In the latest greenhouse talk, I noticed that something like $dd in the file names within the template. I assume this creates the file when the template is initiated with the current date. How does this exactly work? any documentation? The exact timestamp for this is @17:11

See the response right above you from Kevin 😅 We do have a way to add the current date in templates but it looks different, see here: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/GelEQPZrSgr3CK9y10Nrg/#template-variable-replacement It doesn't apply to note names though

I'm having some odd issues with vscodevim and

ctrl+d

/

ctrl+u

after opening another note. I don't have an exact repro yet, but it seems to be view specific, so I can keep moving up/down in the other split. 1. Split vscode so 2 files are open (ctrl+d/ctrl+u works) 2. cmd+p (or cmd+o in my case) to open a file 3. pick a markdown file 4. try ctrl+d/ctrl+u, see that it doesn't work 5. go to the other split, see that ctrl+d/ctrl+u works there These are the shortcuts I have set for this now. Been messing around with it but no success:

Have you tried

Developer: Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting

to see what actually gets dispatched?

I have not - will try this, thank you!

Interesting, can't reproduce with the troubleshooting enabled. I'll turn it on the next time it happens. EDIT: continuing in thread ^

Damn that's embarrassing, I should read more on the forum 😖 Thanks for the notice though

Love the "Paste File" command. I was wondering if it's possible to rename a file already in the vault? "Rename Symbol" does not work.

Oh, actually it does something: it I write [[assets/file.pdf]] instead of [file](assets/file.pdf), I can Rename Symbol. But, if I place the cursor on [[assets/file.pdf]] and "Rename Symbol" (say I want to rename it to file2.pdf), it actually moves vault/assets/file.pdf to assets/file2.pdf. i.e. it creates a folder "assets", that is different from the one under "vault" And another weird thing: If I rename [[vault/assets/file.pdf]], it does rename the file this time, and keeps it under vault/assets, but changes the link to [[file.pdf]] after renaming. I can't win 😢

Because now if I open [[file.pdf]] it opens file.pdf.md.

Any suggestions?

Hello everyone! Some days ago my templates for the daily journal stopped working (they weren't applied). I posted a message on github about my schema: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/2439 . After fixing a problem with my

daily.schema.yml

, they worked for a while, but they have stopped working again. I'm using the following config: One dendron workspace with 3 vaults: 1. Professional 2. Personal (where I want my journals to reside) 3. Templates (where all the schemas and templates reside) Everything is synced with several laptops via git (I use dendron's

Sync Workspace

feature). I'm quite lost in how to debug the problem. Can anyone help me with that?

Also, related to that issue: I would like to create all my daily journal in a private vault, while I'd like most of the other content to be in a different vault. Is there any recommended workflow to do that? AFAIK, when using the calendar feature it will create /look for notes in the current vault, and the only way that current's vault is defined is based on the last opened file's location.

I'd recommend sending in a feature request! This is just something Dendron doesn't support yet.

Great, thanks!

Haha, thanks for clarifying this. Good trick!

Another quick question: When I select a text, say "foo", and press Cmd + Shift + S, a scratch note "scratch." is created. I would expect the originally selected text to be changed to [[foo | scratch.]], however that does not happen anymore. While "scratch." is created, no link is inserted, and the originally seleted text, "foo", stays the same. was this functionality changed? I have 0.83.0

I think someone ( @User or @User I think? ) from the team noticed this too and is working on a fix. Feel free to send in a bug report though, I don't see one reported already.

Oh ok. Any guildelines anywhere about how I to make a good bug report?

I see in the linked issue was caused by a bad schema. Could this be related to a problem with the schema too? We currently don't have a nice way of debugging schemas, but I or someone else can take a look if you can share the schema.

The only important thing is including enough information so we can reproduce the issue. What you posted here looks great in my opinion, if you create a bug report with all of this it should be perfect.

Sure! Here's my schema (which is the same as that issue + the fix):

yaml
version: 1
schemas:
- id: daily
  title: daily
  desc: ""
  parent: root
  children:
    - journal
- id: journal
  title: journal
  desc: ""
  parent: daily
  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:
    # identifier for the template (for a note based template, it would be the name of the note)
    id: templates.journal.day
    # what sort of template we are creating. currently, only 'note' is supported
    type: note

Just a whim, but would you mind trying it with

parent: daily

removed? Otherwise this looks very similar to the schema I use which works

Oh also, I think

namespace: true

for the day might mean this will match

daily.journal.2022.02.28.something

but not

daily.journal.2022.02.28

. Removing that might also work

Oh and the template should be

template: templates.journal.day

.

Just FYI that I'm working on the fix right now 🙂

You can set

dailyVault

to be the vault you want the daily journals to be created. like so:

yaml
# in dendron.yml
...
workspace:
  journal:
    dailyVault: private
...

cool! I'm going to try it!
