Hi Japp,

not sure about this. I like zim for its speed and the git integration,
also the search abilities are very nice.
I used KeepNote before ... but that just doesn't work out with all the
DB transactions in the backend, when things get bigger.

I had the idea to put the ''' verbatim ''' brackets in the "Default.txt"
template.
This works so far, all but the last line of the every Default page no is
verbatim.
Unfortunately the courser is getting set to the last line :-(

So I had the idea to remove the last line-break from the Default.txt
with an hexeditor ...

cat Default.txt
'''
''
xxd Default.txt
0000000: 2727 270a 2727 27                        '''.'''

Now zim crashes all the time and can't save pages... Guess python
readfile() return a None Object. (Attachment)

Thanks for any feedback


Cheers
