Hi!

Thank you for reporting this. I think I've been sloppy and forgotten a file from git.
I've hopefully fixed it and a build from clone of efe4fc1 succeeds for me now.

[muralikodali]

after update of repository, zettel is built successfully.

from the usage point, i would like to make some suggestions.

• file names contain werird characters

• there is some name conflict found when using Zettel. I have copied Zettel to zettel ( with lower case - two executables ) to remove the error message.

• opening in vim gives accessibility to commands, mappings are not available .

• i also request to provide some elaborative examples to understand your software approach to ZettelKasten.

sorry for making all these requests , though you have stated "This is a program build by me and for me"

[aleator]

No problem! Fixing stuff like this will improve the program for me as well. But, you'll need some patience for both me and the program :)

bc22f6a should fix the Zettel / zettel issue. OS X is rather stupidly case insensitive and typos like this are pretty hard to find.

The weird characters in file names are intentional at this point. The box you're seeing is missing counterbracket to ⟦, ie ⟧ and the random characters inside the brackets are there so that zettels created in different computers (aka. work/home) can be safely merged without collisions.
I'm really not happy with the file-name scheme, but fixing it takes some thinking. I'll make an issue to track this. However, as the filenames aren't used by themselves all that much, I think that this is mostly an aesthetic issue.

For the mapping issues, could you possibly run :autocmd zettel in your vim after opening the zettel you've created? I'm really a newbie with vimscript, so I've probably screwed up with it.

I can make some use videos at some point, but these will take time. I'll see if I can make one or two tomorrow to see if they'd help.

running autocmd zettel gives output :

[aleator]

So, it gets loaded. Perhaps this is documentation issue, since the vimscript uses , as localleader. You can either use your localleader instead of ,(use :let maplocalleader to see what it is) or add let maplocalleader=',' to your vim config if you want to use , (or replace with your favourite key).

I'll fix the readme about this today.

[aleator]

Also, added a really random exposition video. If I'd do similar for

• Creating your first note
• Adding notes and links
• Navigating with wikilinks
• Fuzzy finding

Would that suffice for starting out?

Hi,

Sorry. I seem to have pushed to the wrong branch on hurry.

Fixed in 5b44d9b

[muralikodali]

now zettel compiled without error.

please ensure single command name i.e; zettel. no other command in linux start with capital letter.
commands like Zcre,ZTreeView,Zfill,Zf,ZextZlnk are loaded in vim. other commands and mappings like ZResolve,ZettelRecent,PasteQuote,ZettelLink are not loading at all.

[aleator]

I went and acquired a blank linux for testing. I think I've now fixed the badly-cased binary issue for good. If any of the commands invoke the lowercase zettel, please let me know.

Your vim issue seems rather odd. I'm certainly no vimscript expert, but I can't see how part of the file is loading and part is not. Can you show me snippet from your init.vim that shows how you set localleader and how you source the file?

Also, can you tell me what :nmap and :vmap commands return for you?

Fixed. Pushed a wip in accident. Will figure out some strategy to avoid these in the future.

[muralikodali]

thanks for your suggestions.

there is some problem with vim key mapping from my side. zettel leder key is mapped to "" instead of my vimrc setting "," . mapped keys worked as intended with change of leader key.

zp - pbpaste has problem on my linux machine. I have bypassed that problem by providing some aliases to shell configuration.

alias pbcopy='xclip -selection clipboard'
alias pbpaste='xclip -selection clipboard -o'

now this program just began to provide value for using with some pain areas like file naming with odd characters. I have not still tried tantivy.

I have some problem with zettel neighbourhood (\zn) . preview is not working.
I have attached screenshot below.

[aleator]

Perhaps you've sourced the zettel.vim before setting the localleader? To my limited understanding, it might be that nmaps don't actually store <localleader> but instead resolve it while doing the binding. So, perhaps try swapping them if that'd help?

Also, I will at some point add a configuration file with which you could choose commands like pbpaste and even fzf to your liking. But that still needs some thought.

Could I ask for bit more details on the neighbour issue? The neighbours command looks at the links, but it doesn't actually check if the files are there. Other option is some encoding issue. Could you paste an ls output of your ~/zettel so I'd have a hint which it is?

Good to know.

Hi again,

Sorry for taking so long, but I've been occupied with work-related stuff.

Have you renamed your files or created them manually? The program shouldn't add extensions to files by itself. The links are stored in a database so you don't need to scan files to extract things like neighbourhoods and it previously had no means for detecting external changes.

8e46e4b introduces a "rescan" command that will re-index your zettels after manual changes. Also, it will now try to update links when you open zettels.
