2. I'm a little confused whether block-linking is supposed to work right now or not. (I know block transcluding is not working yet.) If it is, can someone walk me throught the steps, because it doesn't seem to work for me.

3. I also don't really understand the new "Paste file" command. I just read the updated docs. So I have to manually copy a file into my assets folder, then in the VS Code explorer copy its relative path, then in my editor I do

cmd-shift-p paste file

and then paste the path into the prompt? At that point the command seems to be harder to use then just copying file into assets and in the editor typing

[]()

and finding the file in the (can't remember name of VS Code widget) thing that pops up.

Yup, correct - it's hidden behind a feature flag. https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/f83c1d87-eac0-48f3-a5cf-8a69989d8ec1.html#enablewebui

I've struggeled with this initially. What works for me is find file in its folder, shift/right click (windows), copy as file path, open paste file command in Dendron, paste the link from the clipboard, you then have to remove " at both ends of the pasted link, enter. The file is then copied to assets and a link is made in the note. To open the link you have to use the open link command. What I've noticed is in preview if the file name is a single word this renders as expected if the file name is more complex you get the the full link i.e [xxx](xxxx yyy. pdf). Hope this helps I'm a total (none coding) novice so there may well be a smrter way to do this.

Try putting

^my-block

at the end of a line, or on a line by itself. "my-block" part can contain letters, digits, and dashes. Next, add a link like

[[note-name#^my-block]]

. When you use this link, it should take you to that block anchor. Let me know if that's not working and I can help diagnose the issue.

Good to know, thanks.

Thank you, I'll give that go.

Ah, so part of my problem is that I'm on macOS. There is no copy path command in the Finder.

A nice behaviour of the "Paste Image" command is that when it copies the file to assets it kebab-cases the file name and prepends the date. A lot fo the PDFs I work with have spaces in their names and I'd like those changed when they are copies into assets.

Try one of these options https://www.switchingtomac.com/tutorials/osx/5-ways-to-reveal-the-path-of-a-file-on-macos/#:~:text=To%20see%20it%20for%20yourself,your%20file%20is%20located%20in.

Thanks @User I'll take a look!

That is indeed working, although there is no autocompletion for the block reference yet but I assume that is just something you haven't gotten to yet. Should we also be able to link to sections (without adding a

^my-block

marker)?

Yes, autocomplete and overall better integration are in development and will be coming soon. You can't link without the anchor, but we are planning on developing support to select a block and have Dendron automatically insert the anchor for you. You can also link to headers like

## My Header

using

[[note-name#my-header]]

if that's what you mean by section.

Yes, that was what I meant by headers. I didn't realise you could kebab-case an existing header name and it would just work.

Yep, works great. Once auto-complete is working this will of course be much more discoverable. As it was I did look in the docs but I hadn't figured this out.

So regarding the "Paste File" command ... thanks @User having used Macs for more than twenty years I have only today discovered that holding down

alt

when right-clicking allows you to copy a file's path name in the Finder. Now Dendron's paste file works really well. Great. But there is a problem if the file name has spaces in it, the markdown is displayed directly in the preview pane. I think the Paste File command should emulate the behviour of Paste Image and kebab-case the filename and prepend the date. I can open a ticket if you agree.

I think that would be best, raised it earlier here https://discord.com/channels/717965437182410783/735365126227493004/846756260938121237 but I haven't raised a ticket

@User heads up that we fixed the markdown import pod issue in 0.43.1 (just released)

just pushed 0.43.1 which should fix this issue

Thank you for the flag btw, we've been trying to be more transparent/clear with our backlog for a while now. Documented it here: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/06751374-7982-4df2-b30b-92b10aba733a.html (There's a section at the bottom specifically about the CROP 🙂

Hi. Ive just encountered a glitch when searching for smt in the wiki dendron on safari ios 14. When starting to type in the search field, the search box will disappear. Has anyone reported this issue?

nope, a bug report would be most appreciated 🙏

Done. Hope it helps 🍻 https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/771

@User - I think this one might interest you 😉

Thanks for the heads up!

One issue I'm occasionally running into: When I run a refactor, the tree view doesn't reload until I close and reopen VS code.

That happens for me also quite regularly but I found that calling

Dendron reload index

fixes this without closing VSCode

nice, I wasn't aware of that command
