When publishing a site, is it possible to have a file name in the URL instead of an UUID slug? Idk, but it looks ugly while sharing and also, it might not be SEO friendly either?

Not yet, but definitely something we want to work on (feel free to upvote this one): https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/620

Thanks for looking into it! It doesn't redirect to some broken url any more, but the links in preview are throwing another error now. The preview opens, but I still can't navigate through backlinks in the preview. Not sure why, files should be untouched since it last worked. Tree view looks fine, folder looks fine, file contents look fine... Any ideas what might be wrong?

Unsure if I am shoe-horning this (as I am super excited about Dendron :D), will this be a good tool to manage bookmarks? I was thinking to create a new schema, schema template to add the link, some more context and add tags to it. Has anyone done something similar in their workflow?

currently use notion to do bookmarks because of their webclipper 😅 planning on writing a notion pod (https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/66727a39-d0a7-449b-a10d-f6c438185d7f.html) to sync it with Dendron

Yeah, the current full graph is definitely a bit of spaghetti 😅 it's the first step in recreating the current note graph. In the future, we're going to support a local graph with the ability to visualize connections to the current open note which you may find more useful

yes... prior to this v2 of graph, I had been noticing that backlinks were incomplete... a spot check a a couple just now and it seems to match my notes... for me, as long as I have tree view, Ctrl+L, & backlinks I won't use the graph that much... especially that my VSCode goes to "not responding" for several seconds while it generates the graph (and I have 32GB RAM & an i5 CPU, so it shouldn't be for lack of hardware)

either way, I'm not getting rid of this keybinding anytime soon, so I can search for tag references 🙂

Copy code

{
        "key": "ctrl+shift+alt+g",
        "command": "workbench.action.findInFiles",
        "args": {
            "query": "tag.",
            "replace": "",
            "preserveCase": false,
            "triggerSearch": true,
            "filesToInclude": "*.md",
            "filesToExclude": "",
            "isRegex": false,
            "isCaseSensitive": false,
            "matchWholeWord": false,
            "useExcludeSettingsAndIgnoreFiles": true
        }
    },

Is there a way to use

Refactor Hierarchy

to remove a hierarchy tier? Example: I have a bunch of notes like

todos.2021.06.14.114540.md

and I'd like to refactor them to remove the time part of that time stamp (

in this case). I couldn't get JS special replacement patterns to work. Example: I tried

todos.2021.(\d+).(\d+).

and

todos.2021.$1.$2

. The

$1

replaced as itself instead of the matched contents of

(\d+)

. It looks like this command is using a plain JS regexp under the hood: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/blob/master/packages/plugin-core/src/commands/RefactorHierarchyV2.ts#L122 Am I missing something in my setup?

How to paste text with links and formatting into VS Code like Obsidian? Check the video where I'm copying text from Chrome and pasting into VS Code and Obsidian

I think there are some extensions that can help you with that. I just did a quick search and found this one: Name: Markdown Paste Id: telesoho.vscode-markdown-paste-image Description: A smartly paste for markdown. Version: 0.12.3 Publisher: telesoho VS Marketplace Link: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=telesoho.vscode-markdown-paste-image Please note that I haven't tried it myself and it may conflict with Dendron's own paste image extension.

hi, for publishing notes: after npm init -y, this command npm install @dendronhq/dendron-cli@latest is giving the following error : npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for @dendronhq/dendron-11ty@^0.45.2.

The extension didn't work in mac OS

Copy code

If you paste a rich text, it will try to convert the rich text to Markdown.(Linux only)

just noticed note IDs are no longer GUIDs... I don't remember seeing that in the release notes, but I like it, even though it means my "new GUID" keyboard shortcut now creates inconsistent IDs 🙂

Which version are you using ? I have 0.45.2 I don't see any change

user

0.45.2 ... last 2 notes I created with Dendron have YouTube style IDs (I don't know what they're actually called)...

Oh. New notes. I see. I think they are called NanoIDs - it was mentioned in one of the github issue or office hours notes (or both) https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/620#issuecomment-818819425

user

06/14/2021, 1:55 PM

OK cool... there's a VSCode extension for that

vk-l.nanoid-generator

although oddly only 1 instead of a bunch... but if it works, don't fix it! (except, of course, if you're refactoring to reduce tech debt 🙂 )

I see the documentation for journal pages and scratch pages, but only a command for making journal pages, not scratch pages?

Hey @User , I saw you have a "Subscribe to the newsletter" Form on your homepage - how'd you add that! Just curious

Hi, so facing two issues - 1. Scratch is giving some kind of error when built - showing 404.

I feel like someone was talking about automating a kindle highlight import but I can't find it in any of my searches.

hmm, can you share your
