got it. the copy link modifier is meant to be used as an action so that when you have notes highlighted/selected, using copy link will copy the links

that being said, totally get your use case. if you submit a feature request, i can squeeze it in to the november milestones

i'll let you prioritize other stuff first, i'm not sure how much i'll be using dendron yet 🙂 but thanks for offering regardless!

It's not currently possible to contribute to dendron development in a language other than JS, right?

What the purpose of the .ionide folder in the vault folder? Or is it an artifact of some half understood extension I've activated?

Okay, Ionide seems to be an extension for working with F#, not sure why it is injecting itself into dendron vaults

@User Actually, dendron's functionality is mainly in Dendron's bundled into a local express server which talks to the dendron plugin over REST This means that its possible to build on Dendron in any language as long as it speaks http. We haven't exposed this yet because we're still working on stabilizing the API. Pods (https://dendron.so/notes/66727a39-d0a7-449b-a10d-f6c438185d7f.html) will probably be the first part to go multi-language. We are also planning on adding a middleware layer in the future that plugin authors can use to develop plugins for Dendron in any language! architecture -> https://dendron.so/notes/c160ddce-edec-4f6e-841b-418d6030fa37.html#architecture let me know if you have anything specific in mind when it comes to development 🙂

@User i suspect thats being added because dendron registers a vault as a vscode workspace folder and i'm guessing the f# plugin injects that file into all workspace folders

It seems that autocomplete breaks when I try to autocomplete a "labelled" wikilink - e.g.

[[foo.b]]

autocompletes to

[[foo.bar]]

correctly upon pressing Ctrl+Space, but

[[FooBar|foo.b]]

doesn't - is this worth a bug report?

I hit the

Template

button on dendron-site as this holds the notes that are used to generate the Dendron.so site and I'm kicking around a few changes/additions to this documentation.

Templates

are a new github thing to me, I'm still working on wrapping my mind around them. Reading the github documentation on them they seem to be of two minds on them, on the one hand, they seemed to be a light weight forking mechanism, on the other, for when you are more into using the solution the repo provides for your own work. I used this for my description for the template pushing the button placed on my github account:

source for dendron.so site (documents the use and commands of Dendron), can also be "emptied" & serve personal usage.

Am I right about this? Could I empty out the vault, git clone it locally, and open it in vscode, put my notes on markdown it, develop them further periodically commiting changes locally and to github? Further, does the "extra" machinery in the repo support publishing to a gist or web site from github itself, without setting up ruby, jeklly, ... on your own machine?

> @User i suspect thats being added because dendron registers a vault as a vscode workspace folder and i'm guessing the f# plugin injects that file into all workspace folders @User I think you've nailed it, disabling for now

i am looking for app which shows visualization(in graph/map) of all bullet points listed in a note. Normally, all note-taking tools, i came across shows graph of interconnected notes only. any recommendations?

I guess tiddlyroam can do it, but not sure how

There's no way to use schema values in templates yet, correct? Pseudocode example:

- id: year
  pattern: "[0-2][0-9][0-9][0-9]"
- id: month
  pattern: "[0-9][0-9]"
- id: day
  pattern: "[0-9][0-9]"

...

((ref:[[work.journal.__year__.__month__.__day__]]#Tasks:*))

not yet but we do have an issue for it :) https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/168

Is there a way to generate a new ID for a note? i copied/reworked a note and need a new ID 👼

@User delete the id and run "Dendron: Doctor"?

Is there a way to automatically delete or at least find unlinked assets?

Okay is their a way for the Graph view to show all links? and not only the schema links?

> Is there a way to automatically delete or at least find unlinked assets? @User not yet. but it would be a great first issue. would probably add it as an option under

Dendron: Doctor

😇

> Okay is their a way for the Graph view to show all links? and not only the schema links? @User we have an open issue and plans for that. timeline is tbd just because our backlog is quite full. if anyone is interested in taking it on, happy to show what files need to be changed. otherwise, this might be a early 2021 item

I am trying to figure out schema's and templates. I would like a template for the control+shift+i daily note template. I created a daily.schema.yml file, in the file is the following content:

- id: daily
  parent: root
  children:
    - journal
- id: journal
  namespace: true
  template:
    id: daily.template

I have a file called daily.template.md that is a standard Dendron note with a couple of sections:

---
id: 1658e8ac-3277-481a-9597-e872d770802b
title: Template
desc: ''
updated: 1605661004930
created: 1605660948271
---

# Meetings

# Management Journal

# Other

But - when I create a new note with control+shift+i the template is ignored. I did a Dendron:Reload without any errors.

hey @User how are your journal notes structured? by default, journal notes are created using

daily.journal.{yyyy.mm.dd}

format. if that's how yours are, you would need something like the below to match the notes

version: 1
schemas:
- id: daily
  title: daily
  desc: ""
  parent: root
  children:
    - journal
- id: journal
  title: journal
  desc: ""
  parent: root
  children:
    - year
- id: year
  title: year
  pattern: "[0-2][0-9][0-9][0-9]"
  children: 
    - month
- id: month
  title: month
  pattern: "[0-9][0-9]"
  children: 
    - day
- id: day
  title: day
  pattern: "[0-9][0-9]"
  namespace: true
  template:
    id: daily.template.journal
    type: note

@User Thank you! I am looking forward to giving this solution a shot!

Really enjoying Dendron and trying to get myself more organised. Is there a way to have a link in a note to a file or directory that is not in the Dendron vault? I have tried adding the full path to a local file link and using Dendron: Open Link but seems to want the file to be in the vault.

I have the same question. Coming from Obsidian I have "folders" for Work, Personal, Book Reviews, etc. I then have .md files in each folder. In Dendron I have a "vault" which was the default vault, and I created a WORK vault. Some behavior I have noticed is when I create a daily note with the shortcut it always goes into the default vault - can you force it into a "Daily" vault? And as @User asks - can I link notes between notes that are in different vaults?

Another question - folders. I've read about the dot system - work.topic.topic etc. I haveTRIED to add folders anyway - in order to keep the file tree "clean" - but I guess the solution is to collapse the workspace tree and just use the Dendron Tree View?

@User > Is there a way to have a link in a note to a file or directory that is not in the Dendron vault? open link should work with arbitrary file paths. if the file isn't in dendron, you might have to use the absolute path. you also need to highlight the entire link (this isn't the smoothest ux - we'll make this easier to use in the future)

@User mutli vault was just released last week and we're currently working on bringing it to feature parity. most methods right now are vault dependent (eg. it will create a note in the same vault of your currently active note). as for linking between vaults - all notes in all notes are merged into a logical hierarchy that you can query using lookup and traverse using links (the latter is coming in next week's release)
