there's a bunch of people who use the Obsidian app with Dendron notebases on mobile. GitJournal also comes up a lot. There was a blog post about this a while back that looked at a bunch of other alternatives: https://blog.dendron.so/notes/fDCVPEo3guCFWPdxokXHU/

I'm on iOS, too. Lately I've been using 1Writer. It doesn't have all the refinements of a code editor, but it's the app I've tried that work best with

[[double bracket style wikilinks]]

. You can also extend it with Javascript actions, like "jump to markdown header". There's an [Actions Directory](https://1writerapp.com/actiondir/) or you can write your own.

Does Dendron always require two instances of VS Code to run? In this case, the left one is the editor window with the Dendron tutorial, and the right seems to be some background process for Dendron. If I force quit the one on the right, the editor shows an error about the extension host being terminated.

nope - just one. do you have two versions of vscode installed?

Only one. If I run

code ~/Dendron/vault

, the extension activates and spawns that other VS Code instance.

Dendron does create a background process, but it shouldn't show up like that. Which OS is this? And is this with the latest VSCode and Dendron?

macOS 11.6.2 (Intel) VS Code 1.63.2 (Universal) dendron v0.76.0

Also if I invoke VS Code from the command line like

code ~/Dendron/vault

and then try to show the node graph, I get the attached error. Do I have to manually initiate a workspace myself somehow?

Ah, you should actually target the workspace and not the vault. Try

code ~/Dendron

instead please. Or

code ~/Dendron/dendron.code-workspace

Ah, okay that worked. I still have the two VS Code icons in my dock though. 🤔

One is running:

/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron .

The other is:

/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron --ms-enable-electron-run-as-node --inspect-port=0 /Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/bootstrap-fork --type=extensionHost --skipWorkspaceStorageLock

Demo:

do you still get this if you open the dendron.code-workspace file from inside the original vscode? (not using the cli)

Yep!

strange - you’re the first person to report this. doing some release work right now but will spend more time digging into this tomorrow!

On the bright side it doesn’t break anything or prevent me from working. It was just an oddity I noticed. Later today I’ll try it on my Windows PC and see what happens there!

I've been getting this error recently error while running command: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\c:\Users\AdamG\Desktop\Knowledge\vault\math.calculus.multivariable.md' how could I remove the extra c:?

We have a fix for that which is included with the next release tomorrow. There is no workaround otherwise at this time, sorry!

Also one other thing that may be related, my photos have stoped appearing in the note preview even though the hyperlink links to the image

Sorry if this is a question that's answered in the installation notes or documentation, but I'm having a hard time understanding how to incorporate Dendron into a current workspace to take notes while I'm coding. Everything seems like it installed fine, and when I'm in the Dendron workspace I can create new notes etc, but when I go back to any other workspace I can't seem to add a note.

Dendron only works if it is added to the current workspace. If you would like to take notes across multiple workspaces, I'd recommend creating a workspace just for your notes and keeping it open in a separate VSCode window.

You also might be able to do something by adding symbolic links to each workspace, but I've never tried it myself.

Oh awesome, thanks for your help.

I need some help understanding what I need to do to publish a vault that I was previously able to preview when Dendron was using 11ty. I ran

npm install @dendronhq/dendron-cli@latest

and then

npx dendron buildSite v2 --stage dev --serve

which is what I had used to preview the site in the past. I then realized I needed to run

npx dendron publish init

as described [here](https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/e5st4LFLtIwwbQmC6JBaF/) At this point I run into errors and I'm not sure what I need to so to resolve them. The error message is too long to include here as text, so I'll attach it.

Is there a way to paste GIFs using the dendron paste image package or do I need to manually save the file in assets and put in the link?

Also, there's a difference between tags in the preview Vs the published, is there a way to add some CSS to get the tag shown in the published, or can I add some custom CSS when publishing? I thought there was a way but I cant find what config it is...

Anyone know of a shortcut to toggle a todo as done - [x] from anywhere on the same line?

If you download the todo+ extension it offers this functionality

great thanks

Is there a list of recommended extensions to use with dendron?
