It would be clever to reverse engineer a schema from a series of notes. Might require some manual tweaking but shouldn't be too hard to parse, sort, infer and present a possible schema.

well if their is no pattern to the schema its pretty easy just take all the notes in a hirachy and check witch is the most used that has no schema yet.

I was thinking to make it easy to on-board folks - I have been using Dendron for a while and I just now figured out the current limitations and how to make it work, for me. It was just an idea to help with on-boarding - not something critical.

Yeah, i Figure its quite useful if you import something that is structured in folders to well recommend a schema that represents the previous folder structure. And yes for onbording it seems quite nice.

@User hi! I discovered, that dendron doesn't copy comments in yaml section after create new note based on template. I think, it is logical. But by my opinion, comments could be useful for something like for reminds what field is used for. What do you think?

ah, got it. yeah, dendron doesn't copy over comments because our yaml parser doesn't parse comments. for now, i would say a workaround is to add a field called comments and leave your comments there

Hello guys. I discovered Drendon yesterday. I am reading the tutorials and I assume that I will be able to learn its use. However, I have a question: 1. Why are the new vaults that I create in my workspace not shown in the tree view? 2. Likewise, why manually created notes (right click on vault and "new file") are not supported in the tree view either?

Does Drendon work with only one vault per workspace?

@User do they show in the tree view after you do the command "Dendron: Reload Index"?

Regarding 2: Dendron relies on some frontmatter to recognize notes. You should rather use Ctrl+L to bring up the lookup field and create notes from there. This will make sure all relevant data are present

I've seen just that. If I create a note manually (without Ctrl - L), this note does not adopt metadata.

Exactly this can be fixed by running

Dendron: Doctor

. I use this quite a lot for notes I created outside of Dendron

Yes, you can create a note manually (or drag into the appropriate location in file system) and doctor it, but for new notes the best way is to use the lookup (ctrl+L).

And regarding your question on number of vaults. There can be more than one vault in a workspace (I have 3). Again to show in the tree view the notes need to be correctlx formatted. Running the doctor should fix this. How did you create the vaults?

Here you can see what I mean. The vault "new-vault" is not shown in the tree view. Only the default vault is shown.

I will read and implement your suggestions 🙂

Does 'new-vault' contain any notes? It needs to have a root.md file. It gets added during creating via

Dendron: Vault Add

Create the new vault by right clicking on the workspace section and "Add a folder ..."

Is it the wrong way?

Then Dendron doesn't know about it. Try the command Vault Add instead

Among other things I don't know it adds the folder to the Dendron config file dendron.yml

By doing that I have gotten vaults and files absolutely empty of metadata and divorced from the tree view. Well, I will play with the options they have given me and give feedback later.

PD: I have come across Dendron looking for a solution to the impossibility of nesting between Obsidian notes.

As I said this creates folders Dendron doesn't know about and therefore doesn't show. Try the vault add command

I tried Obsidian only once and didn't get it to work so I can't help with that. What do you mean by nesting notes?

The tree scheme that Obsidian offers is all about notes within folders. That is, if you want to create deep structure you must create folders. Do not "tabulate" notes within other notes. Similarly, folders do not support entering information, they are containers. An example: note1.md note2.md [Folder] - [Sub-folder 1] researchnotes.md greatnote.md - [Sub-folder 2] canada.md usa.md

You can not do this: food.md fruits.md apple.md mango.md kiwi.md meats.md

I really don't know if it's impossible. I've just been looking for something that does.

Apparently Dendron does it in a certain way! With taxonomy of "." in file titles. That makes me happy. PD: Sorry for long paragraphs.
