Zim

Notebook seems emtpy when opened on linux

Asked by Michael Karban

Hi everyone,

I'm moving my workstation from a Windows 8 box to a centOS 6 box.
My Zim notebook is on a smb fileserver accessible from both machines.
Both versions of zim are 0.59

When I open it on the windows machine, all the notes are visible.
When I open it on linux, the text is not there, or invisible and when I leave a sub directory, it disappears from the interface.
If I browse the notebook files using a web browser I can see all the text.

I've also tried copying the notebook directory to my linux home directory, same results.

Any ideas?

Afraid you have to explain a bit better what you mean by "the text is
not there, or invisible and when I leave a sub directory, it
disappears from the interface". Are you talking about the text in the
pages, or about the index in the side pane ?

In general if you work of a share drive you should set the "shared
notebook" option in the notebook properties. Then first time you open
it from a specific system, allow some time to rebuild the index. After
that it should be fine.

Regards,

Jaap
