Hi Lucas,

Interesting idea to have Denote-formatted folder names. I am 
starting to use the Denote file naming convention for my photo 
archive, perhaps a folder name could help managing the thousands 
of files.

There is, however, also something to be said for holding all 
Denote files in one folder and use the tags (keywords) as sorting 
mechanism. The disadvantage of having inherited keywords is that a 
file looses information when moved to another folder. The power of 
the Denote file naming convention is that a file is monadic, it 
does not depend on anything else (other than linked files).

Hi Prot,

Sometimes life gets in the way of Emacs :)

The issue is that when you export an Org Mode file to any other 
format, the default is that the exported file gets the same file 
name as the original.

org-export-dispatch launches the export menu from where you can 
pick your options (some options require external software). So 
exporting to HTML would result in two files with identical Denote 
identifiers:

Hi Benoit,

Thanks for the explanation.

Hi Benoit,

Excuse my ignorance, what is RDE?

Hi Prot,

The new function works perfectly.

This make Denote a perfect vehicle as an archiving tool for PDFs 
etc.

Hi everybody,

Using regular Org Mode file links works, but only in Org Mode. It would 
be nice to keep non-org/md/txt files recognised by Denote because it is 
not only about Org Mode.

Recognising PDFs, images etc. as Denote files is a great addition for 
Markdown or plain text users who can't use the Org file links or 
attachment options. For me it is a great way to manage my library of 
images and pdf files.

Also, registering attachments as Denote files with 'denote-file-types' 
does not work because it is used to create new notes, which should be 
limited to editable file. I have used it to register R-markdown files as

Hi Marc,

I use the Denote fine-naming conventions for PDF, photographs etc and 
like to have them linked that way. It is a perfect replacement for the 
org attachment system.

There was another thread where we discussed this same issue:

Hi fellas,

I am happy with anything that works. Perhaps the Denote manual needs to 
mention that users can change the export file name in org mode with the 
#+export_file_name: property.

Hi,

In my Denote setup I distinguish notes (Org, md or txt) from 
attachments (e.g. PDF, mp4, jpg).

I have these added as embedded images (works perfectly), but when 
I create a link to them Denote responds with: 
"denote-link-ol-follow: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil". This 
used to work fine.

Is this a bug or something wrong in my config?

Regards
