I wonder if they all get imported a top-level node and start being separated out over time.

Will be intrigued to hear back from your convo.

I think that will be the move

Do people have an unfiled top level node? That seems to make sense to me. I'm reading an article at the mo, want to take notes on it but don't know where it goes. Maybe this belongs in #749641193322971238

for that i would recomend scratch notes which you later can refactor into more usable ones.

Looks perfect - from the docs, I see some of the configuration. Do you have a filled out schema for scratch notes? And is there a keyboard shortcut for "New Scratch Note" that you've set up?

https://www.dendron.so/notes/f9540bb6-7a5a-46db-ae7c-e1a606f28c73.html navigation here says there are

Journal Note

and

Scratch Note

type to create - these aren't in my navigation menu. Is there something I need to add?

Not 100% sure with what you call navigation menu. I do most of my shortcuts with the command window (on Mac that is cmd shift p) then I just type scratch or journal 🙂

There are shortcuts in the lookup menu for a new journal of scratch note. It should be there as default

Yeah, hitting "ctrl shift S" puts me in a 'lookup note' window and it defaults to a scratch title and "create new" option

To drag files into Dendron, open the workspace pane on the side to drag and drop. We currently recommend you only do this for non-markdown files that you want to link to inside your vaults.

yeah. a workspace is created when you initialize dendron or open a

.code-workspace

extension. clicking disable will disable dendron for the current workspace

to open a non-markdown file in dendron, you can highlight the url and use our

open link

command https://dendron.so/notes/3472226a-ff3c-432d-bf5d-10926f39f6c2.html#other-links

thanks for the issue. will add to our backlog 👍

pods are just a nodejs wrapper around an interface. will be releasing the ability to write custom pods soon. meanwhile, one thing you could do is to export org-roam to json and then import json into dendron 😅

Using

Show Note Graph

I notice a few notes shown as isolated without any connection even though they're part of a hierarchy. Anyone else seeing this? Any way for me to debug what causes this?

sometimes the note graph can become out of sync if you've done rename/refactor operations. if you do a

reload window

, does this still show up?

Yes it does. I'll check again tomorrow morning

are you able to dm me the names of the notes that are out of sync? one thing you can do is run

Dendron: Dump State

which will output all your notes + metadata into the logs. you can manually inspect the

parent/children

field

Sure will do tomorrow and also look at the dump.

Is there a way to make sure that the

Dendron: Show Preview

tab stays where i put it after I re-open/reload the window? Super annoying to have to re-open it AND re-position it each time.

Also, how do I use snippets without doing

CTRL P

>

Insert snippet

? Everything I type is trying to autocomplete to my Dendron hierarchy like

foo.bar

(and nothing else), so snippets never show up as i type. Guessing I have something that's conflicting, but not sure what it could be... ✅ I needed

"editor.suggest.showSnippets": true

per https://www.dendron.so/notes/9eca1992-7540-4d9d-97fb-328b27748b2c.html#issues -- it was disabled for

[markdown]

in particular. Very odd!

Also, is there a way to have a template use a snippet when the template is used to generate the file? I'd like to pre-fill a date upon creation. I'm guessing no and the solution is _wait for Frontmatter Variable Substition_: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/168

for the preview, there's an option for that: https://dendron.so/notes/692fa114-f798-467f-a0b9-3cccc327aa6f.html#always-show-preview-of-md-being-edited as for

showSnippets

, it was disabled when we were showing snippets by default. vscode comes with its own snippets for markdown which couldn't be disabled which is why it was set to false. new workspaces no longer have

quickSuggest

set to

true

for using snippet upon creation, it's very possible and vscode has an api for that. it was just a low priority item since i end up adding the snippet prefix to the template and doing a

tab complete

to expand it 😅

Awesome info, thanks! Created a PR to add a note about the preview pane: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron-site/pull/46

merged. like the use of relative links there 😉

I created a note outside of Dendron and published it to GIT. I then did a git pull and pulled the note into my Dendron hierarchy. It is missed the front end text - is there a way to make Dendron insert this? Answer: YES. Run Dendron: Doctor. Although a few errors popped up, they seemed to not affect my notes. I may have some notes that are a little wonky from the import from Obsidian and the bulk renaming and hierarchy refactoring I have done. My Dendron tree looks clean, but perhaps something is hiding.

Sorry not to be clear. I found I can add a Scratch note by clicking on the icon above the text input in "Lookup" but it doesn't otherwise exist in the Command Palette. Is there a keyboard driven way to create a Scratch note? Like

Lookup (Scratch)

for example.

cmd/ctrl+shift+s
