Hi guys, i am new to VSCode and just installed dendron as I want to use VScode as a note taking app. In the tutorial, there is treeview and backlinks but I do not have it on my interface. How do I turn it on? (Number 5 & 6)

Hello @denicecjy , welcome to the community. We need to update the tutorial to include the new

Dendron Side Panel

. The views associated with Dendron(tree-view, backlinks etc) are now available in the Dendron side panel

I see, thank you! 🙂

Guys, given VSCode is our primary platform here, you should note that on the Insider's build they're making the UX significantly dumber by being unable to click the menu at edge of the screen. The first response was:

Is there a justification that would require these options be selectable at the top of the window?

Don't let stupid decisions like this completely change our muscle-memory because of a tiny dumb aesthetic: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/150170

Hello! I've used Dendron since summer 2021, but still haven't done any customizations. Nowadays I am trying to customize Dendron a bit. I can not recognize how to set a custom title in template. For example, if we have file, named like `meeting.2022.05.27 - how to set as title "Meeting 2022-05-27", mixing some metadata from template, scheme or filename?

You can't customize the title like that with templates, but you could use hooks to do it. Here's the quickstart guide: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/070f5adf-3ea3-4e83-b468-75d1b4b6094a/ In your case, I think you'd want to do

note.title = "Meeting " + note.title

in the hook script.

Thank you! I'll try to use hooks. May be you know, have developers any plans to improve Dendron's template functionality?

We're adding Handlebars (https://handlebarsjs.com/) for templating support which allows much more powerful templates. Did you have anything specific in mind?

Hey how does one use the code-snippet?

you mean enclose code in a fenced block? https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/ba97866b-889f-4ac6-86e7-bb2d97f6e376#fenced-code-block

No, Like i was watching [Brayn Jenks video]() in which at 1:11:00 he talks about code snippet and when I tried to do the same way I wasn't able to replicate it

you mean here?

Yes

After the template he goes on to explain the code snippets at 1:15:00

I've looked it up. WOW! It'll be great! But when?! :)

I think it will be available for the next release (May 31st)

Thx!

An another question - can I register a new note type, connected with it's own scheme, with it's own actions or improve the existing one? For example, I've already created a scheme for books (

book.*

, added new template file. But I also want to have new command - "Create new book note", similar with built-in ones. Is it possible? As for built-in note types, I've founded an UX bug: when you create meeting note - It's title is not '2022-05-28', as at journal note, but only '28'. By the way I've started thinking about template customization in connection with this problem. P.S. May be it is better to make my questions in the

questions

chat? 😀

I came here to find out how to change the title of meeting notes from a template.

right now, the way to unify this is using a note trait. see https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/bdZhT3nF8Yz3WDzKp7hqh for the meeting note - @jyeung can you look at that ☝️ ?

I'd like to get some wisdom from the community on managing tasks and projects, particularly across multiple different groups/organisations that use different platforms, as I sense that this is the kind of problem Dendron people might well know about. At the moment I'm really struggling to keep track of and prioritise across all of the different tools and platforms. I'm working with clients, collaborators and community members, I can't make everyone use a common tool, so there's stuff across Basecamp, Todoist, Asana, Github and others. I'd love to find something Dendron-like in this space, and there are a few candidates like todo.txt, org mode, SMOS, etc... but they all seem to lack important features. I'd also settle for something which just aggregated them all in a desktop (Windows or Linux) client. Any ideas?

are you looking for a program that everyone can use or that you can use to keep track of all the downstream tasks? and if its the latter, what functionality are you looking for?

The immediate problem is keeping track of my own tasks within and across the tools everyone else is using. Ideally, I'd like something that aggregates the tasks from all the different platforms into a range of views. A complete top-down overview, a "next task by project", mapping out dependencies, that kind of thing. And to be able to easily jump to the other tool if I need to do more involved stuff, and to automate/script things like well-known tasks, project structures, etc... But the really important part of this for me is maintaining links between the local interface and the remote service, as the costs of manual sync become rapidly untenable. All of the other features I've described are in extant products, but this last bit doesn't seem to be.

How are people handling one-off notes and little tidbits of information that have nothing to do with anything else in the workspace, but I want to note down nonetheless?

I've been doing

atoms.<>

but the

atoms

category has quickly become my largest one.

It has things like "to link a specific page in a pdf in chrome..." and a video link to a specific meme i reference often and "the fuel usage of a car is

L / km

=

m^3 / km

, so if you simplify you get

mm^2

and that's funny"
