Tagging, entering information

Can I say that one Tag is part of another?

Yes, to create part-of relations, drag an instance in the miniquire tree on another instance. Alternatively, you can create new relations using the search field to the lower right when looking at an instance, there is also a "part-of" relation there.

Where does gnowsis store my data?

All data is stored in your 'home directory', in a folder called '.gnowsis_beta'. For most windows users, this folder is hidden by the operating system, also on MacOS this folder is usually hidden in the finder. If you are interested in the data, you have to know how to look into hidden folders and then go to:

• c:\Documents and Settings\yourname\.gnowsis_beta (windows)
• /home/yourname/.gnowsis_beta (unix)
• /Users/yourname/.gnowsis_beta (MacOs)

I moved the application and now it doesn't start

Gnowsis stores the "installation folder" of gnowsis. If you move the installation, you have to change the configuration in the .gnowsis_beta folder. Edit this file:

• .gnowsis_beta/config/services.xml

Problems, Troubleshooting

Service X doesn't start, the gui freezes, gnowsis behaves bad

Which operating system are you on? Gnowsis works good on windows, good on macOs and well on Linux.

• If there are serious problems, look into ~/.gnowsis_beta/gnowsis.log
• If there is nothing in it, you can change loglevels here: ~/.gnowsis_beta/config/workspace.xml
• If you start from eclipse, try "rebuild projects"
• If you use latest from SVN, update often or, if that doesn't help, switch back to an older changeset

The database seems to be broken

You can "savely" delte the resource-database. That is the database that is filled by crawling. The PIMO is backed up to a plaintext file every day, so that is also restoreable.
