Bug Description
Steps Done
=======
1. Downloaded and installed Zim-setup-
2. After installation default Note (with named as 'Note') was being created and opened.
3. As seen from the demo video from site I tried creating another note from the one I was in
4. So I did typed
:Demo
5. Then I clicked on Demo link which took me to a new note with name 'Demo'. Also created a new Demo note on left panel of Zim Wiki.
6. After opening the new Note, I wanted to open a new note within this one. So I typed as follows :-
:Imp Linux Cmds
(Basically a name with multiple words)
7. But, while I tried navigating to the new note by clicking on the new name (i.e. on :Imp Linux Cmds), nothing happened, I was not navigated to the new note, not even a new note was created.
8. The suddenly I realized that my current note (Demo), is a new and blank one, then why not change it's name. So i changed it's title on the top of note.
9. But the new name was not reflected in left nav panel which lists all the existing notes.
10. So I just right clicked on the name of the Note(Demo) from left nav panel. And found rename option.
11. So I renamed it there to 'Imp Linux Cmd'.
12. Next it asked me whether to change all it's reference? And, I pressed yes.
13. As explained in step 2 - 4, I have created this 'Demo' from within 'Note'. So it did tried changing the reference of 'Demo' (:Demo) to 'Imp Linux Cmd' (:Imp Linux Cmd) there in the first note 'Note'.

Tests Ahead :-
=======
14. I closed the dialog and try re-opening the Zim wiki. But this time the same error dialog opened with the above given error message.
15. I went to the folder where the notes were being saved, deleted them and tried opening Zim wiki again. But it failed in the same way.
16. So I uninstalled it with iobit uninstaller ( Which deletes all the associated registry key as well).
17. After reboot, I was able to re=install it successfully.
Shoul dbe improved with release 0.66
