Re: [Announce] Zim - ported to maemo
 

Thank you very much :)

Being a gtk application there are things, like buttons overlaying the text area, that can't be implemented, at least without a very substantial effort of reimplementing good part of gtk itself.

Also, I don't want to deviate substantially from the actual interface to follow any radical UI guidelines like the ones maemo5 has, because it would have to be a reimplementation or a fork of the whole thing. On the contrary, since zim is a rapidly evolving application, I'm merging with the main branch to be able to stay in sync.

What is easy to do is to show/hide toolbars and put or hide buttons in toolbars, or tap_and_hold menus in given widgets, or fix some dialogs which doesn't fit by adding scrollbars, removing unnecesary options, keybindings, etc.
Gestures are a bit more difficult, put possible, at least to certain extent. I'd also like to have kinetic scrolling (and there are already a edit mode button in the toolbar), so it is possible that in the future I try to implement it.
Hopefully, keybindings will be user configurable at some point in the future.

As of now, I have put a fullscreen button in the toolbar for the N900 only, in the upper left corner, which shows the application menu by tap and hold. Also, to allow you to use the whole screen, I have binded <ctrl>M to hide/show the toolbar.
Menus and toolbar are fully customizable by editing the file /usr/share/zim/menubar-maemo5.xml (menubar-maemo4.xml for N8X0). I have already changed some buttons, but please, feel free to adapt it to your usage by adding/removing buttons and share with me your improvements.

Try and download the new release.

THANKS!

Just the bug fix I was hoping for.
I am really enjoying Zim on my N810.

Re: [Announce] Zim - ported to maemo
 

OK... thanks for clearing it up.
I've installed the new package. I think the solution is quite functional. With fullscreen button, long press menu as well as Ctrl+M I think it misses nothing...

If you have installed release 0.46-maemo4-4, please download and install again. The package was built with the wrong (0.46-maemo4-3) binaries.
Sorry for the mistake.

Hi,

I like the app a lot, especially for a mobile device as the N900 it really works very well.
Problem: I cannot indent checkbox item, because the soft keyboard TAB key simply insert a TAB char. Am I missing something or has anyone a clue?
