awesome i have some ideas, i was thinking i'd have to do everything on my own but if i can leverage the dendron api that would save me work

Be sure to share what you create 🙂 Also don't hesitate to ping any of the team members when you get stuck.

Yup that's what #748936364283920495 is here for

broadly i have an idea to add time tracking to dendron frontmatter as the datastore

i've been experimenting with all kinds of time trackers but having them be seperate from where i want to store the final reports has been too much friction

Hello channel i'm bumping since it might have been overlooked? https://discord.com/channels/717965437182410783/735365126227493004/971005975010086922 have a great week everyone

Oh sorry, we must have missed the error message. Are you still getting that? Could you send a diagnostic report after getting that error? (you can run the command "Dendron: Diagnostic Report", and message me the output)

Seems like the error is in the init phase

Sorry it's "Dendron:Dev: Diagnostic Report", you can also look for "Dendron:Dev: Open Logs"

But you might not see them if it's failing before it initializes.

For anyone else getting this error, this is caused by the

.dendron.ws

file getting corrupted. Please try deleting that file, then reloading VSCode. The file is at the root of the workspace.

Anyone got any neat tricks for search for / listing all tasks and tasknotes in a vault?

I really like the Todo Tree extension, because it adds an extra pane for search. It take a bit of configuring, depending on the tags you use. For instance, I tag things with the week number (2022w19 or whatever), which you set in VSCode's

settings.json

file. It's not automatic, but I've made that part of my sort of "weekly review" routine, and I think it's a productive review for me. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Gruntfuggly.todo-tree Otherwise, I think VSCode has a built-in search pane that can be persistent. I know I've seen Kevin mention it, but I can't recall the details of how he uses it right now.

Will a note created via a template which contains

traitIds

in the frontmatter automatically use the trait callbacks? Or do you have to use the command "Create note with custom traits" to trigger that logic?

Applied templates that just has the

traidIds

frontmatter will not trigger the

onCreate

behavior. Similarly creating a note with custom trait will also not apply templates I believe. @jyeung correct me if I'm wrong here 😅

Today - what @hikchoi just said is correct. But in the future, the behavior @kfischer_okarin you mentioned is the way forward. The idea being that you can apply traits to notes via templates and schemas.

That would be very useful... 👍

Hello. Which configuration do I use to change scratch note naming format? Example: - Today:

scratch.2022.05.09.081022.md

- Want:

2022.05.09.1.md

and subsequent scratch notes to be

....2.md

,

...3.md

, etc.

Or is there another way to think about this? Maybe its not worth the trouble? Might be easier to change the Journal naming convention instead of Scratch?

The scratch note behavior is baked into the command so it's not flexible enough for your need. I would go with creating a note trait for this instead. Not sure how the last part would be handled at the top of my head, but creating a custom note trait is the most flexible way available.

My first time hearing of a "note trait". I see others mentioning it above... I'll check the wiki and put some thought into it. Thank you

Here is a quickstart guide: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/EQoaBI8A0ZcswKQC3UMpO/

The way I think about 01 02 03 is that at ...9.md the next entry is ...10.md which means you end up with something like this:

1.md
10.md
11.md
2.md
3.md
...

so then the semantically ordering is preferable:

...
08.md
09.md
10.md
11.md
...

in front matter, should tags auto complete with ctrl+space? i get 'no suggestions'

No that's not supported. I don't think there's an existing feature request if you'd like to request it

ok i will request it thanks! do tags in general not support auto complete or just front matter

Regular tags (ones in the body) do, but you might have to manually trigger it

cool makes sense. ill make a request

Currently a gist embedded url stored in GitHub cannot be displayed in a Dendron-based published page. Do I need to enable anything to make it work? Or simply that feature is not currently available yet?

Could you share a bit more on that? What's a "gist embedded URL"? How are you trying to display that in Dendron?
