Hello and thank you for this great software !

Excuse my english, I'm French and english is not my native tongue.
I'm coming to you because I have problem using Zim desktop under Ubuntu.
I'm trying to migrate from Windows to Linux and I'd like to use the 
notepad I was using under windows.
I used to sync it through different computers and it worked well, even 
if I had often to delete the .zim directory.
Unfortunately, it seems not to work the same way with my fresh Ubuntu 
install.
When I open the notepad, Zim tries to build index for ever. Once, I let 
him do it an entire night but in the morning, Zim had crashed.
Now, Zim does not even wants to launch and he tells me that on startup :

"This is zim 0.70-rc3
Platform: posix
Locale: en_US UTF-8
FS encoding: utf-8
Python: (3, 6, 7, 'final', 0)
PyGObject: (3, 26, 1)

Do you have any idea ?
I'd like to use my Notepad with both Ubuntu and Windows. Is it possible ?

Thank you,
