My zettelkasten is for my ideas, not the ideas of others. I don’t want to waste my time tinkering with my ZK; I’d rather dive into the work itself. My peak cognition is behind me. One day soon, I will read my last book, write my last note, eat my last meal, and kiss my sweetie for the last time.

    What would you expect to happen, @Will? (I have a couple of suggestions in my notes, but would love to hear your take)

  • I'd love to be able to browse Finder and find a .md file and open it in The Archive. If it weren't a note already, the file would be promoting me to add to my zettelkasten. If it were already a note, then it would just open The Archive to that note. I tried to open one of my pre-existing notes from Finder in The Archive, thinking it would be a quick way to get to a particular note but no joy.

    I ultimately think that I'd like to script with Keyboard Maestro to launch The Archive and have it go directly to a specific note.

  • Ok, so "show note if in managed directory" and "import if not in directory". Added this to my notes :)
