#Taskpaper nvalt code

The routine for finding the WikiLinks is really simple, and a good chunk of code to keep around if you’re still using AppleScript. Then just use relative paths to the base in other variables. About this Episode DISCUSSED: our perception of value is definitely personal and maybe even a little generational sometimes, the only thing you can afford is the best a listener question about where your hosts are with comics further praise for TaskPaper updates on macOS text editing Merlin capitulates to Catalina Dan answers a listener question about coping with chronic back pain. Note that there’s a new (and not-yet-documented) property called baseFolder which you can set to the common root of all configured paths. The new version of ExtraInfo+ is up on GitHub, and you can find usage instructions there as well. If the note doesn’t exist yet, it’s created from a template.Īlso, it uses Notification Center for messages if Growl isn’t running, which is a step up from display dialog. That note pops open in nvALT (or whatever note/editor app you specify as the first option). With the new version, you can put ] anywhere in the text of a task and it will be found when you trigger ExtraInfo+. I like to keep certain TaskPaper files in nvALT as well, so there’s the added bonus that when I view them in nvALT, all of the wiki links are clickable. Something similar to nvALT note linkingone could even maybe link to file URLs, allowing file attachments of a sort. I decided to combine the functionality into ExtraInfo+. I love the double bracket syntax because it’s easy to use, and works in any app I can run a service in (I do it in my OmniFocus notes, too). I also make a lot of use of ] in my notes and tasks, and then use services like nvWikiLinker to connect to notes in nvALT. I still use it almost every day, as it allows me to keep my coding projects in TaskPaper clean and readable, with all references, notes, and brainstorms externally linked.

I trigger it with FastScripts and my brainstorming and extra details for the currently-selected TaskPaper item open instantly.

ExtraInfo+ is a script that reads tags such as and in my TaskPaper tasks, and the tag value creates a link to an external note, mind map, outline, or whatever I need in order to expand on the topic. I published my version of Pedro Lobo’s Extra Info script for TaskPaper a couple of years ago. TaskPaper-compatible strikethrough formatting using the done tag Fully plain-text-based automatic.
