Cherrytree: CherryTree doesn't work on Ubuntu 20.04 any more.

Hey,

I have installed newest version of Ubuntu like 20.04. As i see that a few python packages which CherryTree require are not included/supported in this 20.04 version any more.

root@0ksyrm0r0n:~# apt-get install cherrytree

I tried install manually package by package but it's pain of ass. There are to many depedencies. Is there any way to adjust CherryTree to the newest version of Ubuntu 20.04 ? For now the only way is use wine.

Please use the snapstore for now https://snapcraft.io/cherrytree or manually install python-gtksourceview2 as for debian stable:
NOTE: Debian stable does not have python-gtksourceview2; install the oldstable manually from https://packages.debian.org/stretch/python-gtksourceview2 (new gtkmm3 version coming soon…)

From Snapstore, CherryTree works like a charm :). Thanks for your replay.

I have upgraded system Ubuntu to 20.04 and Cherrytree was removed. So I installed the snap package, but I lost many settings.
-> I guess the snap does not use the same settings file ?
I try to restore settings 1 by 1, so far I can't find how to have Cherrytree minimized to top-right indicator zone.
-> Is it possible ?
-> Is there a list somewhere of the specific known problems of Cherrytree in snap package ?
Thanks !

I think the flatpak is using the same config while the snap package runs in a sort of isolation.
The old config is in ~/.config/cherrytree/config.cfg while for the snap one try the menu help--open preferences directory

Thanks, it works ! Only 1 feature lost is : I can't "minimize to system tray," because the required "python-appindicator" package has been removed with Python2 EOL.
But it's nothing, I can live with it !
