Is there a way to tell vscode to fold all headers when opening a file?

Autofolding isnt supported natively but there is an extension that lets you do it.

oh ok which one do you recommend?

This is the extension I was missing -

I use a original anchor system to anchor things that are automatically sorted I prefix lists with , ,; ,' ;, ;; ;' ', '; ''. to place them in ordinal order. The order is preserved in Windows, Unix, and S3 filesystems.

I want to make changes to a few of the schemas and templates that I've been using. Is there a guide anywhere that recommends the order in which to make these changes? For instance, should I change & rename each template file, then change the related

schema.yml

file, then run particular commands, etc? Should I start with schemas, then change the templates? I don't see a guide like that in the wiki / documentation, but maybe I'm using the wrong search terms.

we don't have a guide for that. you should be able to do it in any order - the current "template should exist before" is a bug that needs to fix. for the meanwhile, I would just create the new templates, rename the schemas, and then delete the old templates

Great, thanks for the quick answer Kevin! I'm planning to keep the current templates and schema names—I'll basically just remove a level from each schema. (i.e. I want to make

book.{title}

apply the current template, instead of

book.{title}.notes

, which in practice is making a lot of stubs I'm not finding useful.) Should it be fine if I just change each

schema.yml

file & then reload the VS Code window?

yep

Turns out that what I actually want is to have

book.{author-name}.{book-title}

apply the template… but my attempts at writing a schema for that aren't making it happen. Is it possible for a schema to have two levels that are namespaces (i.e. they don't require a particular pattern) and still apply a template? If that's possible, can you share how to set up a

schema.yaml

to make that happen? For example, I'd like to have the same template applied when I use the lookup bar to create notes with the titles

book.carroll-ryder.bullet-journal-method

and

book.bedford-denise.knowledge-architectures

, even though those notes don't share a particular pattern of characters in their name.

Is there a way to consolidate all my [[todo]] from multiple daily journals into one file dynamically? I tend to just go to [[todo]] page and use the backlinks but it would be great to somehow see them all in a line by line basis in one file similar to how references works on sections

I see that on Windows often... what I do is wait about 15-20 seconds after I see the toast that Dendron is active before I open enhanced preview

In this case even waiting a few minutes doesn't work. Kevin is investigating and will add more logging to debug this issue in the next days. 🙏

yes, you can use the

pattern

field.

yml
version: 1
imports: []
schemas:
  - id: book
    parent: root
    children: 
      - bookEntry
  - id: bookEntry
    template: 
      id: templates.one
      type: note
    pattern: "*"
    children:
      - bookEntryTwo
  - id: bookEntryTwo
    template: 
      id: templates.two
      type: note
    pattern: "*"

how do you currently structure your todos? if you do

[[todo.foo-bar]]

, you could consolidate all of them when we add the index note feature: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/603

yeah, apologies about the preview and will be updating that part soon!

I just installed 0.36.1 and it seems Cmd+Click on links formatted like [[Monday|daily.journal.2021.04.05]] are creating new files like

Monday|daily.journal.2021.04.05.md

rather than linking. Is this happened for others?

I saw the note in #737323300967022732 but wasn't sure if I needed to update anything on my end to use the new command.

This is interesting. Here was my approach. I have a

go

binary that is doing the filling though. However native functionality would be awesome.

<!-- 
autolinks: thoughts.*|daily.journal.*
title: true
-->
- [[2021-04-02|daily.journal.2021.04.02]]
- [[2021-04-04|daily.journal.2021.04.04]]
- [[2021|daily.journal.2021]]
- [[Journal|daily.journal]]
- [[Template|daily.journal.template]]
- [[Art and Expression|thoughts.art-and-expression]]
<!-- end -->

How do I create daily-journals per topic? For example I'd like to create "art.2021.04.05.md" with a shortcut either assigned to "art" or more generically when I am on "art.md"? (while still retaining daily.journal.* shortcut)

See this article on configuration for special notes: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/5c213aa6-e4ba-49e8-85c5-1bdcb33ce202.html#configuration

I think you'll want

childOfDomainNamespace

for the node type add behavior - https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/5c213aa6-e4ba-49e8-85c5-1bdcb33ce202.html#defaultnodetypeaddbehavior

@User Is there a way I can accomplish it with a shortcut without having to click on "Create Journal note" in the lookup view?

Yeah it’s Ctrl+shift+J

Perhaps I am doing something wrong but ctrl+shift+j doesn't seem to do anything. (I am on a mac btw)

Whoops, in that case cmd +Shift+J

That opens the terminal. Do I need to remap it ?

(I don't have any vscode customizations)

Oh I see ... I may have customized my own 🙂 Try Cmd + Shift + I. Otherwise, to be sure, you can create your own shortcut (just look for

Dendron: Create Daily Journal Note

in keyboard shortcuts

Cmd+Shift+I

-> jumps to

daily.journal.2021.04.05.md

even though I am on

art.md
