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

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

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.

@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!

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!!

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

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