Open Another Notebook; zim hangs, if already open

Can you run zim as "zim -D" and reproduce the issue to generate debug
output ?

Thanks,

jaap

Hello Jaap.

See Debug.txt, attached.

There is also a core file, due to "Force to Quit" X11 window.

The Notebooks are mostly empty, just created for playing with zim.

(Thanks a lot! I've made already advertisements for vim, but we'll see).

Wait is the notebook you open from the dialog the same notebook as where
the dialog is opened from ?

If so I understand - the process hangs because it is calling itself .. will
need to fix that.

Hello Jaap.

My workstation is a RedHat 5.3 and therefore quite old. There is only
python 2.4, cannot do much about it now.

I've started zim from another noebook and set the DISPLAY to my
workstation. So, that other notebook handles all about zim, but
just the X11 display is somewhere else.

I've also tried to get python 2.6 from our IT department up and
running for RHE 5.3, because there are quite a few of them
for reasons and it surely would pay off. Then I can start zim
directly from teh workstation.

By the way, most if not all python programs start with
    #!/usr/bin/python

presuming that there is a new python version. This may be
not true. Of course you can alwaas start zim by
    /path_to_new_python/python zim.py

Or, consider to let PATH decide what python should be taken:
    #!/bin/env python

Best regards,

    Andreas

UUuuhhh, sorry for misunderstanding.

The answer is "YES", because you talk about zim-notebook,
not the physical one, which accidentally is a notebook too.
I wondered how you could guess it, its name is "LabNote", but
you are not in contact with En Es Ei, N xx S xx A, are you? :-)

Best regards,

Sorry, I was talking about notebook as in "zim notebooks" not as in
"notebook PCs".

What I meant is that you have a notebook open in zim when you select the
"open another notebook" dialog, then you click in the list the exact same
notebook to open -- correct ?

See #5; Sorry for the noise.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
