I think its a (mental) workflow change to use Dendron Lookup Note to navigate the hierarchy vs. the mouse-centric mode of clicking through "folders" to find the right level

Controversial(?) follow up question...Could the hierarchical dot notation be translated to a folder-like view? OR Could the VS Code Explorer serve a better function within Dendron?

Isn't that what the tree view does? It is kinda tucked away at the corner right now, but we're planning on making a "Dendron Container" where it can replace the file view

Bingo! I totally missed that feature!

I forgot about the tree view

That ties everything up actually

Is this what you're looking for? : https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/W5bX7FK5WujZms84ZMcyU/ Not sure if it's up to date, tbh

Separating the folder for each type of hierarchy is my experience. As u said, since all notes are plain text files, it depends how each app parses the content 🙂

Thanks, but yeah that's what I was already referencing. Is --podId an internal dendron id or can i pass the podId from the conf.{my-pod-id}.yml file?

seems to be a lot more params available on dendron exportPod than in note linked

oh I see

I haven't messed around much with the v2 pods

Judging by this: https://docs.dendron.so/notes/rXSP43bX1Iyg8mVoEgM4L/ yeah, it should be the id that you set in

conf.{my-pod-id}.yml

okay, I'll need to have more of a play with fresh eyes tomorrow. Have been Passing variations config file, podId and wsRoot and always get the error along the linese of "can't find pod id"

not sure if theres a better channel for this but... has anyone experimented with using dendron templated notes as a way to handle semi structured data AND interface with it outside of dendron

for example Ive been trying to think of a better way to handle recipies for meal prep planning

(e.g. hitting certain nutrition goals, and generating a shopping list)

I think there's a lot of potential to build a simple tool outside of dendron that can do this, but still using dendron to hold the notes

one small part ive been trying to look into is parsing markdown notes in pythong

@User I have worked with Dendron templates to standardize formats, and VS Code User Snippets to standardize inputs (picklists, choices, etc). I've not yet utilized this info outside of VS Code. It would be interesting to develop a script to parse markdown and maybe import data into a database.

Reminds me of a subscription I used to use: https://www.eatthismuch.com/

I can see this work well if the external tool that you would use with the templated notes also accepts frontmatter (or can parse standard markdown in a structured way). Extending beyond that would mean exporting the notes in a way that the external tool can recognize it. We are going through a round of Pod improvements currently and would be exciting to see what other tools Dendron could work in parallel in the future.

I'm getting used to using the Tree View instead of the Dendron (Workspace) view of my contents. I can't quite tell what is the organizational structure is. Its not alphabetical. Its not by creating date. How are notes in the Tree View organized?

This is how they are sorted currently: 1. everything under

tags.*

bubbled up to the top 2. Rest is sorted alphabetically by the note's

Title

frontmatter 3. if The title frontmatter is the same, it is then sorted by

updated

frontmatter

FYI, There is an issue where the sort order is mixed after a rename: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/2209

Hm... My Tree View list is a-z for 1/3 of the list ("assets" - "templates"), then a-z again ("ai" to "vscode") then a-z again ("data" to "storage").

Its like 3 alphabetical lists in one, but I don't know why

It's split by vault, is that it? Or are those all in the same vault?

All under "root (vault)"
