hierarchy and when I do my weekly review, I move them out of the inbox and into other appropriate hierarchies. I often have multiple related notes (say highlights from PKM articles) that I would just like to move together under the r.pkm
hierarchy without opening or renaming them individually.
Right now, since note titles might not have a common word to target with a regex, I have to either batch-rename them outside of Dendron or rename them one by one using the rename command.
I can think of two solutions for this:
1. A separate command to change the parent hierarchy of a custom selection of notes.
With this, I can use the multi-select option in this new command's lookup to pick notes I want to move (they don't even have to be from the same hierarchy) and then specify their new parent hierarchy.
2. Allow the refactor hierarchy command to operate on a custom selection of notes instead of the whole multi-vault setup.
In this option, the refactor commands needs an additional/optional step of using multi-select lookup to pick only notes to be moved and then run the refactor logic only on them.
The first option is more specific and adds a new specialized command which might not be desirable; the second, overloads an existing function, which might not be the best either. :/
The third option, as you said, could be the drag & drop approach, but I wouldn't want the mouse way to be the only option. It's a nice to have, but might be cumbersome to move notes if the target hierarchy is deeply buried.inbox.instapaper

- create a child note index
- select the notes I want to move
- run the refactor on them
It works great if the notes I want to move are listed consequently. If they aren't, I need to manually move them first and that's extra work/steps. :/
However, when I run the refactor on a selection of links, it does offer a multi-select lookup to chose the notes you want in your scope:vim
, the list is shrunken down to 3 notes, but it shows that 22 notes are still selection.all
box, the selection count goes down by 3 to 19 notes selected (the number of visible entries).andrey-jef
