Auto starting zim in Ubuntu 8.04

Hi Alan,

The answer is that these features are not yet available in version 0.23, but got introduced in 0.24. The documentation on the website is up to date with version 0.25 (which is essentially a bug fix release for 0.24). Have a look at the changelog at the website for other differences.

I know there is an ubuntu package for zim 0.25 in testing (intrepid) or you can install the source version.

Regards,

Jaap

New question #41268 on Zim:
https://answers.launchpad.net/zim/+question/41268

Hi, before filing a bug, I wanted to check I'm not being stupid ;-)

I have created an item in my session profile. I've installed Gtk2::TrayIcon (via synaptic) and it works O.K.

From the command line, Zim does not understand two options mentioned on your FAQ:

1. --daemon zim doesn't like this switch at all:

alord@twoflower:~$ zim --daemon
Usage: /usr/bin/zim [OPTIONS] [NOTEBOOK] [PAGE]

 NOTEBOOK is the directory to store all docs, for example ~/zim/
 or the name of an earlier configured notebook
 PAGE is the page you want to open

 See man zim(1) for OPTIONS, try "/usr/bin/zim --doc" for the user manual

2. the _default_ option is also not recongnised as a valid Notebook:

alord@twoflower:~$ zim --iconify _default_
/usr/bin/zim: No such notebook: _default_

If I type the following on the command line:

/usr/bin/zim --iconify ~/Notes

It works fine and zim appears in my tray. However having this command in my session doesn't work and zim is not started. (~/Notes is the dir where I create my notes)

Zim is from the Ubuntu repo and is telling me it is version 0.23

Any ideas or suggestions anyone?

Many thanks

Alan

Thanks for the quick reply,

I'll get the 0.25 build.
