Properly manage filenames

Open silverhook opened this issue 12 years ago • 5 comments

I'm using ownNotes to write .markdown (which is the proper extension for it, not .md) files on ownCloud, which are then further processed into a blog using Pelican.

Therefore I need the filename extensions to be intact.

Currently ownNotes adds .txt to whatever the user enters in the first line of the note.

This in turn changes e.g. ownnotes-test.markdown into ownnotes-test.markdown.txt, which messes things up for me.

What's more, ownNotes sometimes shows the extension and sometimes not — this adds further confusion.

In order of my preference, here are some solutions:

  • actually show and use the full filename (preferably in a separate field or with a line drawn between or something visual);
  • add to options which file extension to use (e.g. .txt, .markdown, .note, custom);
  • just change the hardcoded settings to append .markdown instead of .txt.

P.S. Thanks for the wonderful app(s), BTW :smile_cat:

Another annoyance I found is that if you try to change the base of the filename in ownNotes, it rename the extension (back) to .txt.

No sorry, all my sailfish applications development are suspended currently.

Oh, well. I’ll wait.

Unless it’s a very easy fix and I can try it myself.
