"Insert citation" stopped working

[sojusnik]

When trying to insert a citation (Ctrl+Shift+c), the following appears:

This is zim 0.65
Platform: posix
Locale: de_AT UTF-8
FS encoding: UTF-8
Python: (2, 7, 10, 'final', 0)
Gtk: (2, 24, 28)
Pygtk: (2, 24, 0)
No bzr version-info found

Happens with the recent version of your plugin and Mendeley 1.16 under Ubuntu Gnome 15.10.

Would be nice to have your very useful plugin working again.

All the best!

Interesting. Looks like some API or another has changed — I'll try to take a look soon, thanks for pointing this out.

[sojusnik]

Are there any news regarding this issue?

Apologies, I don't ever use zim anymore, nor can I get it to even launch on macOS Sierra. But, my blind attempt at a fix can be found on the fix/ui-issues branch — let me know if that works.

The fix in the new branch is indeed working, thanks! But after clicking on the link in Zim, the linked document isn't highlighted in Mendeley anymore. Documents from one author and year are therefore hard to differentiate.
