the Zim window has focus.

[Zim-wiki] FYI: Zim on homebrew x86_64

[Joseph Reagle]

Homebrew 3.0 was just released with some big changes under the hood to 
accommodate arm64 (Apple M1). 

https://brew.sh/2021/02/05/homebrew-3.0.0/

Switching my terminal over to M1 mode -- *not* Rosetta 2 -- homebrew said there 
was no package for Zim. And I failed trying to use Zim from source or maintain 
an x86_64 version of homebrew while my Terminal was otherwise in M1 mode. 
Things break around Zim python GTK dependencies. 

I returned to using my terminal in x86_64 mode (with Rosetta 2), but others 
will probably be encountering this issue soon.

(My thanks to whoever has been maintaining the Zim brew, and whoever sorts this 
out!)

[Zim-wiki] using virtualenv or pipenv? (Was: Zim release 0.69 and plan for 0.70)

[Joseph Reagle]

I mitigated and closed the issue below by taking advantage of virtualenv.
This was my first time using it. I started trying to use pipenv but it was 
choking on something related to pygobject. I was able to get around that by way 
of virtualenv: `/usr/local/bin/python2 -m virtualenv --system-site-packages 
--python=python2 env`.

In any case, I know very little about python packaging, but wouldd it be 
possible to upgrade beyond the setup.py into something like pipenv or 
virtualenv? Different platforms might still have different C packages with 
different names, but could this help with the pip version 2 vs 3 stuff?

Re: [Zim-wiki] Zim release 0.69 and plan for 0.70

[Joseph Reagle]

Two other things with the left pane:

- how to increase the font size? I don't think gtk+3 has a `.gtkrc-3.0` file
- clicking on a page in the pane doesn't open that page, it now requires a 
double click

For the MacOS folks, I had to `brew install pygobject3 --with-python3`.

After a quick look, the indexing seems much faster. But I had to quickly
abandon because when I tried to resize the left navigation/page pane it
took up 90% of the window and would not budge.

I don't think this is possible: I don't think there's any URI scheme that 
corresponds to a local Message-ID.

Back in 2005, I used email archives that could reference a message by way of 
Message-ID. I then created an email filter that appended the URL of that 
archive with its specfic Message-ID to the signature of the email. That way it 
made it very easy for me to click on or save a link (in Zim) to a specific 
message.

https://reagle.org/joseph/pelican/praxis/mailman-message-id-and-persisten-uris.html

I suppose you could create a local archive that did something similar.

Okay, the save_uistate exception seems to result when I launch zim with the

Re: [Zim-wiki] start page for zim

[Joseph Reagle]

This problem is deeper than I expected and has to do with the state/cache: 
on_close_page ... self.save_uistate(). Here is my `notebook.zim`:

```
[Notebook]
disable_trash=False
document_root=
endofline=unix
home=Home
icon=
interwiki=jp
name=plan
profile=
shared=False
```

Whether shared is True or False, it keeps state in `$HOME/.cache` directory:

```
DEBUG: Running from a source dir: /Users/reagle/bin/zim-0.68
DEBUG: Set XDG_DATA_HOME to /Users/reagle/.local/share
DEBUG: Set XDG_DATA_DIRS to [, ]
DEBUG: Set XDG_CONFIG_HOME to /Users/reagle/.config
DEBUG: Set XDG_CONFIG_DIRS to []
DEBUG: Set XDG_CACHE_HOME to /Users/reagle/.cache
```

There, I deleted `notebook-Users_reagle_joseph_plan_zim/`. And hurray, I now 
start on the home page, but still the path state is never retained. After I 
browse a bunch of pages and quit, the state is:

```
[History]
list=[["Home",0,null]]
recent=[["Home",0,null]]
current=0
```

Also (and I suspect this is the crux) as I browse the pages I get these errors:

Yes, this is no longer working. 

My Zim pathbar is stuck on `Recent pages` with a particular sequence of a 
snapshot from the past. If I browse a bunch of pages, quit and relaunch, the 
recent activity is lost (and I'm stuck back on the same stupid start page).

> zim.py MyNotebookName :Home

That's a good tip, but I wish there was a way to reset/fix my pathbar.

Setting their homepage property does affect the page I am taken to you when I

it first launches. Is it supposed to?

[Zim-wiki] mac: upon launch have zim come to the foreground

When I launch zim on MacOS its window doesn't come to the foreground. I have to 
select the window before I can start typing.

This is a hack, but it works with a tiny bit of patience:


```
#!/bin/bash

python2 $HOME/bin/zim-0.68/zim.py -D -V --geometry 900x1000-0-0 --standalone &


# run every half second since I don't know how long zim will take to appear
sleep 0.5

sleep 0.5

sleep 0.5
osascript -e 'tell application "Python" to activate windows where name contains

Re: [Zim-wiki] Using start AND due date

[Joseph Reagle]

Trying 0.68-rc 1 doesn't solve the problem of my disappearing tasks after index 
from the terminal.

Some additional sleuthing indicates running index from the terminal is a likely 
culprit.

1. When I run `Update Index` from within zim it takes 5-6 seconds.
2. When I run zim --index on the command line, it completes in less than a 
second, so perhaps it fails and deletes my tasks in the index?

```
python2.7 zim.py --index  ~/joseph/plan/zim/notebook.zim
```

Should I be able to run the following with debug too? I get an error:

```
╰─➤  time python2.7 zim.py --debug --index  ~/joseph/plan/zim/notebook.zim
/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.14_2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python:

python2.7 zim.py --debug --index ~/joseph/plan/zim/notebook.zim  0.01s user

```


BTW I also get a warning messages from GTK when running:

> For sure this should work - I use it all the time myself :)

I discovered there was a general problem with zim not picking up tasks on many 
of my pages. The only way I've been able to address it is to go through, 
manually, all of my pages and edit them a little bit (add and delete a new 
line) before zim will pick the tasks up again. The underlying syntax of that 
text, before and after, is exactly the same though.

Unfortunately, all of that is undone next time I export my wiki to HTML (which 
I do often) because I run `zim --index` before such exports (because of an 
earlier problem I don't recall), which causes zim to forget most of my tasks 
again!

I used it infrequently, but then it stopped working on the only entry I had, so 
I thought I misunderstood.

After retyping it in, it now works. So I suspect there was a problem with some 
confusion with the underlying syntax.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Zim Python errors

[Joseph Reagle]

Hello Gustavo,

I found that if I wanted spell checking to work, I had to install: pyenchant 
pyxdg pygtkspellcheck.

I am on MacOS 10.12.6 and I use pip2 from homebrew:

`/usr/local/bin/pip2 install pyenchant pyxdg pygtkspellcheck`

That installs:

- pyenchant==1.6.8
- pyxdg==0.25
- pygtkspellcheck==4.0.5

I'm unfamiliar with the build_sphinx issue but my suspicion is that your python 
install and paths aren't quite right.

Try `/usr/local/bin/pip2 install pyenchant pyxdg pygtkspellcheck` and let me 
know what it says.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Markdown headers convention

[Joseph Reagle]

Unfortunately, Zim uses a non-markdown syntax. Pandoc can convert markdow to 
zimwiki; and zim can export to markdown. But you are better off looking 
elsewhere if you want a markdown editor.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Zim glib errors on macOS Homebrew

[Joseph Reagle]

I restored my old packages, and zim is working again. I suspect the culprit is 
glib, which went from version 2.48.2 to 2.50 since my last update. Can anyone 
confirm?

[Zim-wiki] zim 0.65 problem with index in template

[Joseph Reagle]

Hi all, since I upgraded to the latest version I've been having problems with 
my templates. Given the following command:

```
ird:~/tmp$ /usr/local/bin/python /Users/reagle/bin/zim-0.65/zim.py --export 
--recursive --overwrite --output=/Users/reagle/joseph/zwiki --format=html 
--template=~/tmp/zim-0.65/data/templates/html/Default.html 
/Users/reagle/joseph/zim --format=html --index-page index
```

The link to the index is broken, no matter whether I:

```
[ Up ]
[ Home ]
[ Index ]

```

In the index case, the file simply doesn't exist except at the root level.
In Up and Home, even if I test for those variables, the link that gets 
generated is None.

Hrmm I had not seen this, but it looks hackish. Of course, I don't know if 
any big browser supports XPointer for XHTML(5) documents, which was supposed to

Re: [Zim-wiki] curly brackets, escape them?

[Joseph Reagle]

Hi Jaap, thanks for the note. I understand your point, but it does strike me as 
a bug none-the-less in that I've typed something in to the GUI which is then 
changed upon reloading.  Does zim have no facilities for protecting/escaping 
special characters in the underlying source when they are typed in the GUI? 
(Yes, the users can use a code block, but that's putting the obligation on them 
to protect characters.) Shouldn't it be that I shouldn't have to know the 
underlying syntax when I'm typing in the GUI?

BTW: What is the code block plugin? Do you mean source view?

[Zim-wiki] curly brackets, escape them?

I have the hardest times with curly brackets. I can type them on a page and 
they look fine, but if I close zim and reopen it, they are broken. If I look at 
the source, the curly brackets are there, but I think they are being parsed as 
zim syntax. Is there a way to escape them, and shouldn't zim do that when you

I'm experimenting with getting Zim to install on OSX. One of the main problems

The best option seems to run the zim's source files from the ports install 
python, but I'm still missing the spell checkers.

- zim install from ports
- doesn't have many plugins like spell-checking and tasks
- pygtk as pkg
 - crashes a lot
 - Python quit unexpectedly while using the
   libgdk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib plug-in
- /opt/local/bin/python2.7 zim.py #use ports python and src zim

 Many thanks for zim 063
 
 Some points:
 
 1. Cannot find directions for installing using Platypus on 
 http://zim-wiki.org/
 I do find them on
 https://github.com/jaap-karssenberg/zim-wiki/wiki/Install-on-OS-X-using-Platypus
 These directions are useful and I can confirm that they work well.
 Also, I do recommend using PyGTK
 
 2. I find a bit confusing whether we have to run
 ./setup.py install
 or not. I guess not, but why is this mentioned then?
 
 3. Export to html: Problem with not having the top page in the left
 index has been solved. Thanks!
 
 4. Still crashes if I move a sub-page to a different place in zim's
 left tree. Re-start does not work from the crash panel automatically
 opened by MacOSX. Have to close that and re-run zim063. In that case,
 the sub-page has been moved to
 the selected place. This crash is not a big problem for me as I used
 the little mac as a secondary machine (essentially for traveling) and
 can reorganize the tree
 on the linux machine at the office.
 
 5.In case this were of any help, I link the output of ./test.py
 https://www.dropbox.com/s/6sqcboq38n9v302/test_report.html?dl=0
 
 6. Having to use ie. Ctrl-c instead of Cmd-c is odd on a Mac. But if
 this is difficult to solve or implies maintenance problems I can
 perfectely live with that.
 
 7. I have the notebook on dropbox and works great.
 
 8. If I select inserting an image, cannot paste the path and name in
 Location. Not sure if this happens on linux too.
 
 Note I can try to help debugging the crash, but need directions on what to do.
 
 Thanks again for zim. It's a really valuable tool for me and would
 like to contribute somehow.

[Zim-wiki] go with the dominant syntaxes: label/tags and tables

[Joseph Reagle]

I'm writing a Python script that expires tasks (with an '[x]') out to my HTML 
page of done stuff. My done stuff page has been syndicated in the past, and 
I've considered emitting it as a twitter stream. In which case I'll likely 
convert '@' labels to '#' hashtags. Any chance of following the twitter 
conventions within zim itself? (I suspect zim actually preceded twitter on this 
front.)

Also, I noted some discussion of tables. I hope one day zim will adopt a common 
markup syntax (ideally pandoc markdown) but until then I think it makes sense 
to still go with a dominant syntax. 

fyi: The markdown community is trying to converge across its various extension 
syntaxes and implementations.

 If you want to plug into zim you could have a look at the print to browser

It's just two functions in my script that runs whenever I synchronize my flat 
files with the Web server. It's actually rather stupid, just pulling the text 
out of the txt files. I've attached it below though I doubt it would be of use 
to others, but  perhaps an expire plugin that moves [x] tasks to a 
journal/calendar might be.

 No zim's @ syntax does not predate the twitter convention. But you will
 find there are older systems using @ for tags as well. Main reason I
 choose this syntax is that in HTML # is used for anchors, which is a
 feature we still want to add to zim.

OK.

 Actually work is ongoing to make zim support multiple syntaxes. No need to
 have one-size-fits all in this respect. See previous discussion on this
 list, as well as various syntax related feature requests in the bug tracker.

Yes, I saw some discussion of that a month or so ago, but I didn't know it was 
being actively developed. (My fingers are crossed.)  BTW: no bugs are listed

[Zim-wiki] Will there be a natty build for ppa:jaap.karssenberg/zim ?

[Joseph Reagle]

I know natty was just released, but I'd love to run 0.52 :-).

(I added it, but get an error, so I presume there's nothing there.)
