    Hi there, I'm using Dendron and trying to do a print of the preview (with links) but can't find a way to do that... Is something like that even possible? thank you

    I was able to do it by first publishing the site (even just the dev publish), although I did have to remove the search bar (just F12 select and delete the code for it on the page :D) otherwise it would overlap the top of each printed page...

    That was a while ago, not sure if the template has been updated since then

    @rlh1994 that's a nice workaround, thanks

    I've wanted to experiment using pandoc for that (i.e. generating a PDF and then printing), but while it may certainly work, I have not tried that myself

    hmmm so does this imply I can automatically create weekly notes? Id love to be able to map another hotkey to a weekly note, but everything im seeing on the dendron wiki makes the daily notes seem like a black box / hard to customize.

    I meant the numbering that is not automatic. The only automatic things for now seem to be the date in journal and daily journal.

    Thats a shame, surely theres a way to script this? Maybe @kevins8 would know better

    I am trying to add a remote vault from a repo on a local file system, but the path name has spaces in it. It seems like neither escaping the space with a backslash nor wrapping the path in quotes works. I end up with either a "too many arguments" git error because spaces break the command or a "invalid characters in path" dendron error for the vault address in dendron.yaml. Anyone know how to get this working? Edit: On Windows 10

    theres a good chance we don't handle that well right now. @Joshi can you look into this?

    From my experience, it would be better if u separate the dendron vault and obsidian vault. I tried to initiate a dendron vault then open it in Obsidian. I use icloud to sync the vault for Obsidian on ios. The problem is that dendron can easily produce 20k of temporary files for publishing online. Hence opening a dendron vault using Obsidian on ios requires a minute to sync and start to write something, which is not comfortable to use

    Can a youtube video be embedded in the published dendron page?

    Hi all, I'm playing around w/ Dendron for a while and really, really like it (much more than all other approaches tried [Zettlr, Obsidian, logsec]. The last big step would be to migrate my rather large repository of single notes (5k+) to Dendron. They are all stored in folder hierarchies (which went ok so far for me). Here comes the **question**: what is the recommended approach to migrate all the stuff? I had to rename all files, basically put the folder hierarchy into the filenames, add the frontmatter w/ dendron doctor and perhaps create separate vaults for each of the seven top-level "knowledge area" folders? Is there any automation for this so I don't need to write my own import tool?

    Sent in a DM - note the daily note now works fine today so its probably no big deal, its just the one for yesterday (same day I was screwing around with things) didn't work

    Dendron comes with an import tool that takes markdown files in a folder hierarchy, https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/f23a6290-2dec-45dc-b616-c218ee53db6b/

    Thanks very much, @Tanamr! I actually tried this (even once before), but received a "error while running command: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'entries')". I have a
    Copy code
    config.import.yml
    under
    Copy code
    pods/dendron.markdown
    of the following content:
    Copy code
    yaml
    src: imp
    vaultName: _doc
    It's a code workspace and the folder hierarchy resides in a separate imp directory.

    Hmm, I found an old config.import.yml that I was using, and it does have the full path. The line was just formatted like
    src: C:\some\file\path
    but mine happened to not have spaces. I'm not too familiar with yaml, but I think you can just leave the whitespace in.

    Hey all, has anyone seen this before? Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, I've looked in the dendron.yml for duplicate vaults and I don't see anything. When I "CTRL+Enter" on a note link it asks me which vault I want. But this only happens for some notes. The behavior is different with notes in the same hierarchy too.

    Maybe links are also affected by
    confirmVaultOnCreate
    and
    vaultSelectionModeOnCreate
    (note creation settings). I set those to
    true
    and
    smart
    respectively, and they usually give me the correct context and vault + other vault suggestions. What you're probably seeing is 1 suggestion followed by a list of available vaults which makes it look like a duplicate. If you don't want to use multiple vaults you can try to disable it.

    I feel like im messing up my hierarchy because its not... working the way i want it to? I can get links from the root node, but they don't have heirarchy lines, and the subsequent nodes don't show children in the graph panel

    This is happening to me too, but I only have one vault. Might be a bug?
