Search notebook fails in GUI

[Andreas Kugel]

ZIM version 0.59 on Fedora 17/64bit. German version.

Searching through notebook works from commandline but not in GUI.
GUI dialog stays open forever, no results. Debug (-D) gives no hints:

Afraid I can not reproduce the issue. Will either need some test data or a more specific issue to reproduce.

Regards,

Jaap

[Andreas Kugel (andreas-kugel)]

What kind of of test data should I provide. Any specific instructions?
Btw, a similar problem exisst on exporting to HTML. Works from command line, but stops on first page when run from GUI.

[Andreas Kugel (andreas-kugel)]

Maybe there is a relation. I observe a very high CPU load on Python and Xorg when the Zim window is open:

  PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
17215 kugel 20 0 712m 35m 15m S 73.3 0.5 0:12.01 python
 1667 root 20 0 277m 153m 30m S 45.1 1.9 31:41.76 Xorg

Load goes to 0 when Zim runs iconized in background

I expect to see an error in the debug output if it just stops. But
export is really different from search.

If search completes without result, I would like a data set that
contains some pages and search works for specific word with
commandline but not from GUI for that set of pages. This is the
problem you report, but I can not reproduce.

If there is no error and zim just "hangs" it would help to know your
desktop environment etc. For sure in my installation it does not hang,
so I can not really debug how it is in your case without any leads.

Jaap

Dear Jaap,

I will try on two other Fedora machines and with a fresh notebook. I'll get back towmorrow or so.

Thanks so far.
