   I’m also using zim for over one year now for taking notes. I got a bunch of pages and categories etc, it’s really a great tool. Also you can export your pages to HTML-Documents or Text2Tags which can be further converted to any wiki-syntax.
   But what is that plugin called which is shown in the end of the video? That looks really nice.

   A GNOME-what? plugin
   What is the “final neat feature” of zim? A plugin to what program?

   @Juani: GNOME-Do. It’s kind of like Quicksilver or Launchy, ‘cept for Linux! Find out more here: http://do.davebsd.com/

   Thank you: it looks cooler than the “all-in-one” desktop bar. A zim plugin is a big plus.

   Uauh!!
   GNOME-Do is very clever! I love it. Thank you!

   How do you create a tree structure in Zim Wiki??

   I mean for example if I wanted to a page called “Finance” and want to create two other pages ( like assets and debt) linked to the “Finance” page and to appear under Finance in the index like a tree.

   Thanks!!

   @Suhail Open the sidebar if it isn’t open already, and right click on the “parent” page. Select “New Page” and you will be prompted to create the child page. You can also do this inline by typing the name in colons. For instance, suppose I had an existing page called “Parent” and I wanted to create a sub-page called “Child” I could create this automatically with a link by typing “:Parent:Child:” (sans quotes, of course). Click on the auto-created the link, and you’ll be taken to your new page!

   Hope it works for you!

    Hi.
    Not being very fond of the Evernote crowd (Linear scroll unwiki nature) I’ve used zim as part of a system.

    [ZIM] + [DROPBOX] + [Firefox Scrapbook addon]

    Scrapbook does the best job of saving webpage snippets.
    I then drag and drop the Scrapbook file into the zim page - so I have:

    Zim available on all PC’s with a linking system to all my webpages
    and all available offline if need be.

    I also love the simple structure of the zim wiki format - simple text files that I can edit with the text editor of my choice.

    Hi Walkman,

    I love your system! I already use Zim Wiki + Dropbox.

    When you use the Firefox Scrapbook extension, do you have a way to make sure the original web address gets copied across into Zim?

    Thanks,

    David

    I’ve been a GNOME-do user for a little time now, but I just got into zim-wiki’s world like a week ago and I like it, but I want to use de plugin so it’s easyer for me to use zim-wiki from GNOME-do but I can’t find it anywere, please tell me where can I download it and install it, it is not on the GNOME-do’s site (I didn’t find it, I think is not there)

    Great work by the way
