Zim is a graphical text editor designed to maintain a collection of locally stored wiki-pages, a personal wiki.[2][3][4][5] Each wiki-page can contain things like text with simple formatting, links to other pages, attachments, and images. Additional plugins, such as an equation editor and spell-checker, are also available. The wiki-pages are stored in a folder structure in plain text files with wiki formatting.
Microsoft 2.4ghz transceiver v8.0 driver. Zim is written in Python using GTK+ libraries. It is free software licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Features[edit]
Features include:
- Text is written in lightweight text mark-up (hybrid DokuWiki/Markdown). Text input has inline preview system similar to VisualEditor. Writing mark-up text in certain way gets it converted instantly into 'rich text'. These include things like headers and lists, tables, diagrams.
- Multimedia content: images, files attachment, calendar
- Links to other pages
- Multi-documents tabs
- Application does auto-saving per character. Also cursor position is saved for every note.
- Revision control system (GNU Bazaar, Git, Mercurial, Fossil)
- Tagging system
- Tasks/Todo list system
- Export single or compilation of the notes into HTML, slideshow, Markdown or reStructuredText
- Support for Getting Things Done method[6]
There is an installer for PyGTK 2.24 in test here, announced on the PyGTK list. UPDATE project has moved on macpkg's sourceforge page. I couldn't make it work with meld (segmentation fault), but sample PyGTK programs work OK. UPDATE 2 since then a new package Py3GTK3 appeared on the same sourceforge page. Haven't tested though.
Plugins[edit]
Zim can be extended with plugins. These include:

- Equations (using LaTeX and dvipng)
- Plots (using GNU R or Gnuplot)
- Spell checking (using gtkspell)
- Diagrams (using Graphviz)
- Table of Content navigation
- GNOME's Zeitgeist integration
- Lilypond note sheet integration
- Integration plugins for reference managers (Zotero and Mendeley)
Availability[edit]
Several Linuxdistributions include Zim in their repositories (as of 2011), in particular Debian, Ubuntu, Arch Linux and Fedora.[7][8][9][10] Also FreeBSD, OpenBSD and OpenSUSE[citation needed] include Zim in their ports collections.[11][12]
The core features of Zim depend on python, gtk and python-gtk modules and thus Zim can be easily ported to any platform where these modules are available. In particular, Zim has been ported to the Microsoft Windows operating system and works very well with a native feel. It has also been ported to Mac OS, but as of 2015 there were still a few issues, primarily being no native UI integration and the procedure to install being involving[13][14]. There were attempts and plans to port to Android.[citation needed]

Fixed by installing Rehabman's fork of VoodooTSCSync.sigh. this took me way too long.Hi!My device hangs at a gray screen, with a movable mouse (and since it's an installer, there's legal text at the bottom). I've found numerous similar posts, most of which point to graphics.The actual boot process seems to take a little longer than usual, stalling for a while at zero progress (after reaching 3/4ths of the way), sometimes glitching out with both an apple logo and text, if in verbose.I have two GPUs in my device, an MX150 and the integrated graphics. I can't disable any of them in BIOS (yay, thanks ASUS.); so I've tried SSDT-DDGPU, and spoofing, but with no effect.Some people say that if the drivers are completely disabled/removed, they can boot in without acceleration (which is better than nothing!), however I can't disable intel/invidia drivers since I'm trying to boot off the installer. If there's a Clover patch to forcefully kill the drivers, then that would be great?System:. ASUS Vivobook S14 (S410UN/X411UN).
Intel CoffeeLake i7-8550U. Intel UHD620, Nvidia MX150. BIOS: DVMT Prealloc 64MB, Fastboot Off, Secureboot off, Vt-d off. (no other options). Mojave 10.14.2Tried the following:. Whatevergreen -igfxvesa, -igfxbeta, -wegoff.
Different ig-platform-id/device ids. Spoofing the DGPU with bogus stuff, as well as turning it off. Different SMBIOSes (14,1/14,2/15,1/15,2). Booted off of an existing installation (external disk), hang on apple logo w/ bar and mouse.
