I rarely open the preview pane, @Phoebian . As I got used to writing with Markdown, I started to rely on "preview" panes less and less. For whatever it's worth, Typora is the nicest "edit in the rendered view" editor I've used: https://typora.io/ It's not free, but it does have a 15 day trial period. Maybe you can try it and see if you like using Dendron to organize and find notes, then opening them in Typora to edit them?

Hi everyone, is there a way to edit the frontmatter that is generated by creating a new note? I'd like to add an

aliases

field that contains the title e.g., --- id: 123123123 title: Root aliases: [Root] desc: '' updated: 1123123 created: 123123 ---

You can create a template with custom frontmatter and apply it to the note during creation, but frontmatter property values cannot be set dynamically at the moment. I believe we have plans to support setting custom frontmatter with note traits (https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/bdZhT3nF8Yz3WDzKp7hqh/), but I am not aware of the specific timeline for that.

I see, noted. Thanks!

Hello, when importing a remote vault from a git repo, is there a way to include only the remote vault and not the rest of the repo contents outside the vault? When I attempt to do this and the vault within the remote repo is nested (i.e. repo/docs/vault), the entirety of the repo appears to be imported (as opposed to just the vault).

This is not supported for remote vaults - dendron expects the vault to be in its own git repository. if you have a vault that is embedded in a different repository, you can split out the vault in its own repo. as long as you have the

dendron.yml

in the original repository, dendron will automatically initialize any missing vaults for an example, you can look at the dendron monorepo setup > https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/blob/master/docs/dendron.yml#L1:L1 the

dendron.yml

references the [dev docs](https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron-docs) and the [user wiki]([[Wiki|dendron://private/ext.vault.wiki]])

Thanks @kevins8 - understood!

let me know if that sort of setup works for you. also happy to provide more detailed instructions

Hi, I'm writing a script to create md files into Dendron vault directory. What's the way to programmatically generate the

id

field for the frontmatter?

are you using javascript or another language?

Python, but I could implement that stuff I think

You could just use

str(uuid.uuid4())

for example

I think the dendron note ids can be any string

as long as it's unique?

from what I see the "official" ids are 23 char strings made from lowercase letters and numbers

the docs: id: a globally unique identifier for the note, but it's not really clear

- for dendron ids, we use the following spec: 23 characters, alphanumeric lowercase, randomly generated - this is what we use to generate the ids: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/blob/feat/smart-header-blocks/packages/common-all/src/uuid.ts#L29:L29

In my workspace explorer in VS Code my remote self-contained vaults are highlighted orange and show an exclamation mark with the message "unable to resolve workspace folder". Is there a way to fix that? -- ignore i edited the workspace file. Something up with the names.

Hi there ! i have a problem with cross vault links on publish with [[ some title | dendron://vault/note]]... works on workspace but not on publish : the note is as (private). if i use [[dendron://vault/note]] it works.

hmm, unable to reproduce. created a blank workspace to test it out. does the attached workspace work for you when you publish?

Hey folks, so I just created this workspace, how can I create sub several vaults for different topic under this root?

Thanks Kevin, with your example i found what i was doing wrong ... pipe between spaces ! Thanks

pipe between spaces on base vault is not a problem but referencing other vaults it's a problem.

referencing vaults that are no tthe same vault?

is there a way to hide titles on specific notes only, or is it only vault-wide?

In the bullet journaling video (https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/e65dfe53-41f7-4b16-b870-dadec1775497/) at the very end, Kevin moves some tasks from one day to the next. In the source note, the tasks end up with what looks like a ">" that links to the new note. Is that true? And if so, how can I accomplish this?

vault wide but feel free to submit a feature request

that is manual (for now) 😅

See middle example. Glintt is other vault

that is manual for now 😅
