Re: Zim 0.62-rc2 Windows build published; lots of Windows build process cleanup done; more to be done
by the way, copy / paste seems to work now.
I don't see a difference between copy as Wiki / Markdown / RST, though.
Regards,
Murat

Hi Brendan,
I tried the portable version and it seems as if the user plugin folder is not found.
Clicking on the <Open plugins folder> button in Preferences/Plugin shows this path:
C:\Tools\ZimWiki\Portable\ZimWiki067rc2\App\Data\zim\plugins
Could you check this please?
Thank you and Regards,
Murat

Hi all,
Over the last couple of weeks, I fixed a number of issues with the Windows build process for Zim. I'd been itching to upgrade on my Windows machine I use for my job, so I decided it was time to release a packaged build. I noticed that Jaap created a 0.67-rc2 tag less than a day ago. I merged that into my branch, did a few more fixes, and sent Jaap a pull request.
I have built, signed, and published current versions of the Windows package for 0.67-rc2. I have only performed cursory tests on Windows 7 32-bit. Please backup your data before you try this.

The rest of this message quotes the release announcement:
--------
*Please backup your data! This is an unstable and largely untested
release!*
Windows build process changes:
* Cleaned up build README a lot.
* Cleaned up build process a lot.
* Added "README for Zim for Windows" file -- it's in your Start Menu / Zim Desktop Wiki folder.
* README mentions where you can find your Plugins folder!
* Removed dependency on PortableApps.com for the portable launcher and portable packaging.
* Created our own standalone NSIS-based portable and DEBUG MODE launchers (see new README in ./windows/src).
* Removed requirement for build person to download "Microsoft.VC90.CRT"
folder; found it in %WINDOWS%\WinSxS.
* Created Python script that runs the desktop installer builder.
* Prepared to merge Portable installer with Desktop installer (one package); it's not done yet; for now we're shipping a Zip file for the Portable version.
Still yet to be done on the Windows build process:
* Desktop and Portable build in a single installer .exe.
* Integrate missing Spell Check files into the package so the plugin works.
* See if Windows clipboard access is still a problem and investigate and fix.
* Test on several versions of Windows
See also the CHANGELOG for changes in the upstream main project.
