Hidden preferences and how to set them

ctietze

The Archive has a couple of settings that you cannot change from the graphical user interface.

If you want to create a simple settings dashboard, you can use the thearchive:// URL scheme in one of your notes inside of The Archive. There, you can click the links to change settings -- no terminal needed.

For example, try to paste these into a note:

Pasted image filename without spaces: thearchive://preference/pastedImageFilename/set/yyyyMMdd'_image'
Pasted image filename without date: thearchive://preference/pastedImageFilename/set/'pasted-image'
Pasted image filename reset: thearchive://preference/pastedImageFilename/delete

ID's accurate to seconds: thearchive://preference/identifierDateFormat/set/yyyyMMddHHmmss
ID's accurate to minutes: thearchive://preference/identifierDateFormat/set/yyyyMMddHHmm  (original)
ID's accurate to days: thearchive://preference/identifierDateFormat/set/yyyyMMdd
ID reset: thearchive://preference/identifierDateFormat/delete

Then you can play around with different formats.

Note: Most of these settings don't actually require a relaunch of the app, but if something doesn't work, quit and open the app again if in doubt.
