Yikes. My Dendron is saving images in the notes directory. Anyone know off hand if there is a YML listing for where it saves pasted images?

Going to have to move a bunch of images and use find replace to update their paths...

Follow steps here: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron-paste-image/issues/6#issuecomment-1344780835 I have an open PR in the meantime for the extension that I think should fix the default path, but for now need to follow the steps I post in the issue comment

Appreciate it.

> Can reproduce. Images go into notes/*.png instead of notes/assets/*.png in self-contained vaults

Thought that might have something to do with it.

Theortically if you add

"pasteImage.basePath": "${currentFileDir}/assets"

to the workspace settings, it should override it for all collaborators?

Theoretically, yeah 😅 Should test it out to see if that takes care of things. If so, that's a good tip. Makes me wonder whether newly initialized Dendron vault workspaces should have that in the code-workspace settings by default too

Here's some good settings:

"pasteImage.prefix": "/",
  "pasteImage.showFilePathConfirmInputBox": true,
  "pasteImage.filePathConfirmInputBoxMode": "onlyName",
  "pasteImage.path": "${currentFileDir}/assets/images"

change

onlyName

to

fullPath

for testing.

❓ can you not use [[links]] in the YAML frontmatter? they seem to halfway work but cause all kinds of wonky stuff and notes generated from them seem to cause all kinds of wonky index issues. i'm kinda bummed because i was building out a

reading

schema and i want for example

reading.book.autonomous

to have yaml frontmatter

title: 'Autonomous

`author: [[reading.author.annalee-newitz]]`and

genre: [[reading.genres.science-fiction]]

etc etc -- i'm thinking about them like foreign keys in a database, i don't want just the value 'Annalee Newitz' i want a link via the

author_id

so to speak. is this not possible? does anybody have an alternate structure they use for this kind of thing. i'm trying out just having a

Metadata

section with an unordered list of the properties at the top but it makes me 😢

Hmmm I haven't tried playing with wikilinks in frontmatter, but I have used tags. Maybe a good idea to use tags in relation to authors and genres as a way to have the frontmatter not go wonky, while still getting the benefits of backlinks?

reading.genre.*

and

reading.author.*

notes could become

tags.reading.genre.*

and

tags.reading.author.*

notes? Not sure how much chaos that may introduce to your current hierarchies. Then they could still be mentioned like:

yaml
tags:
  - reading.genres.sci-fi
  - reading.author.author-name

https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/8bc9b3f1-8508-4d3a-a2de-be9f12ef1821/#frontmatter-tags

mmm don't love it as i try to avoid tags as much as possible (i only have two), but i can confirm tags in the frontmatter do work for me, so i do think this would work

I am having difficulty with getting my code-server setup working with dendron; Where might be the best channel or person be to seek assistance?

Dendron has the neat thing of shortcodes, like

t

and then pressing enter will insert the current date and time. is there a list where I can see all of them? Or what is their name, so I can look it up?

I get an “XHR failed” when I attempt to install Dendron from a VSIX file 😕

Is dendron relevant for non-programming professionals? I’m a mechanical aerospace engineer. Or is it really tailored for coding?

Do you mean snippets? https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/9eca1992-7540-4d9d-97fb-328b27748b2c/

Hi all. 🙂 This is totally a VSC keybindings question that's Dendron-related at best so forgive. I am trying to use GitHub Copilot which also defaults to the Ctrl+Enter hotkey. Wanting to use both but wanting Copilot for this binding. New to VSC, is there an easy way to restrict this keybinding to when the Dendron workspace is active/open? Otherwise I just get the Dendron "Engine not set" error notification every time.

Copilot installed its keybindings with a "When" condition that is only when it is active, maybe there is a way for me to add one for only when Dendron is active?

In the meantime I rebound Dendron's Go to Note key. Considering how (understandably) popular GitHub Copilot is, I bet this issue is going to be cropping up for a lot of other users like me.

tl;dr: Feels like maybe it would be better to have a When condition so Ctrl+Enter only triggers while in a Dendron workspace. Not sure if that's supposed to be done on the Extension end or the User end, but if it's on the User end then it's kind of ugly to get the Engine not set errors.

(plus I don't know how to do it 😅)

I'm not programmer. But I simply use Dendron for writing daily note and publish my personal wiki online.

I need help with linking to local files outside of the Dendron vault. When I started looking at Dendron back in September I noted that it could link to DEVONthink objects, but not to local files (at least I couldn't get it to work). Then in November I noted that linking to DEVONthink objects no longer worked. The documentation page for "Markdown Links" says it should be able to link to local files. Are there any examples for the correct format? I've tried both >[name](file:/// and >[name]() but neither one works for me.

Personal? I presume you also use it for a work wiki right ?

[update] I worked my way back installing older versions of Dendron. The standard notation of [name](file:///) worked in version 0.111. It broke in 0.112

See this. Currently not directly possible to have scoped keybindings but you can do it in a hacky way https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48945319/a-keybindings-json-per-workspace-in-visual-studio-code

Cool, thank you. 🙂 Feels bad to have a complaint because I am barely using Dendron (still new to it, just putting in my first notes), but I thought I'd ask since it was an early experience to start getting those ugly engine errors. Have a feeling I'm probably not the only one if it's a conflict with CoPIlot. 😝
