Starting Zim IDE

Zim IDE can be started in two different ways:

1) Starting Zim IDE from Zim Thin Client

You may invoke Zim IDE directly from Zim Thin Client or Zim QT (both only in Zim 9.00):

Zim IDE will initialize using the database connection from your current Zim Thin Client or Zim QT session.

2) Starting Zim IDE Directly

From the Zim installation directory, execute or double click on the file ZimIDE.exe

Alternatively, you can also click on a Zim shortcut:

on the Desktop;

on the Quick Launch tool bar;

by selecting on Start → (All) Programs → ZIM → Zim 9.00 (or Zim 7.21→ Zim IDE

Since Zim IDE is not starting from an existing Zim Thin Client or Zim QT session, all the necessary connection information needs to be provided.

The following window will de presented when ZimIDE.exe starts.
