The 10 Most Haunted Places in America
As Halloween draws near, shut the lights off, grab your pet, a well-worn blanket, and curl up to read about some of the most spine-tingling and frightening places on Earth. As the ghost stories of each place draw you in, be aware of that disembodied footstep or strange rapping noise-it may just be a spirit trying to reach out to you!
1. Eastern State Penitentiary
Made famous by the Sy-Fy show 'Ghost Hunters' (fans of TAPS will remember former investigator Brian Harnois' infamous "Dude, run!" line as he bolted away from the ghost), Eastern State Penitentiary is known for its ghostly legends of inmates who were driven mad by solitary confinement. One locksmith reported attempting to restore a 140-year-old lock in Cell Block Four when a massive force subdued him. He also reported seeing "anguished faces" on the walls and feeling a "negative presence" as well.
Visitors have also reported seeing ghostly figures stalking the halls, and hearing strange sounds. One of the more infamous ghosts is that of an inmate who murdered 27 people trying to break free. With such a dark history, it's no surprise these bloody ghosts still walk the halls of their prison.
2. Gettysburg, PA
Soaked in the blood of both Confederate and Union soldiers, Gettysburg is prime ghost-hunting location. As seen on the episode of 'Paranormal State' at the Tilly House, soldiers and citizens of the town still roam around, not feeling at peace. A grizzled Union soldier still haunts Little Round Top, firing ammunition from his musket and Devil's Den is known to be haunted by a Confederate soldier from Texas who tells those unlucky enough to glimpse him that "what they're looking for is over there" before vanishing.
There have also been reports of ghostly battle cries and campfire conversations at Wadsworth Avenue, so if you're brave enough to attempt to get an EVP, that's a prime haunting location for the military ghosts who still roam around the town.
3. Waverly Hills Sanitorium
Also appearing in an episode of the Sy-Fy show 'Ghost Hunters,' this Kentucky sanitorium was once home to tuberculosis patients during the early 1900s. At least 6,000 deaths occured there, and some residents still haven't left! A woman with slashed wrists has appeared to visitors, screaming and begging for help, and yet others have reported spotting moving shadows and hearing screams of pain.
One of the more famous spirits is that of a little boy (thought to be the same one Grant Wilson of TAPS attempted to communicate with by rolling a ball during the live Halloween special) who often shows up in both pictures and video. Still open to visitors and paranormal teams alike, would you be brave enough to communicate with the poor souls who still haunt Waverly?
4. Alcatraz Prison, CA
Known for its bloody hisory, Alcatraz often made its prisoners go insane and their tortured spirits still haunt these very walls. One inmate reported seeing glowing eyes in his cell, and was found strangled the next morning by the guards. The dungeons, where prisoners were left chained to the wall in the nude are the site of many paranormal experiences: screams are often reported as emmanting from that area.
Meanwhile, Cell 14D is known to visitors as being very "intense" and paranormal investigators report that it's hopping with spirit activity. Their most famous inmate of all is Al Capone and the famous mobster (reportedly) still plays his banjo in the shower room. Perhaps if one listens closely, you'll hear the mob ghost's music mingling with the screams of the poor souls still imprisoned there.
5. The Stanley Hotel, CO
Famous for being the place where Jack Nicholson went crazy in 'The Shining,' this hotel is a hot spot for paranormal activity. The Paranormal Research Society of 'Paranormal State' fame had a "field trip" there, and TAPS from "Ghost Hunters" has experienced phenomena there.
Their famous spooks include a young boy who makes his presence known in room 1211 and a young man who likes to hang out in closets and bedrooms. The hotel's owner, Mr. Stanley, also makes his presence known by appearing to visitors in the lobby and billiards room, while his wife Flora entertains guests by playing a piano. The hotel offers ghost tours, so next time you're there, bring a camera. Who knows? Perhaps a friendly spirit will appear for a picture!
6. Bell Witch Cave, Tennessee
The site where John Bell and his family were tormented by a ghost now known as the Bell Witch is open to brave visitors who wish to explore the spirit world. The legend varies, but most accounts say that the Bell family's neighbor Kate Batts believed she was cheated out of property in a land purchase and tormented his daughter Betsey for years after she died.
Visitors claim that anything they take back from the site is cursed, and have also reported encountering a violent force. Technology doesn't work there either, with cameras mysteriously shutting off and flashlights dying. Would you be brave enough to face Kate's wrath if you visited?
7. Lincoln Theater, Illinois
While the Phantom of the Opera may not be in residence, there are still various phantoms haunting this space! Ghostly audience members and cold spots have been reported, as well as a young couple who still wanders around the theater and reports of footsteps that are heard on-stage.
Legend has it that the former buildings on this site had fatal fires, and a ghostly stage hand still walks the halls of the theater he so loved. Strange sounds and apparitions have been encountered on both the staircase and the balcony too. So next time you visit this grand ol' theater, be on the lookout for any phantoms who might be lurking about.
8. Myrtle Plantation,LA
This plantation is known for its ghostly inhabitants: it was built over an ancient First Nations burial ground and rumor has it that ten deaths have occured on the site. A slave named Chloe who was killed by fellow slaves is the most popular of the ghosts, but visitors have reported seeing ghostly children on the verandah, a curly-haired woman who mysteriously appears and disappears, as well as odd hand prints that show up in mirrors.
One visitor reported having a cold spot over her bed and being kept awake by a rattling closet door. Just keep in mind if you want to get some sleep, you'll have to tell the ghosts to keep it down first.
9. Moundsville Penitentiary, West Virgina
Another site of the Paranormal State's PRS "field trips", this prison is a prime ghost-hunting location! Considered to be one of the most violent of America's prisons, its inmates still haunt the halls to this day.
The Sugar Shack is known to house ghosts of the prison and visitors have reported seeing the circular cage near the entrance gate move by itself, as if prisoners are still arriving. Others have claimed to feel nauseous, get EVPS on their voice recorders, and hear evil laughter. The prison holds ghost tours, so if you're brave enough to come face to face with a ghost, grab your flashlight and enter the site…if you dare.
10. St. Augustine Lighthouse, Florida
Another location made famous by TAPS, this lighthouse's spooks are known to make their presence known by appearing as moving shadows and making unexplained noises. Legend has it that the daughters of the Superintendent of Lighthouse Construction drowned, and are haunting the building ever since their untimely death.
Three other people have passed away in the lighthouse from illnesses, and one keeper named Joseph fell to his death. Visitors have claimed to see shadows high up in the tower, as well as hearing the daughters laughing and giggling at night. The eldest girl is also fond of appearing to visitors in the outfit she passed away in. As the night grows closer, would you dare to walk around in this haunted building or would you leave them be?

The development source code of GRAMPS is stored in the SVN repository at sourceforge [1]. This helps synchronizing changes from various developers, tracking changes, managing releases, etc. If you are reading this, you probably want to do one of two things with SVN: either download the latest source or the development version, or else upload your changes (if you have write access to the repository) or make a patchfile (if you don't have write access).
- 1 Types of branches
- 2 Stable version
- 3 Unstable development: "trunk"
- 4 Working with development branches
- 5 Useful things to know
Types of branches
There are four kinds of branches in the Subversion Repository:
- trunk - There is only one trunk. All new feature development happens in the trunk. New releases never come from the trunk. The trunk for GRAMPS can be found here: http://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/trunk
- maintenance - There are many maintenance branches. A maintenance branch is created from the trunk when all the features for a release are complete. New features are not committed to maintenance branch. Releases only come from maintenance branches. The purpose of maintenance branches is to allow the line of code to stabilize while new features are added in trunk. Maintenance branches can be found here: http://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/branches/maintenance
- geps - These are meant for development of Gramps Enhancement Proposals. Most of the time GEPS are developed in the trunk. Occassionally a GEP will require extensive reworking or long periods when the code base is ususable. In these cases a branch in geps can be used as a temporary development area. Once the hard work is done the change should be merged into the trunk and the geps branch should be removed. greps branches should follow the naming convention gep-<###>-<descriptive text> e.g. gep-013-server. Please read the #Working with development branches section for help with managing these branches.
- sandbox - These are meant for experimentation purposes. If you want to explore some ideas or try out some changes that would break the trunk or prototype something that has not made it to a GEP you can create a sandbox branch. These should be short lived. As soon as you have finished please remove the branch. We reserve the right to remove any sandbox branch that has not been touched for 12 months. sandbox branches should use the following naming convention <username>-<descriptive text> e.g. hippy-prototype-rss-idea. Please read the #Working with development branches section for help with managing these branches.
Release tags are created in the tags directory. The first two digits of the GRAMPS version number are reserved to indicate the maintenance branch the code came from. The last digit indicates the revision from that maintenance branch. For example, 3.0.4 would indicate the 5th release from the 3.0 branch (3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2, 3.0.3, 3.0.4).
Here is a hypothetical example: Imagine that the current version of GRAMPS is 8.3.2. A new series of features has been added in trunk and are ready for release. A new maintenance branch is created from trunk named 8.4 (or possibly 9.0 depending on the nature of the new features). New features continue to be added in trunk that will not be included in the 8.4 series of releases, but will be included in the 8.5 series. Bug fixes continue to occur in the 8.4 branch until the code is deemed worthy of release. At that time, a release is tagged from the 8.4 maintenance branch and named 8.4.0. Some time after the release of 8.4.0, some bugs are found and fixed in the 8.4 maintenance branch. Those bug fixes are released as 8.4.1.
Stable version
- To download the source to a ~/gramps51 directory, you can use two methods to access the SVN repository:
- An http frontend to gramps SVN
- SVN access
- To upload your changes, you have to have developer access.
The second method requires that svn be installed on your system (Debian/Ubuntu:
apt-get install subversion; Fedora:
yum install subversion).
With the SVN method, type the following in the command line if you don't have a sourceforge account:
svn co http://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/branches/maintenance/gramps51 gramps51
You should see the downloading progress reported in your terminal.
If you have a sourceforge account, use https instead:
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/branches/maintenance/gramps51 gramps51
You will in this case be requested for your root keyring password which will store your sourceforge credentials, and next your password. If the user on your PC is not the same one as on sourceforge, leave password empty and press enter, you will then receive the option to enter a username first, and then the sourceforge password for that username.
If you would like to update your source tree after some time, execute the following command in the top directory of the gramps51 source tree:
svn update
To commit your changes, you need to have checked out the gramps code with https, and have commit access to the Gramps repository (the Gramps admin can give you this, Brian Matherly or Benny Malengier). Commit happens if execute:
svn commit -m "message describing the nature of the change"
Since uploading is a potentially dangerous operation, most people do not obtain write access to the SVN repository. In this case, create a patch, and commit this on the ticket tracker. You can do this in the top gramps directory as follows:
svn diff > mychanges.patch
A developer can apply this patch then with the command:
patch -p0 < mychanges.patch
Unstable development: "trunk"
- Also see: Getting started with GRAMPS Trunk.
Obtain it
There are several versions of the gramps code in SVN. The development branch for small changes and bug fixes is gramps51 and trunk has been created for the ongoing unstable version. If this talk of branch and trunk sounds confusing you might like to read the list message explaining branch and trunk.
Replace in the commands here https by http if you do not have a sourceforge account.
To checkout a copy of the possibly unstable trunk to ./trunk:
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/trunk trunk
To checkout a copy of the last branch GRAMPS 3.4 ./gramps34:
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/branches/maintenance/gramps34 gramps34
To checkout a copy of the last branch GRAMPS 3.3 ./gramps33:
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/branches/maintenance/gramps33 gramps33
To checkout a copy of the last branch GRAMPS 3.2 ./gramps32:
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/branches/maintenance/gramps32 gramps32
To checkout a copy of the last branch GRAMPS 3.1 ./gramps31:
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/branches/maintenance/gramps31 gramps31
To checkout a copy of the older stable GRAMPS 3.0 ./gramps30:
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/branches/maintenance/gramps30 gramps30
To checkout a copy of the older stable GRAMPS 2.2 ./gramps22:
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/branches/maintenance/gramps22 gramps22
Prepare trunk
Now go into the
trunk directory and type
python setup.py build
Do not install the development version if you don't know how to version python modules. That is, do not type sudo python setup.py install.
Prepare gramps34 and before
The old versions of Gramps use autotools, so you need to run
./autogen.sh make
Building with Fedora 8 - 10
These are the packages you need:
yum install intltool gnome-doc-utils gettext subversion rcs
This step appears unnecessary on windows? See Installation#Building_from_source
Run the development version
As you should not install the development version, how can you try it out? The current Python version required to run Gramps trunk is officially python2.7 as of July 2012.
Known Problems
Some problems are due to the migration from GTK2 to GTK3: list of known problems
Option 1: run from source repo
Here, we use the code in
trunk directory to run Gramps. This means that compiled python files will be stored there. This is not ideal, but the easiest way to develop Gramps, as changes are immediately picked up by the code.
Copy the const.py file created in build to your source directory if you want to use your source directory to work with Gramps:
cp build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/gramps/gen/const.py gramps/gen/const.py # note the lib.linux path may vary depending on your system e.g. it could be lib.linux-i686-2.7 python Gramps.py
That is it. If you installed some dependencies of Gramps in non-default positions, you need to indicate with PYTHONPATH where then can be found, and with LD_LIBRARY_PATH where link libraries can be found. Eg, if you install GTK and spell checking from source too, you will need something like:
PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib python Gramps.py
Option 2: use the build code
Here, we use the code build in
trunk/build directory to run Gramps. For compiled programs this is the only way, but for Gramps nothing is compiled. It is not bad however to keep your code separated from your execution, as deleting the build directory is easy. After a code change in your source, you then need to run however
python setup.py again to update the build direcotry. To run Gramps from build, do
cd trunk/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/ python -c 'from gramps.grampsapp import main; main()'
Again, it might be needed to set with PYTHONPATH where dependencies can be found, and with LD_LIBRARY_PATH link libraries, see option 1.
If you point your PYTHONPATH to the build directory, you can actually run Gramps from a random directory. Like this:
cd PYTHONPATH=~/gramps-trunk/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/ python -c 'from gramps.grampsapp import main; main()'
So, more general:
cd PYTHONPATH=~/gramps-trunk/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib python -c 'from gramps.grampsapp import main; main()'
If the build directory is in your PYTHONPATH, you can also just execute the grampsapp.py module. So this will work too:
cd ~/gramps-trunk/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/gramps PYTHONPATH=~/gramps-trunk/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/ python grampsapp.py
or again more generally
PYTHONPATH=~/gramps-trunk/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib python grampsapp.py
Note: at the time of writing, only the last, so using grampsapp.py works, as not all imports in Gramps have been converted to relative or absolute imports. This conversion will be finished by end of 2012 however.
Where for bugs?
The bug tracker has in the right top angle different projects. Choose project trunk and submit an issue.
Making a patchfile
If you do not have write access to the repository, you can make a patchfile with your changes. This is a text file which can then be sent by email to somebody, or posted/uploaded to the bug tracker (against a bug you are fixing or a feature request which you are solving for instance), etc.
These instructions assume SVN is installed on your system (Debian/Ubuntu:
apt-get install subversion; Fedora:
yum install subversion).
These instructions tell how to make a patchfile against trunk, so that your changes are added to the next major release of Gramps. (To make a patchfile against a branch the process is similar, with some slight changes.)
So first checkout a copy of the trunk to ./trunk:
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/trunk trunk
Then use your favorite editor to change whatever file(s) you want.
To then use SVN to make a patchfile, first go to the top of your changed tree
cd /path-to-your-gramps/trunk
and then tell SVN to record/document/itemize the changes to your edited file(s)
svn diff > ~/some-descriptive-name.patch
with the resulting file being the patchfile you just made.
If you want to add a new text file, such as a new python module, you can include that in your patchfile by first doing, e.g.,
svn add dir1/dir2/newfile.py
before you do the "svn diff" as described above. (This method does not work for non-text files such as image files; be warned.)
Note also that if you add a file in this manner, depending on what was added and where it was added, you may also have to modify the corresponding Makefile.am file.
I do not know how to make a patchfile which documents a deleted file which "patch" will then correctly delete. (If you know how, please add it here.) When SVN version 1.7 is released (scheduled for 1Q2011 as I write this), then there will be a "svn patch" command which should do that.
Working with development branches
If you are using a geps or sandbox branch you need to take care when merging changes from the trunk and back to the trunk. Please take a few minutes to read the Basic Merging section of the Subversion book.
IMPORTANT: please use an svn client that is version 1.5 or newer. The merge tracking functionality only became available in 1.5. If you use an earlier client you will have to deal with all the revision tracking of merges by hand - not fun.
IMPORTANT: if you see a message that talks about from foreign repository it is probably because your working copy was checked out from an http:// url but you are merging from a https:// url or visa versa. Just be consistent about why you use. Don't merge from foreign repository because svn will not be able to manage the revisions correctly.
Here is a quick crib sheet:
Creating a branch
To create a branch from the trunk:
svn copy https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/trunk https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/branches/geps/gep-014-fab-feature
Merging trunk changes into the branch
You should do this regularly so that you don't have a nasty job of resolving loads of conflicts when you come to merge your changes back into the trunk:
cd gep-014-fab-feature svn merge https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/trunk
NOTE you will see some modification to files that you are not expecting. If you look at these you will find that they are modifications to svn properties. These are used by the merging tool to keep track of what changes have already been applied.
Merging changes from the branch back into the trunk
When you are ready to merge your changes back into the trunk:
First make sure you have all the trunk changes in your branch:
cd gep-014-fab-feature svn merge https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/trunk svn commit -m "meaningful message"
Then move over to a working copy of the trunk and merge in your branch:
cd trunk svn merge --reintegrate https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/branches/geps/gep-014-fab-feature
Now build it, test it, convince yourself that it all works and then commit the changes:
svn commit -m "All the changes for GEP-014"
Now you must delete your branch. You can recreate it later if you need to but svn can not cope with doing another merge --reintegrate from the same branch:
svn remove https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/branches/geps/gep-014-fab-feature
Removing branches
It is important that branches are removed once they have been merged into the trunk or have been abandoned. To remove a branch:
svn remove https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/branches/geps/gep-014-fab-feature
The developers reserve the right to remove branches that have been dormant for more than 1 year.
Useful things to know
Subversion commands
svn help add
svn help commit
svn help log
Adding files to repositories requires you to set some properties to the files and to have a sourceforge account. See
svn help propset. You can use the
propget on existing files to see how you should add it. A convenient way is to common files to your
~/.subversion/config file, eg in my config I have:
[miscellany] enable-auto-props = yes [auto-props] *.py = svn:eol-style=native;svn:mime-type=text/plain;svn:keywords=Author Date Id Revision *.po = svn:eol-style=native;svn:mime-type=text/plain;svn:keywords=Author Date Id Revision *.sh = svn:eol-style=native;svn:executable Makefile = svn:eol-style=native *.png = svn:mime-type=application/octet-stream *.svg = svn:eol-style=native;svn:mime-type=text/plain
Ignore files
You should on creation of new directories set the svn:ignore property:
svn propedit svn:ignore src/new_dir/
and there set at least:
*.pyc *.pyo Makefile Makefile.in
The GRAMPS project does not keep a ChangeLog file under source control. All change history is captured by Subversion automatically when it is committed. A ChangeLog file is generated from the SVN commit logs before each release using svn2cl. Developers should take care to make useful commit log messages when committing changes to Subversion. Here are some guidelines:
- Try to make a descriptive message about the change.
- Use complete sentences when possible.
- When committing a change that fixes a bug on the tracker, use the bug's number and summary as the message.
- When committing a patch from a contributor, put the contributor's name and e-mail address in the commit message.
- It is not necessary to put the names of the files you have modified in the commit message because Subversion stores that automatically.

General Questions
What is Zimbra Desktop?
- Zimbra Desktop is a free and open source email client application that gives you online and offline access to all your email accounts in one place. It's cross-platform, available on Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS and Linux. Zimbra Desktop works with many types of email systems to synchronize email, contacts and calendar data between user's mailboxes in the cloud and local data stored on your computer disk. While synchronization requires network connectivity, Zimbra Desktop can be used offline when the user's computer is not connected to the network.
Is Zimbra Desktop really free?
- Yes. Zimbra Desktop is open source and free. We make both the software code and the application itself available to anyone at no charge.
- See here for license information.
Does Zimbra Desktop contain any spyware?
- Absolutely not. In fact 100% of the Zimbra Desktop code is open source so everything the software does is open to the public.
What types of accounts are supported by Zimbra Desktop?
- Zimbra Desktop supports the following account types:
- Zimbra (for use with Zimbra Collaboration Server or Zimbra Collaboration Appliance)
- Gmail
- Yahoo! Mail
- Microsoft Exchange (via IMAP)
- Other email services using POP3 or IMAP4 access
What is a Zimbra account?
- A Zimbra account is hosted by a server running the Zimbra Collaboration Server software. In order to use Zimbra Desktop with your Zimbra account, your service provider or your email administrator must be running ZCS 7.2 or later. Contact your administrator for the email account settings.
Do I need a Zimbra account in order to use Zimbra Desktop?
- Not at all. You can use Zimbra Desktop with any types of accounts we support.
Can I setup multiple accounts of the same or different types in one installation?
- Yes. You can setup as many or as few accounts as you need. For example, you can setup two Gmail accounts of different usernames or domains, one Yahoo! Mail account, and one IMAP account for your company's IMAP server.
Is Zimbra Desktop available in my language?
- Currently Zimbra Desktop does not offer a localized installer and account setup. However, after installation and configuration the application supports 20+ languages. You can set your languages from you Zimbra Desktop Preferences.
How do I get help with using the software?
- First, we recommend that you read this FAQ. Secondly, the Zimbra Desktop Release Notes have a lot of information about the latest release. Finally, you can get help on the Zimbra Desktop forum. When posting to the forum, always include:
- the version number and build number. (Find this in the envelope icon, About Zimbra Desktop section. The icon displays in the Microsoft Windows Tray or in the Apple Mac Dock row)
- what platform (Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac, Linux)
- what mail service (Zimbra Collaboration Server, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, etc)
I found a bug. How do I report it?
- Go to Zimbra Bugzilla to file a bug. It will help Zimbra engineers to investigate your issue if you include as much information as possible, including how to reproduce what you see. Sometimes screenshots can help. Always be sure to tell us:
- the version number and build number
- what platform
- what mail service (Zimbra Collaboration Server, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, etc)
- If this is your first time logging a bug, you will need to register an account. By doing this you will be notified on every update to the bug you file.
I have this brilliant idea to make Zimbra Desktop significantly better. How do I get it into the product?
- Go to Zimbra Bugzilla to file a Request For Feature (RFE). Select "enhancement" as Severity. We always love to hear cool ideas.
Download and Install
What are the prerequisites of installing and running Zimbra Desktop?
- Before you start, you should check out the Zimbra Desktop Release Notes where you can read about the latest release and known issues.
Where do I download the installer?
- Go Zimbra Desktop Downloads to download the installer for your platform.
What platforms do Zimbra Desktop support?
- Zimbra Desktop can run on Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows 7, Apple Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and a variety of Linux (i686) flavors including Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, SUSE, etc.
- Yes. Zimbra Desktop supports multi-user systems and "quick user switch". Each user's data are completely isolated from one another.
Where is the install location?
- While you can choose to install to any folder on your computer, the default install paths on the respective platforms are as follows:
- Microsoft Windows XP, Vista and 7 (32bit) - C:\Program Files\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop
- Microsoft Windows Vista and 7 (64bit) - C:\Program Files (x86)\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop
- Mac OS Snow Leopard - /Applications/Zimbra Desktop
- Linux - /opt/zimbra/zdesktop
- In the rest of this FAQ we will refer to the install location as <install>.
- On Linux, the default install location /opt/zimbra/zdesktop often requires root permission. If that is the case, run the Linux installer as root. Answer "No" when asked to "continue to install data files for user: root". Login as regular user to complete the second part of the installation.
Where is the user data location?
- Each user's data is under their standard data location on the respective platforms as follows:
- Microsoft Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop
- Microsoft Windows Vista and 7 - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop
- Mac OS X Snow Leopard - /Users/<username>/Library/Zimbra Desktop
- Linux - <home>/zdesktop
- where <username> is the username of the user and <home> is the home directory of the user. In the rest of this FAQ will refer to the user data location as .
I have older versions of Zimbra Desktop installed. Can I upgrade to the latest version of Zimbra Desktop?
- Current installations of Zimbra Desktop 2.0.x can be upgraded to 7.x directly. To upgrade, just simply run the latest installer. All user settings and data are preserved during the upgrade.
- Zimbra Desktop 1.0.x can not be upgraded to Zimbra Desktop 7.x. Due to extensive and incompatible changes in the underlying database architecture of 7.x, auto-migration of 1.0 data to 7.x is not supported. To migrate "local" data, 1.0 users must first export the local data to files (under Preferences...); then import them back to 7.x once 7.x is up-and-running. To migrate "remote" data (data on server), users can setup accounts on 7.x and sync the data down from the remote server.
After installing the latest Zimbra Desktop version, can I downgrade versions?
- Downgrading is not officially supported and it may lead to data corruption.
How do I know which version/build I'm running?
- Run Zimbra Desktop.
- Windows: Zimbra Desktop has a tray icon in the system tray. Right click the tray icon and select "About Zimbra Desktop". The About dialog will show your version and build number. Remember to always include your version and build number when reporting issues.
- Linux: Click on the "Gears" icon in the bottom left of the application window. Select "About Zimbra Desktop".
- Mac OS: Right click Zimbra Desktop's dock icon while it's running. Select "About Zimbra Desktop".
How to install spell checker dictionaries?

Running Zimbra Desktop
How do I run Zimbra Desktop?
- On Microsoft Windows, select the Zimbra Desktop program from Start menu. On Mac the Zimbra Desktop program is under /Applications/Zimbra Desktop. On Linux double click the Zimbra Desktop icon on your Desktop.
How do I shutdown Zimbra Desktop?
- On Microsoft Windows clicking the "x" on the upper right corner of the window only minimizes Zimbra Desktop to the system tray. To shutdown Zimbra Desktop, either select "Quit" from the application main window's system menu, or right click on the tray icon and select "Quit". On Mac and Linux, simply closing all the application windows will shutdown Zimbra Desktop.
Can I still receive new mail when Zimbra Desktop is not running?
- No. Once the graphic user interface of Zimbra Desktop exits, backend service also stops. But you can hide Zimbra Desktop GUI, which should allow backend service to continue to receive new mail.
I don't use Zimbra Desktop very often and sometimes I want to free up more memory. How do I shutdown the Zimbra Desktop data engine?
- Microsoft Windows: in the tray icon menu select "Shutdown Service"
- Mac: use the Dock icon menu.
- Linux: shutdown Zimbra Desktop using a terminal window by running the following commands (as the user): cd ~/zdesktop/bin ; ./zdesktop stop
How do I start the Zimbra Desktop data engine after I stopped it?
- Launching Zimbra Desktop GUI automatically starts the data engine if it's not already running.
Data Synchronization
How much data is stored on a user's computer?
- Zimbra Desktop is designed to download all user data in the cloud to store on the user's computer. This approach allows Zimbra Desktop users to access all of their data when offline.
Where are the data stored?
- Actual data is stored as files under /store, where each item is a single file. Metadata is stored in a SQLite database under /sqlite. In addition, indexes on data are stored under /index. These three folders contain all user data, and any direct modification to these data will result in corruption and possible data loss.
Can I backup the data in those three user data folders by simply copying them to another location?
- While that is possible, it is not recommended. If you choose to do file based backup, you must first quit Zimbra Desktop before running any types of backup.
- However we recommend users do backup using the import/export feature instead. You will find this feature under the tab Preferences > Local Folders. Zimbra Desktop users should regularly backup their accounts using the export tool. Regular manual backup is even more important for POP accounts and Local Folders where you only have one copy of the data on local disk (as opposed to "synced accounts" like Zimbra, Yahoo, Gmail or IMAP where you have another copy of everything on back-end server).
Is my data stored on my computer secure?
- Currently Zimbra Desktop does not provide application level encryption. It is important that you choose a secure file system and not give others access to your computer.
Are all my data in Zimbra Desktop always in sync with my data in the cloud?
- That depends on the type of account, what you choose to synchronize, and how often Zimbra Desktop synchronizes with remote servers. For Zimbra accounts, virtually 100% of data is synchronized with the server, including user preferences. The only data not in sync are changes you made since the last synchronization. For Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Exchange IMAP and other IMAP mailboxes, user preferences are not synchronized with the server. For POP accounts, all data are stored locally only once they are downloaded. In addition, all data that is under Local Folders are stored locally only. Data that only exist locally in Zimbra Desktop is referrred to as local data.
If my hard drive dies and I have no data backup, do I lose all my data?
- You will lose all your local data. Data still in your mailboxes in the cloud can be downloaded again once you setup a new Zimbra Desktop install. Therefore, it is important to backup your mailbox data periodically, especially your local data. It is also worth noting that when you choose to delete or reset a mailbox, all data including changes you made since your last sync is deleted from your local computer although data under Local Folders will remain.
How often does Zimbra Desktop synchronize with remote servers?
- That depends on the sync schedule you choose for each of your accounts. Zimbra accounts support the option to synchronize whenever your mailbox on the server has any new changes, which is referred to as "push". Zimbra Desktop currently doesn't support "push" for other types of accounts. You can also force an immediate sync of all accounts by clicking the "Send/Receive" button. If there are outgoing messages in your Outbox, sync will run immediately unless your sync schedule is set to "manual". With "manual" setting you must click the "Send/Receive" button to even send outgoing messages.
Can the latest Zimbra Desktop version synchronize with older versions of ZCS servers?
- Zimbra Desktop 7.x does not work with ZCS 5.0 or earlier. Zimbra Desktop 7.x is mostly compatible with ZCS 6.x, with the exception of "Documents" (WiKi) app. Documents app is deprecated in Zimbra Desktop 7.0 (and in ZCS 7.0 as well). To access Documents on ZCS 6.x, users have to use the web client.
I read or deleted some messages using a different client. Why are those changes not reflected in Zimbra Desktop?
- For any non-Zimbra mailbox, auto sync only downloads new messages. In order to synchronize other changes such as unread flag changes and deletions you have to click the "Send/Receive" button to do a manual synchronization.
Can I install Zimbra Desktop on multiple computers and make them synchronize with the same account?
- Absolutely. Just remember for non-Zimbra mailboxes you have to click "Send/Receive" in order to see changes you made from one install in other installs.
How do I uninstall Zimbra Desktop?
- On Microsoft Windows you can also use "Add or Remove Programs" to uninstall. On Mac and Linux, shutdown the data engine and then remove everything under <install>. You can optionally also delete everything under if you no longer need the user data.
Multi-account Goodies
What is the "All Mailboxes" section?
- It's a virtual mailbox that shows an integrated view of all your physical mailboxes. The virtual Inbox under "All Mailboxes" shows messages from Inboxes in all of your physical mailboxes. Other virtual folders under "All Mailboxes" work the same way.
How do I tell to which mailbox a message belongs?
- Each message has an account indicator, an icon that shows the type of account.
Can I use "All Mailboxes" the same way as I do a regular mailbox?
- Yes, you can read, flag, move and delete messages in virtual folders just as you do to those in physical folders.
If I delete a message from a virtual folder, where does it go?
- It's moved into the Trash folder of the same mailbox where the message is.
What account identity will it use when I reply or forward a message in a virtual folder?
- By default it will use the identity to which the original message was sent. However you can always switch to a different identity in the composer. In fact you can even switch to an identity that belongs to a different physical mailbox.
I don't like seeing messages from different mailboxes together. Can I turn off "All Mailboxes"?
- Yes. Go to Preferences and uncheck the option to "show the 'All Mailboxes' section with my other accounts".
Can I move or copy messages from one account to another?
- Yes.
What is the "Local Folders" section?
- That's a separate mailbox that doesn't sync with any server account. A folder under "Local Folders" is a local folder. All items in a local folder exist on your computer only. You can move or copy items from any account to a local folder so that those items are saved on your computer.
I can see all my accounts in Mail application, but why don't I see some of them in Address Book or Calendar applications?
- An account is present in an application only if that account supports the data type. All accounts support mail data, and that's why you'll always see all accounts under Mail. However some accounts, like generic POP or IMAP, don't support address book and calendar data, and therefore they are not included in those applications.
Can I move a meeting from one account to another?
- Yes. For example, if you have one Zimbra account and one Gmail account with calendar sync enabled, you can move a meeting in Google account to your Zimbra account. However by doing so you are deleting the meeting from your Google calendar and adding it to your Zimbra server mailbox.
When Things Go Wrong
My emails stopped coming in. What's wrong?
- It could be that synchronization with remote server encountered an error. Some errors are recoverable, like when the remote server is temporarily unavailable or your network connectivity is down. First look at the sync status indicator next to the account name in the folder tree. If you see a red square, you are having connectivity issue with the server which is typically temporary. When the indicator is a red circle with an exclamation point, an error has been encountered during sync. Click on the error indicator for more information.
What do I do when I'm blocked by an error?
- If your sync cycle always ends in error, you may have found a bug in the software. To help us debug the issue, first collect some debug information. In the mailbox search box on the top left (not the web search box on the right), type in "$set:debugtrace on" (without the quotes) and hit enter/return. You'll see a green popup saying debug trace is turned on. Then click the Send/Receive button (or in multi account case pull down to select to just sync that account) to manually force a sync and wait for the spinning indicator to turn into the red error indicator. Then open the log file located at /log/zdesktop.log and find the trace section between
- and
- If you have multiple such sections, find the last trace section. Then post the issue to the Zimbra Desktop Forum with the trace. If the trace is too long, put it in a file and attach to the post. Alternatively you can also file a bug on Zimbra Bugzilla and attach the trace to the bug. If the trace contains information you do not wish to make public, mark the attachment private so that only Zimbra employees can access it.
I'm seeing some UI display issues. How do I correct that?
- It's often hard to tell between a UI display issue and a data issue. However if you suspect there's something wrong with the display, you can try a few things to verify. First, click on the folder in the left folder tree pane which will cause a refresh and displays the content of that folder. This applies to not only mail but also contacts, calendar and other data types. Secondly, you can use the Shift+F5 shortcut key to force a fresh of the UI, which is equivalent to closing and relaunching the UI window. If the issue goes away after doing so, it's a display issue and you can file a bug accordingly.
The UI does not load at all, or some parts of the UI are left blank, what should I do?
- First, check the log file located at /log/zdesktop.log. If the problem is in the data engine you will see some errors in the log.
- Secondly, try using a Web browser to display the UI and see if you get the same behavior. Firefox and Chrome are the preferred choices.
- To use your default browser to display Zimbra Desktop UI, go to the account setup page and click on "open in web browser" link at the bottom.
- If you are on Mac and see "invoke Read timed out, server: 127.0.0.1" after trying to launch Zimbra Desktop, one possible cause is that you are using ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist, but did not include "/usr/bin" in $PATH environment variable. Correct that and re-run the installer.
When checking for errors in the log file, what do I look for?
- An error often generates a Java exception stack which helps pinpoint where it was originated in the code. An exception stack looks something like this:
Code:service.FAILURE at com.zimbra.common.service.ServiceException.FAILURE(ServiceException.java:253) at com.zimbra.cs.datasource.ImapSync.connect(ImapSync.java:147) at com.zimbra.cs.datasource.ImapSync.importData(ImapSync.java:118) at com.zimbra.c s.datasource.DataSourceManager.importData(DataSourceManager.java:154) at com.zimbra.cs.mailbox.LocalMailbox.importData(LocalMailbox.java:327) at com.zimbra.cs.mailbox.LocalMailbox.syncAllLocalDataSources(LocalMailbox.java:300) at com.zimbra.cs.mailbox.LocalMailbox.sync(LocalMailbox.java:357) at com.zimbra.cs.mailbox.LocalMailbox.syncOnTimer(LocalMailbox.java:282) at com.zimbra.cs.mailbox.DesktopMailbox$1.run(DesktopMailbox.java:117) at java.util.TimerThread.mainLoop(Timer.java:512) at java.util.TimerThread.run(Timer.java:462) Caused by: com.zimbra.cs.mailclient.CommandFailedException: LOGIN failed: LOGIN failure. Server Error-Please try again after some time. at com.zimbra.cs.mailclient.imap.ImapRequest.checkStatus(ImapRequest.java:94) at com.zimbra.cs.mailclient.imap.ImapRequest.sendCheckStatus(ImapRequest.java:80) at com.zimbra.cs.mailclient.imap.ImapConnection.sendLogin(ImapConnection.java:118) at com.zimbra.cs.mailclient.MailConnection.login(MailConnection.java:205) at com.zimbra.cs.datasource.ImapSync.connect(ImapSync.java:143) ... 9 more
- When providing information on an error from log file, include at least a few lines before and after the exception stack to be complete.
What additional information can I collect to debug a UI display issue?
- In the Zimbra Desktop UI window, use Shift+F6 to reveal the status bar on the bottom. Click on the Settings icon at the right end of the status bar and select Tools -> Error Console. Then click Errors on the top to filter out non-error information. If there are any errors they will be helpful in debugging your issue.
- Also, try running Zimbra Desktop in a separate web browser and enabling the Zimbra Desktop debugging interface.
- Go to set up page (Click on set-up link on top right corner)
- Click on Open in web browser link (find it at the bottom of set-up page)
- add &dev=1&scripterrors=1 to the URL.
- Reproduce the problem.
- You may see a popup with a JavaScript stack trace. If so, please send it to us.

Covered Button Tutorial
You'll still need a covered button kit (the ones marked "refill" are fine, you don't need the silly tools included in the basic kit). The first thing to do is cut out your circles of fabric, based on the pattern on the back of the package.
Take your fabric circles to your machine. Using a long basting stitch (4mm is a good length), stitch all the way around the edge of the circles, using a 1/4" seam allowance. Leave long thread tails. Cut off the upper thread tails, leaving just the bobbin threads hanging.
Pull the bobbin threads up, causing the circle to gather. Don't pull it all the way closed, just let it form a little cup.
Put your upper button piece face-down into the little fabric cup.
Now, pull the bobbin threads tight so that the fabric is snug around the button.
Keeping the threads pulled taut, snap the back of the button on.
Cut off the thread tails.
Voila! Lovely covered buttons.
That's all there is to it. I used these little polka dot buttons on a blouse made from Colette Patterns Sencha blouse. I'll model it for some pictures later, but here's a sneak peek of the back.
You'll notice that my version of this blouse has a little Peter Pan collar, which isn't included with the pattern. But guess what? Coming later this week is a video tutorial on drafting a Peter Pan collar yourself! I'm super excited about it, and I hope you love it.
P.S. Question: are you all able to easily get these Dritz covered button kits? Let me know if not. I'm sure there's a way to do this tutorial without the kit, perhaps using regular shank buttons and wrapping the shank in buttonhole twist or something? Hmm, I'll think on it.

In the UK, self-covered button kits are widely available. I've seen them in John Lewis and in haberdashery departements of other shops. I'm not sure they're made by Dritz, though.ReplyDelete
So excited for a peter pan collar tutorial! I was honestly searching for one just yesterday, and what I found left me with far too many questions. Can't wait!ReplyDelete
Yay for covered buttons! I have being doing the gathering technique for a bit; I gave up on the way the instructions show the process after too many failed button covering attempts. ;) hehe! It's a little bit of extra work, but well worth the effort for the finished product!ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see your finished blouse--it's so darling from the sneak peek! :D Plus it has a Peter Pan collar, and you know I have a huge weakness for collars... lol!
Covered buttons are lush! I know Prym has a selection of Covering buttons with tool, which makes the sewing part unnecessary (unless one wants to be very minute). I've used them a lot, with great success. I know there's some etsy-sellers who sells only the tool (search words: cover button assembly tool).ReplyDelete
Great tutorial, I've been wondering about that. I'm also looking forward to the Peter Pan collar - your blouses are totally cute and I've been thinking about making one... or maybe a dress with a Peter Pan collar. :)ReplyDelete
Oh, and just one question: I've used the plastic covering buttons as well, but Prym only provides white plastic. Have any of you managed to get hold of the black ones? If not, I can always do what you did, Gertie, for the coat. What about a tutorial on that, covered button with covered back, or did you already have a post on how you did that?ReplyDelete
I love the look of covered buttons, but never got around to ever doing any. I didn't realize how easy it was. Hmm...I know of a few projects that I might need to tweak ;) Super excited about the peter pan collar tutorial!ReplyDelete
You can buy the kit at Panda in the Garment Center but they only include 3 or 4 buttons. However, you can buy boxes of the buttons from them. I think each box contains 100 sets of buttons. I went halfsies with a friend of mine and split the bill. The buttons come in different sizes.ReplyDelete

I used this method recently to cover jumbo snaps. I didn't realize that it could be used for buttons too (thanks for bringing the obvious to my attention!).ReplyDelete
I can get covered button kits at the Joanns in my punky little upstate NY town, so I would say that they are probably pretty readily available. I'll have to try this technique sometime... I usually apply some fusible interfacing to slippery fabrics before I make buttons out of them to prevent the warping and sliding around. Can't wait to see your Sencha! I'm finishing the hem on mine tonight!ReplyDelete
Hey ladies! You know, I actually thought I devised this method myself . . . I guess I'm not as inventive as I thought!ReplyDelete
frk.bustad, I had the buttons for my coat professionally made. If your fabric shows through, though, you can put a circle of lining fabric behind your fashion fabric and stitch them together.
- Chrys in KSFebruary 16, 2010 at 9:34 AM
I have never used a "modern" version of the covered buttons. I always use the vintage Prims ones that I get at thrift stores.ReplyDelete
Anyhoo, the instructions say to WET the fabric first if it is slippery or hard to manage. I have never sewn my edges and get very nice results wetting them.
I have used the little tiny ones (size 18-7/16 inch) to make fabric thumbtacks. Just cover with fabric, remove the shank, and hot glue to a plain brass thumbtack. Voila! Cute thumbtacks. : )
I found TWO self-fabric belt and buckle kits the other day at the thrift store along with some little self-fabric buttons. Score!
Hey ladies! You know, I actually thought I devised this method myself . . . I guess I'm not as inventive as I thought!ReplyDelete
Yes you are! One time I wrote an article for a sewing mag and I said to my editor, I thought I had invented the idea that I wrote about but then someone pointed out that it had been published in a book from 1954. Her reaction was, "There is nothing new in techniques out there. People just need to be reminded of them." Sigh... no patents for me! :p
Gertie, I second what Gorgeous Things said! :)ReplyDelete
I'm inspired:o)ReplyDelete
I will sometimes use two layers of fabric or interface the fabric to give the covered buttons a look with more body and presence and to prevent that shine of metallic show through. Especially on light-weight fabrics, it's just a bit more professional looking. An FYI if it works.ReplyDelete
- Myrna
I didn't know it could be so easy. I love peter pan collars.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the tutorial, in my hometown they used to sell covered buttons, I mean there used to be places where they did it, but unfortunatly, nowdays they don't do it anymore, they just sell the metalic button, but I'm gonna search in the web one, not the kit you mention in your post, but kind a machine they used to have to do that.ReplyDelete
Clothes looks great with those kind of buttons!!
Eeee thank you so much! I just purchased a vintage blouse pattern and have been wondering about making fabric covered buttons - the Dritz kits are everywhere here so that's good! Also excited for the peter pan collar tutorial, have lusted after your peter pan blouse for a while and wondered about pairing it with the sencha blouse :) you legend!ReplyDelete
nice tutorial! I *think* I've also read of using a bit of double stick tape or glue to hold the fabric centered. But I'd be concerned about what laundering might do if either of those were used. Probably not an issue when using a heavy fabric, but on a thin fabric, I'd be concerned about it showing/oozing through??ReplyDelete
Chrys in KS - interesting tip on wetting the fabric - do you assemble the button while still wet?
Myrna - when using 2 layers, do you stitch or fuse them together and treat them as one piece, or arrange 1 layer and then the other?
Ah, now I remember about the professional covered buttons you got for the coat... Such facilities are just so beyond what we can get where I live, so self covering buttons are the nearest.ReplyDelete
JustGail: I've also used two layers on thin fabrics, to avoid the shine from the metal shine through the fabric. It worked very well without attaching the two layers together, I just lay them on top of each other on bias (so that the density of the threads would increase), and into my covering tool they went. I guess that'll work fine also if you choose to sew them together like in Gertie's tutorial.
One suggestion for the purpose of wetting the fabric: I guess that's for shaping the fabric around the button, and when it dries, it'll gather more tight to the button?
I like using the prym ones we get here in the UK. they are plastic so I dont worry about them rusting or rough metally edges catching or ripping fabric. And they come in so many different sizes too. I love covering buttons for my stuff.ReplyDelete
Your directions gave me one of those "Why didn't I think of that?" moments. I usually use the kit but, boy, if you don't press the back on just so, you can end up with tucks or wrinkles. And once the back is on, it's impossible to get off. I'll try your technique next time. Thanks!ReplyDelete
I also love covered buttons. If you don't feel like all the stitching a little amount of water on the fabric before stretching over the button it dries fantasticly and cuts down on the slipping. But I love your idea as well.ReplyDelete
Hey Gertie,ReplyDelete
I thought some of your readers who can't find the Dritz kits might find this tutorial (written by BurdaStyle member MarmotaB) useful:
Great tutorial - thanks!ReplyDelete
I love your blog!!ReplyDelete
I discovered you over on BurdaStyle a long time ago,a nd I'm sorry I've never posted before, but I actually have something useful to say (other than gushing over you, your style, your creations, skills, insights, etc.) I bought a sampler kit from CoverButtons and I think hey are the absolute best covered buttons I've ever used. One hint, with sher-ish fabric these metal buttons, I like to use a bit of solid-colored fabric underneath to hide the "shine through."
I cannot wait to see your video tutorial later. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the web!
You are brilliant. Such a tiny tip that makes all the difference in the end result. Thank you so very much for sharing. Keep creating...ReplyDelete
Just because someone else has already thought of it, doesn't make it any less important to have arrived at the idea on you own. Or so at least my professor used to say in univ. =)ReplyDelete
Great tutorial! Thank you! I've been wanting to make my own buttons, but has hesitated. I got a prym-set from Christmas, so now I'm really itching to try it!
- Chrys in KSFebruary 17, 2010 at 10:24 AM
JustGail: Yes, you wet the fabric and assemble that way. Exactly as frk.busted said, it helps to smooth the edge wrinkles as the wet fabric will stretch and then shrink as it dries. I think it helps especially on the little tiny buttons. : )ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 17, 2010 at 10:59 PM
What a super clever idea! I always buy vintage covered button kits & refills whenever I come across them as they used to have a wider variety of shapes & sizes...and they are usually cheaper than the new ones available in craft stores!ReplyDelete
~Christine H.
Not only is the tutorial great, but so are the helpful comments! I have been making covered buttons using the "wing and a prayer" method, so about half come out wonkey and need to be tossed out. Now I have several tricks I can try to make them all come out perfect, every single time and on purpose!! Thanks for posting this!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 28, 2010 at 7:24 AM
I've used covered buttons quite a lot (the little ones) for children's coats, etc. I always liked the Maxant brand of covered button better. They are a little harder to find but the little teeth that grab the fabric do a better job and I never had one to come apart.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 12, 2010 at 4:30 AM
Yay for the tutorial. I am sitting here finishing off my buttons and they look great. I even managed to find ones with the brass backs (I hate the look of the plastic ones).ReplyDelete
Thanks for saving my bacon!
- CarolineMarch 28, 2011 at 9:27 PM
Thanks - that made it so much easier ...ReplyDelete
Thanks for the tip. I followed it and added that I interfaced (very lightweight) my fabric (linen) first to discourage fraying.ReplyDelete
Also I added a dab of glue to the inside before snapping on the button back for extra insurance.
I've used the white plastic self-cover buttons and rather than faff about with lining (I'm not very patient with fiddly things!) when the white plastic shows through I just colour the button face using waterproof colouring pens from my kids' pencil case! You can match the colour to your fabric and if you can't find the black self-cover kits you can convert your white one in a minute! Works a treat but make sure the ink is waterproof!ReplyDelete
