What you want to do is run zim with "zim -D" from a terminal, when the
error happens it will spit out a stack trace that shows the exact line
in the code were it goes wrong. On that line there is some parameter
that is None but should probably contain a file object. Work back from
that line to where that file should come from.

(Btw. latest dev version / next release this stack trace will also be
shown in the "you found a bug" dialog directly to make it a bit
easier.)

Hope this helps,
