0.78

Dendron 0.78 has sprouted 🌱

Initializing a new workspace has just become easier: Dendron: Initialize Workspace now provides a file explorer to navigate to a destination on your filesystem.

The Markdown Import Pod now imports markdown in a cleaner fashion without reformatting the contents of the body. Only internal links to local files are now updated!

Lookup search results are leveling up when it comes to the displayed order of notes you may be looking for. For more information on these improvements, visit the docs on Lookup Sort Ordering.

Highlights

  • enhance(pod): Markdown import pod avoids reformatting files (docs)
  • enhance(workspace): Dendron: Initialize Workspace can use file picker to select destination, instead of typing it out (docs)
  • fix(lookup): add sort by levenshtein distance prior to sorting by update date to lookup results of the same match score (docs)

Everything Else

  • enhance(markdown): allow notes to override the pretty refs setting (docs)
  • enhance(workspace): detect config / client compatibility mismatch in cli
  • fix(commands): paste-link-title-trim
  • fix(workspace): insert note index enablement
  • fix(views): hover preview containing local images on Windows
  • fix(views): enable copy plaintext from preview

Starboard and TIL Highlights

These are highlights from the Dendron Discord #starboard and #today-i-learned channels.

⭐ evanAndiez#9559 shared some git-fu on how --separate-git-dir can be used with git clone to have .git exist in a different directory:

"...I can simply put the Dendron vault folder directly inside an Obsidian vault in iCloud Drive to enjoy the mobile experience of Dendron, without worrying that the heavy-weight .next folder or the sheer amount of files from the .git folder might break the iCloud sync."

# Command
git clone --separate-git-dir=<path-to-git-dir/.git> url-to-git-repo

# Example
git clone --separate-git-dir=C:/Users/username/my_workspace/dendron-site-git/.git url-to-git-repo

Dendron Reading Series

This week's entry in the Dendron Reading Series.

From 16 - How to be spontaneous and grab some unexpected fun
Go to text →

I'm an ultra-scheduler. My calendar dictates each day, each week. Prior to the pandemic, I was already scheduling many aspects of my life in order to achieve goals and regularly catch up with friends.

There was room for spontaneity...but I have difficulty figuring out how to fit that into my schedule.

While we often think anticipation is half the fun, in 2016 researchers from two US universities found that people enjoyed activities more when they were impromptu. Scheduling a coffee break or a movie, for instance, made them feel “less free-flowing and more work-like”, wrote the authors.

The pandemic certainly hasn't made this easier. The tips on taking breaks and going for walks remind me of pomodoro benefits, but there I am again: I'm taking the breaks to be more efficient!

My extraverted friends are excellent at dropping in at random times with calls or messages, sometimes at just the right time when I could use a chat.

Do you struggle with spontaneity? If so, how have you made room for it in your life?

Office Hours and New User Tuesdays
