Looking at the description of the extension these seem to be limitations of that extension not of Dendron. Nevertheless good to know that it exists thanks for mentioning it

As a consolation one can make the drawing and “copy to clipboard” from Excalidraw, which you can then paste in Dendron, but it won’t be editable as an Excalidraw again. If there were a command/hotkey to summon Excalidraw that would be a big quality of life improvements

There’s probably a very simply way to do it in VS code natively; but I’m also new to VS code and wouldn’t know how 😒 maybe a custom hotkey that auto focuses on a specific file?

You are right. I just had to update my config to support the v2 export. Thanks

Anyone have a link or good tips for completely refactoring a vault? I'm trying to take one vault and splitting it into 4-5 vaults based on the root. single vault -> pers, dnd-pvt, dnd-pub, aws, tools, etc (Where those are all the first split from root in the inital vault)

I feel like there are pitfalls here lol

I'm fairly new to Dendron having discovered it last fall sometime. Sad to see that it won't be actively developed anymore. I had encountered some things that prevented me from committing to it totally. 1. Files don't always show correctly in Tree View - especially after a Pod Import. Reloading the index doesn't help. Have to quit VScode. 2. Lookup doesn't match all files. For example, I have notes that begin with "p." but when I open Lookup and type "p." it doesn't show any of them. If I keep typing the name it will eventually start matching. 3. The worst thing -- and this comes close to being a show stopper -- is that if you have something selected in one note and then you open another note Dendron deletes the selected text from the first note and pastes it into the second . Even if you notice it right away you still have to go back to the first note and fix it. I don't want an app to ever delete from my files unless I tell it to. Still I'm sorry to learn that it's gone to maintenance mode because it has a LOT to like.

Is there anyway to preserve the wikilinks?

Does Dendron have integrations with todo tree that are worthwhile ?

What I remember about the extent of Todo tree integration with Dendron can be found here - Todo tree integration: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/sgyjzopvg367t57wxm8275v/ - Task notes: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/SEASewZSteDK7ry1AshNG/

Has anybody moved from Dendron to Logseq? The main difference is that there are no paragraphs in Logseq, instead everything is a bulletpoint that is part of an outline. Logseq has internal links and a flat file structure. Hierarchy exists, but in Logseq

___

(tripple underscore) are used in the filenames instead of a

.

and

/

is used in titles i.e.

a.b.c.note-title.md

->

a___b___c.note-title.md

with the title

a/b/c/note-title

. Same syntax for inline tags as well. My plan is to create a script that - renames files - makes every line into a bulletpoint - changes internal links from

[[a.b.c.note-title]]

to

[[a/b/c/note-title]]

(any aliasing will be stripped) Logseq reads frontmatter

title: my title

but cannot deal with duplicate titles so I will be removing

title: ...

from the frontmatter. There will be some issues with internal hierarchy using headings but I figure that I will at least have my information and if I revisit a note with heading hierarchy I can fix it when I need to. Any thoughts? Anybody made something similar?

@xg Obsidian was the only other alternative I considered but I'm sticking with Dendron for the foreseeable future. Logseq only supports windows while I run mostly linux so it's a non-starter plus I love how the features of vscode enhance Dendron. I don't think I'm going to find another editor that challenges vscode's ease, functionality, and freedom, which Dendron builds on unless someone builds something similar (years away) or I win the lottery, don't have to work, and can help develop dendron lol

Thanks for the input! When did you look at Logseq? Looks like there is a Linux version now, and versions for mac (what I am using), ios, android too: https://logseq.com/downloads I agree regarding the familiarity of VSCode, but there were alot of stuff that I liked about the interaction. No tabs though... but simple enough to move between notes + preview of note when hovering link.

Oh, thanks, I was only looking at the provided Download button that is labeled based on your OS. I didn't stay for the actual downloads page lol

I have been using Logseq for a few weeks, to see how well it works for me; thus far, it's a very solid "click", but might not be for everybody. Regarding your

title:

note, you could try remapping

title:

to

alias::

, as that would preserve your current titles and/or related links, while allowing Logseq to manage the

title

property.

Good tip regarding

alias::

will look into alias syntax for links too, thanks!

Absolutely! If you're willing, please share whatever you come up with? I'm very much still in the same "how do I migrate" state, and having better tools to do so would be brilliant.

Regarding item 3 I think there is a setting to turn this off but I'm away from my computer. Once I'm back I'll try to find it

@orionp, I made a first version of a dendron2logseq script: https://github.com/fnurl/dendron2logseq I've basically only added "conversions" for stuff that I use. All my stuff seems to be there when I do the export, but that might not be the case if your structure/content for some reason falls into a case I didn't think about.

That's brilliant! Thank you for sharing your hard work. I'll try it on some limited data later this weekend, and see how it goes. 😃

Just starting with dendron, and I am looking on how to organize storage. I would like to disconnect work related notes and my private (second brain dev) from each other. The private stuff goes to a private GitHub repo, the work stuff can go to a onedrive folder. But how to start, 2 workspaces? Second question: is there somewhere a collection of useful templates? Thx Ben

I'd go for 2 vaults within one workspace. Otherwise I'm not sure how to open both at the same time which I assume is needed for second brain type notes. One vault as a remote vault and the other as a local vault. You may find my collection of schemas and templates useful or at least an inspiration https://github.com/Bassmann/dendron-schemas

Hello! I need help changing my vault from drive C:\ to another drive/folder but I cannot find out how, I can't find the answers in the documentation, the tutorial doesn't mention it and google results aren't helping much. I appreciate if anyone could tell me how to move/migrate an existing vault.

I imported Obsidian notes with the tutorial help but they just go dumped on C:\users dendron folder by default, and somehow doesn't even show up on the tree view either which got me even more confused

Chat GTP is completely wrong here, nice ideas though.

@Awri Lynn When you say it doesn't show up in the tree view? Can you show a screenshot of where it should be?

I did a complete restart of VScode, and only then the new imported notes from Obsidian appeared, doing the command Dendron: Reload index did not help, but my original problem still stands, can't migrate vault from C:\ to the other drive folder

Ironically in obsidian I also had an identical problem, I had to copy the whole obsidian vault to a new location, then "open existing vault" then after confirming they worked I deleted the old duplicate location. I might have to do this with Dendron too

You jsut have a single vault?

I don't think there is a vault file/folder-structure if you don't have multiple vaults.
