    Hi @Tika , @andrey-jef - we currently don't have plans to support such functionality natively in Dendron. Feel free to open a feature request. But the imagekit link you posted seems quite nice - thanks for sharing πŸ™‚

    Agree. There are many things related to publishing in queue to be ironed out. I’m eager to see the upcoming customization of theme 😊

    Hi guys, I just discover Dendron and want to give it a try, problem is I have a lot of markdown notes following Zettelkasten style which means their names are just timestamps. I notice
    Import Pod
    can be used to import notes but I also notice this command will rename my notes to adopt a hierarchy that I am not ready to accept. Is there a way to import notes but keep their names unchanged?

    I don’t think at the beginning, Dendron was quite this explicit about who the tool is for > It's a personal knowledge management solution (PKM) built specifically for developers… Is this accurate? Also, should this tell the non-developer that using dendron is likely to be a little more on the difficult side?

    For markdown files, you can also opt for copy-pasting the files inside vault then run
    Dendron: Doctor
    and select
    fixfrontmatter
    . This would add the required dendron frontmatter to all your notes.

    Thank you Joshi, I also noticed this method, but I have almost one thousand notes so I would like to import them all with a script πŸ˜‚ But it's alright, I am thinking about what to do next. By the way, Dendron is really amazing πŸ™Œ

    Hi everyone. Images are not showing in the preview. Setup: I have two vaults, say A and B. dendron.yml is at "A/../dendron.yml". Inside dendron.yml I specify the path of the second vault, relative to A. Images show for files in my first vault, but not for those in my second vault.

    Hi @rrobinson, > Also, should this tell the non-developer that using dendron is likely to be a little more on the difficult side? Perhaps in the sense that VS Code is a tool primarily made for developers in mind, and that some of our concepts such as refactoring are borrowed from programming, so they may be more intuitive for developers. Having said that, a lot of folks here are not developers and are doing just fine πŸ™‚

    I have an issue with the graph view: I just see a notifocation that states "still connecting to engine. Please try again in a few moments..." coming from the Dendron Markdown Links Extension. Other than that Dendron works. Any idea what causes that? Apologies if this has been asked already I can't find search on the mobile client

    Do you have Dendron Markdown Links installed? This extension is no longer maintained and Dendron has the note graph feature built-in natively now. If you have Dendron Markdown Links installed you might have triggered the command of that extension instead.

    Thanks that did the trick. I had missed that this extension is deprecated now!

    Hi. For some reason Dendron suddenly stopped working for me in both Vscode and vscodium. In both places, when I turned on the keyboard shortcut troubleshooting, this is what I got (from pressing Ctrl+L): [2022-05-12 21:33:25.177] [renderer1] [error] no engine set: DendronError: no engine set at ba.get engine [as engine] (/home/huy/.vscode-oss/extensions/dendron.dendron-0.94.0/dist/extension.js:8:3233415) at ia.provideDefinition (/home/huy/.vscode-oss/extensions/dendron.dendron-0.94.0/dist/extension.js:8:3209477) at runMicrotasks () at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5) at s.provideDefinition (/usr/share/codium/resources/app/out/vs/workbench/api/node/extensionHostProcess.js:85:97789) Has anyone else seen this error? Could you please help me with it?

    Could you try deleting the
    .dendron.ws
    file (which should be located next to the
    dendron.yml
    file at the root) and restarting VSCode?

    Hi, I am trying to import a json file (Roam export) using pods but getting the following error "error while running command: fname not defined." how to fix it? should i configure something in the config.import.yml file?

    I have a vault named
    public
    . With the hierarchy
    parent.child.grand-child.*
    . Now I want to set private (or not published) the hierarchy starting from
    grand-child
    This is how I config in
    dendron.yml
    Copy code
    siteHierarchies:
            - root
            - parent
            - child
            - grand-child
        hierarchy:
            grand-child:
                publishByDefault:
                    public: false
    However the hierarchy starting from
    grand-child
    is still being published online. Please teach me why, or how to achieve my purpose?

    I am also interested. In addition, it would be great to have aggregate visualization and refactoring tools for public/private settings...

    Hi everyone, I read some history log about "twitter card preview" but no idea what's really it is. Does it mean DD support twitter url preview inline?

    Hi @hv77 - are you using the json import pod? What does your
    config.import.yml
    file look like right now? Some docs in case it helps: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/28dfaaf8-4944-447c-be30-39c514a80bb0/#import

    Haven't tried this myself but... does this work if you fully qualify the grand-child hierarchy?
    Copy code
    yml
        siteHierarchies:
            - root
            - parent
            - child
            - parent.child.grand-child  <-- perhaps you can also try omitting this one from siteHierarchies altogether?
        hierarchy:
            parent.child.grand-child:
                publishByDefault:
                    public: false
    @kevins8 in case he knows better

    just update. I have just tried putting the full hierarchy path as you suggested. It also does not work πŸ™‚

    Hi Jyeung, Thanks for the reply and docs link! I did refer them, and Kevin's video was also helpful to understand the pods + json import. But, json file exported from Roam seems to be complex compared to the example shown in the video and
    fname
    is not part of the data too. Refer to my
    config.import.yml
    below
    Copy code
    yaml
    # description: Where to import from
    src: '~/Downloads/hv77/hv77.json'
    
    # description: name of vault to import into
    vaultName: park
    
    # description: whether to concatenate everything into one note
    concatenate: false
    
    # description: frontmatter to add to each note
    frontmatter: 
      roam: true
    
    # description: use the file name as the id
    fnameAsId: true

    can i have tags autopopulated as a key in the frontmatter when i create a note? if so, where would i put this configuration?

    you can if you add apply a template with the schema. you would put the tags in the same place in the template note where you'd regularly put them

    Hi again, try to create a new workspace and got an error with C:\Users\users\.dendron\meta.json. Then, got more errors with the '.dendron.cache.json' of every vault. Just delete all of them, reload VSCode and it's working fine now.
