FR: Show a dendron note in multiple places based on it alias

Open tgrosinger opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

When using "Add Dendron notes to graph", I am not seeing my note aliases in the matrix or breadcrumbs down view. For example with the files:

  • top.sub1.child
  • top.sub2.child
  • top.sub3 (with alias "top.sub2.child2")

In this arrangement, I see top.sub3 in the matrix and down view, however I do not see top.sub2.child2 in either.

Thank you.

That's strange... at the point where Breadcrumbs gets the alias, Dendron notes are treated the same as any other. It may be that you need to change this setting under General Options image

I did not have that setting filled out. I set it to aliases, since I'm using the default Obsidian format for aliasing notes. Unfortunately it does not seem to have fixed it.

Hmmm OK, do you get any errors in the console? I'll keep checking for a bug

Ah, okay I've noticed what's happening now. After setting the alias field, the Matrix view now shows notes with their alises after the file name. However, what I'm really looking for is for the Down view to show the same file in multiple locations in the hierarchy based on its Dendron-style name and aliases.

So in my example from the beginning, "top.sub3" would be in the list twice. Once under "top" and once as "top.sub2.child2".

Ohhhh I see.. yeah, that's quite different. I'll change this to an FR for that, but I'll have to think about how to implement it
