    @User can you elaborate on what you mean by integration? definitely want to support the workflow. currently, you can link arbitrary files into the
    assets
    folder of your vault and open them using dendron (https://dendron.so/notes/3472226a-ff3c-432d-bf5d-10926f39f6c2.html#other-links). you can also reference notes via footnotes (https://dendron.so/notes/ba97866b-889f-4ac6-86e7-bb2d97f6e376.html#footnotes) depending on what you're looking for, it might make more sense to continue using zotero to manage your references but use dendron to reference them via a zotero pod: https://dendron.so/notes/66727a39-d0a7-449b-a10d-f6c438185d7f.html

    @User we currently have a feature request for it: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/225 planning on implementing this sometime this week ๐Ÿ™‚

    @User I don't think this is quite the same. Here I am just changing the
    title
    in the metadata block, not actually renaming the note. This might be tricky. Maybe it is easier to handle with a regex because I know what the old value was and the new value should be, and maybe dendron doesn't.

    VSCode Vim mode users: do
    undo
    &
    redo
    (
    ctrl u
    /
    ctrl r
    )do funky things for you sometimes? I find my undo/redo stacks can get completely messed up and pollute my file with broken/incorrect changes. I suspect https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues/1490 is screwing me up and curious if y'all have a nice workaround.

    @User Yes. I haven't figured out exactly how it happens, but sometimes a single undo will wipe out a whole ton of changes. Super annoying when I hit it.

    Thanks for the confirmation. I suspect VIM mode undo stack being out-of-sync with VSCode stack + autoformatting on save are the 2 root causes for me.

    I get a popup for when I type [[]] to try and link internally. Should I be getting some kind of GUI to peruse close-ish matches?

    are you asking if you should be getting a GUI that is not a popup?

    this is my settings. it shows suggestions when you trigger intelligence
    Copy code
    "editor.snippetSuggestions": "inline",
            "editor.suggest.snippetsPreventQuickSuggestions": false,
            "editor.suggest.showSnippets": true,
            "editor.tabCompletion": "on",

    @kevins8 following on from the monetisation discussion in your podcast with @imalightbulb, Iโ€™d gladly pay an annual amount to keep Dendron open source and self-hosted. I can totally see value in an end to end offering for non-developers in particular, but Iโ€™m a huge fan of the ability to build directly atop the CLI.

    thanks for the support @User ๐Ÿ™‚ to re-iterate for bystanders, the dendron client will always be free and open source! https://dendron.so/notes/683740e3-70ce-4a47-a1f4-1f140e80b558.html#is-dendron-free-will-it-stay-free monetization will come in terms of server side value add features like native end2end sync, private hosting, and a web accessible version of vscode. this can all be self hosted if you have the appetite but for those that just want something that works, then they can pay us to do it for them it'll be a while (eg. end of the year) before we introduce these features. in the meanwhile, for folks that want to support dendron, we'll be announcing an environmentalist plan in late october. This will be a pay-what-you-want one time/recurring payment to support Dendron development. It'll come with Dendron swag (still figuring this out, please chime in if you have suggestions), a special discord role, and my eternal gratitude!

    Iโ€™m totally in. Stickers for promoting Dendron probably offer some ROI for the project too ๐Ÿ˜›

    Quick question about journal creation. Currently it uses
    {domain}.journal.{date}
    as the default name. Iโ€™ve found a couple of instances where I would like to change that to
    {domain}.{subdomain}.journal.{date}
    where the subdomain might be a few levels deep. Is there a way to do this?
  • k

    kevins8

    10/01/2020, 4:03 PM
    @User currently we support
    {domain}.{namespace}.{journal}
    when you set
    default{NodeType}AddBehavior
    to be
    childOfDomainNamespace
    . if you want a journal deeper in your hierarchy, you can set the
    AddBehavior
    to be
    childOfCurrent
    which will a journal entry under where ever you currently are. moving forward, we'll also let you define it via your schema so you can set a particular part of your hierarchy to be the
    journalParent
    which is semantically closer to what you want? https://dendron.so/notes/5c213aa6-e4ba-49e8-85c5-1bdcb33ce202.html#defaultnodetypeaddbehavior

    @User Ah, fantastic. Not sure how I missed that, but it is exactly what I am looking for. I think that
    childOfCurrent
    is usually what I want -- i.e. notes about a specific thing rather than the category, but I suppose that it will probably be useful to have that selectable in the schema. I don't really have enough organization to really set up meaningful schemas yet though.

    ahh, seems that Dendron won't support any folders within the vault? or if they are they are unsearchable?

    yeah, currently dendron expects a flat file structure under the vault with hierarchies created using the
    .
    notation. you'll be able to partition by folders once we ship multi-vault (https://dendron.so/notes/45cfb9f2-46cf-4f67-a41e-834818fbd06e.html) which should be around end of october. otherwise, you can also link to external files and have dendron open them using your system defaults: https://dendron.so/notes/3472226a-ff3c-432d-bf5d-10926f39f6c2.html by convention, asset files stored within dendron are created under
    {vault}/assets
