vitor Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 Welcome @awil, Looks like what you want is closer to @Stephen_C’s Save 'ur Note. Link to comment
awil Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) Thanks Vitor, It looks like, except that I would like to have multiple file. So it's a mix of the two workflows. I will check how to combine the two. Thanks for your help Edited March 29 by awil Link to comment
maikfrank Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Hi, I installed the workflow, I can add notes, and I can also see them using the regular Alfred search. I'm using Markdown. However, I cannot see any notes at all when I use nview command. Even the * command doesn't return anything, even though I created a few files. Is there something I'm missing in terms of the setup? Thank you. Link to comment
vitor Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 @maikfrank See discussion on GitHub. It‘s likely to be the same thing. Link to comment

Rebuilt index, even deleted spotlight folder, restarted etc. Still the same. File is showing up in search, but nview is completely empty.. md file type is also added to allowed document lists in alfred. Link to comment

dhanya Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 When I use this workflow, how do I define the app where it opens when I use option enter? Where is the default setting in the Workflow? Link to comment
vitor Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 It’s whatever your default editor is for the file type. If you want to change that only for the workflow you can edit the blue object on the far right, though it will be overwritten on updates. For future questions, please add more detail and be specific about what you tried and what you’re using. We need information to be able to help properly. I’m the author of the workflow and even still it was hard for me to understand what you were asking. Making a new thread with just nadd as the title made it particularly confusing. Link to comment
Krusty4president Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Hi. I cant get nview to work. It doesnt show any files. How can that be? I have my preference file saved to google drive and I can create a Note taker file that is saved in the correct location on that google drive folder. I can also browse and find it in Finder + I have tried to map that specific folder in Alfred for Note Taker to find. I am on Sonoma 14.6.1 and Alfred 5.5. Still it shows me nothing when writing a * What could be wrong? Link to comment
Vero Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 @Krusty4president Try typing "md" (which is the extension of all the files) and let me know if anything appears? Link to comment
vitor Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 nivew searches for files which identify as plain text. You likely don’t have an app set to open Markdown files. See this issue on GitHub for steps. Link to comment
Krusty4president Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 (edited) Hi. Probably so. Thanks for the help. I created a plain .txt in that location and then note taker found it with a * search. I read your link and I actually do have the Atom app installed. I can open a .md file created by note taker in atom but the .md file does not show up in the nview * search. Only the above mentioned .txt file. Maybe Atom is not enough? Can you recommend another markdown app, preferrably free open source? Edited September 5 by Krusty4president Link to comment
vitor Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 But are markdown files associated with Atom? I.e. if you double-click one, does Atom open? If do, drop it in the troubleshooter and post the result here. Link to comment
Krusty4president Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) Hi and sorry for late response, due to time zone difference. Now I tried to install Note Taker on my work macbook and it worked there when using the open source Marktext app. I will check when I get home. Maybe it was like you said. The need to get .md files working properly with a installed app first. It seems you need to approve the app usage in mac preferences first with many open source apps before macos accepts it as a secure app. Thanks for the support. Hope this help some other newbies like me too. /Nick Edited September 6 by Krusty4president Link to comment
umami Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 I had a similar issue to maikfrank and others. I have a couple different markdown reader apps installed (Obsidian, QLMarkdown). Note Taker worked fine for the week since I installed it, but as of today it was unable to find a note I had just created with the workflow. And then a few others, seemingly at random. After rebuilding the macOS metadata index, the workflow could find none of the notes in the specified folder. Adding markdown explicitly to the file folder node fixed the issue. Is there a downside to adding this filter by default? It's possible something in the Sequoia update is causing issues, but I'm at a loss to explain it. Btw, despite the small issue, this workflow is absolutely fantastic! Wish I had known about it sooner. Link to comment
vitor Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 Welcome @umami, 20 hours ago, umami said: Is there a downside to adding this filter by default? Nope, no downside. Would you mind dropping that markdown file into Alfred Preferences → Help → Troubleshooting → File Search Troubleshooting → Run Troubleshooting, and posting the output here? I’d like to see what’s the content tree Obsidian sets. 20 hours ago, umami said: this workflow is absolutely fantastic! Wish I had known about it sooner. Thank you for the kind words. Link to comment
