Second question: - I'm interested in creating a custom shortcut that copies the value of one of my Dendron note frontmatter values to clipboard. In my case:

canonicalUrl

- I want to copy the value to clipboard so that I can easily share that URL if wanting to. Is this kind of thing possible with VS Code / Dendron configs, or something that would have to be done in the Dendron extension code base?

You can set

sync: noPush

on the specific vault you want this behavior: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/6jpib71kvuuqjbq6txyo0qh/#nopush

Not aware of a VSCode native way to do this. Do you mind creating a feature request for it? 🙂 Copying the frontmatter value under the cursor would indeed be useful.

Maybe I'm oversimplifying a sophisticated question, but: when you say "the same Dendron notes available," do you mean "available" as in "can be linked to from any note, regardless of workspace" or do you more simply just mean "visible"? If it's the second, what I currently do is have multiple windows open, one or more of which is open to my Dendron workspace. So my Dendron notes are always ready for me to interact with—but they can't be linked to / interacted with until I click onto their window.

@ScriptAutomate You might be able to use this extension to do something like that: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ara225.regex-copy-or-cut

I've been using this extension for a few days now https://github.com/patleeman/VSNotes with this extension, I setup a "notes" directory in ~/notes/ and the extension uses this directory regardless of my current workspace no matter what workspace I'm using, that VSNotes extension provides access to the same directory filled with md files it's nice... but it's also a dead project and under-developed and Dendron clearly has waaay more functionality 🙂 for context, I use ~20 workspaces and maybe ~40 git repos for my work I'd like to add Dendron based documentation to some of these repos but I'd also like to have my personal notes (e.g. ~/notes/) always available regardless of which workspace/repos I'm currently working in these would be segregated from anything backed by a git repo so I would specifically want to avoid linking these together does this make any sense? 😄

where did dendron paste image go? did it go away?

this paste image works, but i thought it was called "Dendron: Paste Image"? also, it doensn't prepend my assets/images path

but it does add it to that folder

hmm maybe i need to configure this https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dendron.dendron-paste-image

@kevins8 when will you guys implement this feature “Support WSL setup for paste image command ?” At this point it has become a question of make it or brake it or leave dendron altogether for my team https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/2310

A bunch of us with in wsl and it’s a nightmare to paste a screenshot in dendron

Dendron's paste image is a fork based on an older version a markdown paste image extension. This upstream repo has an issue opened trying to address the same problem: https://github.com/telesoho/vscode-markdown-paste-image/issues/88 I think Dendron may benefit from: - Syncing the Dendron fork with this repo as a new upstream, in order to gain from the contributions over past two years or so - Waiting for upstream to resolve the problems with WSL experience, and then adopting those improvements due to noted awareness and comments on planning to support WSL in that repo Dendron's fork, and issue about pull from a new upstream: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron-paste-image/issues/3

Hello everyone, just got dendron yesterday. I am going through the wiki, but I can't seem to find anything. Is there a video about creating tasks and what is possible with task notes? I'd like to see some process of it.

Here are some docs for task notes : https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/SEASewZSteDK7ry1AshNG/

that's what i had open

but it is talking about how the yaml is used, and i would like to see a presentation of it

Hi everyone 👋 (a) is it possible to change the default name of a meeting note? (b) is it possible to chronologically traverse other hierarchies than daily journal notes? My use case is: I would like to chronologically navigate all meeting notes that I had e.g. with a particular person. Options I have in mind: (1) name meeting notes as meet....; this would require being able to chronologically traverse the hierarchy. (2) name meeting notes as meet..--; then, every meeting note with that is a sibling of every other. Other suggestions are welcome. Thank you! 🙂

I would love to see less friction in adding images. I would like to be able to drag or paste any image into a note and see it added to 'assets' and linked correctly. At the moment, Paste Image converts to png, dragging from OS creates absolute paths. I might be missing something. What is the fastest way to add an image from the web as a local copy?

Dumb question, what does canonical URL actually do? Does it mean when published it gets that as the URL instead of the note id?

canonicalUrl

is used in HTML metadata by pages that have duplicated posted elsewhere online, and helps SEO understand that the original content to be indexed and pointed to exists elsewhere. This is good if you are re-posting content (let's say blog posts to Medium, dev.to, Hashnode, etc. which all support entering a canonicalUrl value). I'm currently converting existing docs, like Microsoft docs, to Dendron vaults and want the original published doc page location to be referenced with canonicalUrl. This means an easy share of the original published doc, but also means if I publish the vault as a Dendron site that SEO (Google, other search engines) don't get messy when it discovers duplicate online content. Not only does it then share both links in searches if canonicalUrl is missing, but I believe it also lowers both sites as a form of penalty for seeing duplicate content on multiple sites unless canonicalUrl is there to point to source of truth

Notes availability

Really great explanation thank you!

For anyone who uses Obsidian as well as Dendron: which option would be best practice for allowing one to utilize the plugins/functionalities of both softwares? Option A) initialize a blank Dendron workspace >> create a folder within the Dendron workspace to initialize an Obsidian vault with OR Option B) initialize a Dendron workspace within a blank Obsidian vault (i.e. “root” would be under the overarching Obsidian vault folder)

Absolutely adore Dendron’s hierarchical system of filing notes, but certain Obsidian plugins are invaluable to my workflow (Eg obsidian-anki/bibnote formatter etc)

Hey, I'm trying to import notes from Obsidian with import pod, and keep getting this error. What could I have done wrong? I don't think it's the path, because I can import a dummy folder instead. Update: There is a second error message, that says "error while running command: EBUSY: resource busy or locked".

@jyeung any thoughts here? ☝️

New to Denron -- I manually imported my old md meeting notes by matching the naming convention and dropping them in. I'm wondering if there is some way to populate

meet.journal

with links to all the children, or do I have to write it "manually"?

What's the easist way to file a bug report?

Is there anyway to get an intermediate rendering of checkbox for a todo list? Something in between complete

[x]

and incomplete

[ ]

? Right now I use

[-]

. But it doesn't render to a box in markdown. As far as I know markdown only offers the incomplete and complete variants. Does anyone else use a workaround to this? I also use this in combination with the TODO tree plugin to help organize and sort tasks.
