Yay, I see the update!

@User alright, so I've made some advancements to the problem from yesterday. I have found that every time you turn off the Cloudflare WARP VPN, localhost breaks. So you need to run the command to fix it every time, which is kind of annoying. I added that to the docs in a pull request, but I stepped it up and make an executable file (for mac) that, when executed, will run the command to fix it.

I have asked Cloudflare team to handle this issue, and I will also upload the executable to my GitHub.

Ok I uploaded to GitHub, here it is: https://github.com/Jminding/1.1.1.1-localhost-fix/releases/latest

I agree, the native OpenLink command should open any URI rather than just vscode://, http://, or https://... This functionality is already available in the vscode extension api fortunately. I recently submitted a PR so that

Dendron: OpenLink

would do the trick. The feature should be in the next release. ...I might post to the issue that you cited that this is a tentative workaround to native support.

Hey folks, With the current release of Dendron(v0.61), we have introduced the first iteration of Contextual UI(https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/VellOqHuzrUyzrWc0ajvg.html) for Delete/Rename/Move Note and Remove/Add a local or remote vault. More about this in : Commands (https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/eea2b078-1acc-4071-a14e-18299fc28f47.html). We are planning the next iteration of this in upcoming release and would love some feedback on this.

Hey peoples, @User messaged me about any features I would like so I am posting it here in case anyone else already built it. I would use is the ability to sync my pinboard.in bookmarks into Dendron. pinboard.in exports to JSON therefore it should by pretty strait forward to do but I have not got around to doing it.

When working with images, it is hard to find a reference to an image on a page, especially with automatic names. Can we have the textual reference highlighted/selected when an image is clicked/selected in previe and vice versa, maybe optionally? or some such technique. We also do need a way to delete an image once with all of its traces but this is already an issue, I think...

It also seems impossible to preview animated GIFs in v2, I made an issue for this here, this is quite a limitation unless I am missing something... https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/1444

> textual reference highlighted do you mean the alt tag?

? making sure i understand - your proposing that when we click an image on the preview, the image link in the editor gets highlighted? and thanks for the gif issue. @User were we able to repro this?

I work with images a lot and I wish there were treated as another kind of note with appropriate tools. At the moment, if you have a note with say 50 auto-pasted images, it is really hard to find them if you want to move them or add captions, etc. I can see them in preview but scrolling does not synchronize. In markdown, they have cryptic numbers for names. So, in keeping with Dendron's goal, i want them to be easy to retrieve, manipulate, refactor, all that. here, the idea was that if i see an image in preview, i should be able to locate it in the markdown text easily, and vice versa. so, i thought that selecting an image in preview could scroll to the position of its markdown reference and highlight it in sync. just for navigation. it might be possible to support this need in another way, this is just an idea. but at the moment this is very inconvenient. I am talking about these references to local images:

![](/assets/images/2021-09-28-12-08-12.png)

something in our backlog is to support images as

![[link]]

note references. at this point, images will have backlinks and support all note related properties. don't think we have an issue for this so feel free to create one for visibility

I would struggle to express it as a simple implementable issue, not sure I understand how it will work with the way you suggest. I have mentioned similar things in my notes on the support for the academic work and I can add to that.

Hi, just out of curiosity, is preview v2 an extension of the builtin markdown previewer or an entirely new implementation?

It's entirely new. It's based on our Next Publishing work.

Why did you decide going your own way?

We already have Dendron publishing, and VSCode allows us to use web views for the preview. By reusing the publishing code in the preview, the preview looks much closer to what you'll get when you publish. It also saves us from repeating ourselves for the publishing then again for the preview: when we add a new feature to publishing it's immediately available for the preview.

Ok, I see your point, thanks for the detailed answer.

Glad I could help!

Not sure if this is a great description but here goes. I am drowning in images and they are harder to find again than text so dendron's ideology should apply here 🤞 https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/1450

Not sure where to put this, but thought I'd ask: Is there supposed to be something in that gray box?

yes, an animation. is your js turned off by any chance?

Hmmm… the top one isn't visible for me either. But the lower trees are there and animated, so I think maybe something is missing?

hmm, what browser + version are you using?

The screenshot is Firefox 92, but I juuuust updated to 93.0 and it's still not showing. It's also not showing in Safari. All other the lower animations are visible in both. Only the first one isn't there.

I just dug around in the source code and can get https://assets.website-files.com/60f575ce343a495071f83206/6131c824d8749f1e193f4082_Hero_video_2-transcode.mp4 to display in both Firefox and Safari. So I think maybe there's just a comma or something similar messing up the link? @User

thanks for digging. outside right now but will look into this. is it also like this when you run in incognito mode?

It wasn't playing in private windows / incognito in either Safari or Firefox… but your question reminded me that I probably turned off video autoplay at some point in both. I just turned it back on in Safari (via "settings for this website" in the "Safari" menu) and the video showed up as soon as I reloaded the page. So it's just my settings, nothing broken! Maybe there's a way to make a placeholder png or jpg?
