Hi Francois,
Somehow the index file is corrupted. In this case indeed removing the
".zim" folder or just the ".zim/index.db" file should work.
If it doesn't work, have a look in "~/.cache/zim" - likely you find
the relevant "index.db" in there.
After removing it, you should be able to start and re-index the notebook.
If indexing gives problems, try to run it from a terminal with "zim
--index notebook --debug" and report the error messages in the bug
tracker at GitHub.
Regards,
Jaap

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,
François
