if you don't mind links breaking, you can use the

rename

command to do it in bulk https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-rename-files-in-linux/#renaming-files-with-the-rename-command

Thanks, yes, I realize that. And I will probably do it with a rename + a regex replace in the notes files to also maintain the links.

The pattern

daily.journal.[et cetera]

clearly cannot refer to anything else in my notes, so a regex find and replace feels safe.

haha, fair enough

I try the import markdown pod but seem to make some stupid mistake. Here is what I do

call

Dendron: Import Pod

A config.import.yml file opens telling me to create a configuration

I enter the parent directory of the notes I want to import as value for src and save

I run Import Pod again choosing markdown

Then nothing happens and nothing gets imported as far as I can see

the markdown pod is very finicky on import 😅 it can fail if there are weird characters in the filename and I think if you end the folder with a

/

. i'm doing an update to it for next for it to behave better

. i'm doing an update to it for next for it to behave better @User I tried adding a

/

with no effect. I just tried the JSON Import which fails but at least provides an error message

"c:\\Users\\\\Downloads\\notes\\: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, read"

oh yeah --> json import is meant to be used with a single json file

see the format when you run json export

really getting into dendron now. really nice stuff.. i have a few questions though, and i think i just a pointer in the right direction - mobile support? git journal is mentioned, but this means i have to set it up with git - how do i go about doing this?

or maybe, my question is more, how have other people gone about this? you have a private server for your git repo for the notes?

which leads me to another question; encryption? possible somehow?

Im somewhat confused at the concept of a vault, the quick-start guide says dendron by default searches all vaults. But it doesn't talk about how to create a vault, or why you would want too. It seems like creating many vaults would be counterproductive to the dendron motif. Can anybody give some clairty?

Others may enlighten me but as far as I know it's just a name for the root folder and nothing else Support for multiple vaults is still on the roadmap only so for now it will be one vault. That in turn is simply the root folder where your notes live. If you start Dendron for the first time it will create a workspace and said vault in it. Does that help?

@User see here for mobile support: https://dendron.so/notes/401c5889-20ae-4b3a-8468-269def4b4865.html#mobile-support

as for encryption we have an issue open for it: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/120

@User Thank you, dont know why i had such trouble looking for that

if I want to use the Markdown Preview Enhanced VS Code extension separately from Dendron, can I uninstall Dendron Markdown Preview Enhanced so I don't have two copies of the settings, keyboard shortcuts, etc.? Is Dendron Markdown Preview Enhanced just a clone or a fork or something?

or can I just use Dendron's copy and I don't need to also install MPE for non-Dendron use? the whole concept of publishing a fork of an extension under a different name (but with the same global identifiers) is weird to me. but if I understand what's going on I'll feel better

@User dendron mpe is a fork. we made some additions to the preview like note references. it should be wholly compatible with mpe and we do a monthly sync upstream. mostly left the old code alone which is why configuration is in the same namespace

ok thx. I'll just use Dendron MPE then

👍

I'm really interested in doing literate programming somehow, without too much fuss. I'm going to try putting markdown in comments (in my TypeScript code) and using a pre-parse hook in MPE to strip everything besides the comments. So basically, I'll run MPE on .ts files 🙂 the only problem I seem to be already running into is that MPE behavior is behind checks that the buffer language is markdown. I changed the keyboard shortcut configuration but I'm not getting scroll sync for example in non-md files. Not sure if you have any suggestions or other ways to achieve this. I don't want to mess with the TS toolchain or run a doc tool with a file watcher at the moment, I just want to enjoy VS code preview pane functionality
