From Peter Prevos to ~protesilaos/ef-themes

Hi Prot,

Glad you like my little folly. Theme-buffet is proper food 
compared to my fast-food version.

Happy for you to add a link to the Ef Themes manual. I am not 
releasing this formally and will leave it on GitHub as is.

Regards

Frivolous code: disco-ef-themes 3 days ago

From Peter Prevos to ~protesilaos/ef-themes

Hi folks,

I just created a frivolous minor mode to randomly change between 
Ef Themes.

Hi Prot,

I have not yet written release notes for anything I develop.

Perhaps it is a habit I should start.

Updated denote-explore package a month ago

From Peter Prevos to ~protesilaos/denote

Hi folks,

I have just updated the denote-explore package: 
https://github.com/pprevos/denote-explore

It does three things:

1. Summary statistics: Count and visualise keywords and note types
2. Random walks: Generate new ideas using serendipity
3. Network visualisation: Visualise your Denote network of links

It contains a rudimentary network visualisation function, relying 
on the R language. I will need some D3.js expertise to improve the

Hi Prot,

Perhaps a section in the Denote manual covering exporting Org and 
Markdown files would be useful.

You can use this as you see fit:


Exporting Denote notes
──────────────────────

   When exporting Denote notes to, for example, a website or PDF,
   there is a risk that the same file name is used with a new
   extension. This can be problematic because it creates files with

Hi Nobiot and relict007,

I am using the Melpa version and just checked the GitHub 
version. Apparent I wasted my time worrying ... :)

Please ignore my email.

Perhaps the text and code I wrote about exporting would be good to 
add to the manual to prevent the duplicate ID issue in the first 
place.

Apologies to waste your time.

Hi Nobiot,

An attachment can be anything, they are not generated with Denote 
but manually. For example, I could take a photo today and call it: 
20230514T175032--kangaroos__nature.jpg or I scan attachments for a 
meeting and call them 
20230430T172742--master-class-induction__magic.pdf, video files, 
audio recordings etc etc. An attachment can be anything that I 
like to keep within the Denote ecosystem. There are also text 
files, such as R and Fountain scripts, that I save using this 
format. 

I save these in subfolders of my denote-directory, but that is not

From Peter Prevos to ~protesilaos/denote

Hi Prot, I did a fair bit of research on this issue so this is a 
lengthy email
(plain text export from Org mode).

1 Summary of the issue
══════════════════════

  • Denote can create and manage notes in three formats (Org, 
  Markdown
    and plain text)
  • The file naming convention can also be applied to other file 
  types,
    such as other plain text formats, PDFs, images, video or audio

Hi relict007,

Thanks for writing these caching functions, could be useful in my 
efforts to visualise Denote networks.

Proposed solution for linking to non-Denote files 7 months ago

From Peter Prevos to ~protesilaos/denote

Hi fellow Denoters,

I have found an alternative for denote-get-path-by-id that 
circumvents issue duplicate identifiers (such as exported 
versions) by providing the user with options when this is the 
case.

This solution lets me link to PDF, video and other files with 
Denote identifiers, instead of only to txt, md and org. It also 
serves as a warning that a duplicate file is available that might 
need to be cleaned-up.
