yeah, great point. i'll add that to my backlog. in the meanwhile, vscode lets you disable extensions on a per workspace basis so i would recommend doing that for now

Would you point me in the right direction regarding using schema templates? I havent yet been able to get them to work. I have used the reload index command, as I far as know Im using correct path to template but not entirely sure. Ive made due with snippets when writing journal entries but learning how to use templates correctly would be nice.

for schema templates, the common issue (and its one that i also run into) is that they need to be a yml dictionary instead of a list

this is what you want

yml
- id: journal
  title: journal
  desc: ""
  parent: root
  children: 
    - daily
- id : daily
  namespace: true
  template:
    id: journal.template.daily
    type: note

this will not work

- id: journal
  title: journal
  desc: ""
  parent: root
  children: 
    - daily
- id : daily
  namespace: true
  template:
    - id: journal.template.daily
      type: note

I tried to copy the format here. Im still getting a blank page after reloading index.

these are the dendron settings, dont know if changed anything here

i see what the issue is

the example schema you have on the right will match the following

journal.2020.08.12

daily.journal

doesn't match it

you will want to change it to something like this

yml
version: 1
schemas:
- id: daily
  parent: root
  children:
    - journal
- id: journal
  desc: ""
  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: journal.template.daily
    type: note

oh! okay I think i'm getting it. I'll give that a shot.

Woo, success! Thanks man!

I appreciate all your work. Cant wait to see what you do next.

👍

lots more coming. if everything goes right, i'll have some big announcements next week so stay tuned 😉

I will! 🙂

fyi a stray html tag is showing up on dendron.so website

I wanted to try out dendron but I'm afraid of messing up my existing workspace). If I follow the install instructions will it do anything to my existing workspace or just create a new one? Should I maybe close my workspace first? Will I be able to have both open at the same time? Not an experienced vscode user here))).

oops, will fix that

and no, dendron does nothing by default. once you install it, it will ask you to initialize a new workspace. you can use that initially to play around with the tutorial notes

can markdown preview use dark theme?

also how do I go back after clicking a link in preview?)

> can markdown preview use dark theme? @User you can customize the css https://shd101wyy.github.io/markdown-preview-enhanced/#/

for going back, you can use ‘ctrl-tab’ or ‘crtrl-^’

now I closed the preview accidentally and can't get it back 😅 I'm beginning to see value in an onboarding session)) If only the slots weren't all 1am to 5am for me) Going to sleep now)

‘cmd/ctrl shift p’ to bring it back up

as for time slots, just updated them to have wider ranges on tuesdays and thursday. check if any of those times will work instead 🙂

thanks for the extra time slots, there are now some sensible times like 8 or 9 pm. I'll see what I can fit into my schedule. A timezone delta of 11 hours is nothing to sneeze at)). There is something magical about talking to someone on the other side of the planet!

I'm having some hard times with the lookup; initially I wasn't able to get it working properly, then with some tweaking of schemas it started to work. Now with some drastic schema changes it stopped working again, so decided to remove all schemas to see if it would be able to find just the plain note hierarchy. Currently with no schemas and ~50 notes with dot separated names, the lookup only shows the "root nodes", but loses even them when trying to type something into it.

The new dendron tree view finds all notes; however if I try to double click any of them to open the note, nothing happens
