Re: A "notebook" for BBEdit?

[BeeRich33]

 Use a "Fixes" file in BBEdit.  Design a bash script that appends a master 
file in BBEdit:

- copy text to be archived
- run script
  - enter the title of this archived entry (I use this script in Launchbar, 
excellent tool)
  - paste title, current date and a visual divider
  - paste clipboard
- delete text from original source if need be

This file becomes searchable with a date and a title

What about Yojimbo? I know it's it sore need of an update, but I still find 
it indispensable. For the $3/month the synching costs me, it's well worth 
it. I wish it would play nicer with iOS, but still hugely useful for all 
sorts of stuff on my desktops, where the bulk of my work is still done.

Re: A "notebook" for BBEdit?

[Tim Gray]

I find it very useful for things like financial documents.  I keep all of that 
on an encrypted sparse image (which EagelFiler plays nicely with).  It's mostly 
tax forms, credit statements, and other types of documents.  All indexed and 
searchable, but still in the structure of regular files and folders.

As an added bonus, it archives emails nicely.  I think I started using it years 
ago back when I used MailSmith.  Those were the days.

Probably not what you are really looking for, but EagleFiler works on a 
structured directory that can with something like Dropbox.  Not sure if 
it will preview Markdown automatically, but it does work with Spotlight 
and Quick Look, has a nice search, tagging and metadata, and also deals 
with a lot of other types of information (like emails).  I keep a couple 
of "collections" in it that would be much less manageable in Yojimbo or 
just a files and folders.


Maybe it's an option.

Re: A "notebook" for BBEdit?

[Jimmbo]

Oh, man, this discussion is exactly what I was looking for! I'd be super 
grateful if any of you could update.

As a visitor from the future, I know a few things:

1. VoodooPad is back in development
2. nvALT crashes less
3. Simplenote synching has apparently gotten even worse.
4. The app "Keep It" lets you edit in BBEdit (by changing the default 
stationary file type and ensuring Finder associates that type - txt, html, 
or md - with BBEdit).

Oh, and the problem with "Just use BBEdit" is that it forces you to title 
and save docs in Finder, which is a poor fit for spitballing/note-booking 
and generally getting stuff down in writing that doesn't serve a specific 
purpose or project. Also (per discussion above) a clot of separate files is 
unwieldy on mobile devices.

Re: A "notebook" for BBEdit?

[Vlad Ghitulescu]

Yes, you’re right, DEVONthink seems to be much more sophisticated than 
HoudahSpot. 

I usually use the nvALT-search (via Launchbar) first and only if I am not 
finding what I want (= rarely) HoudahSpot (that I use more often for finding 
PDFs).

I’ll give DEVONthink a chance (but only with indexed files because I would like 
to maintain the existing folder-structure etc.). 

Thanks for the impulse! 

Funny enough: I asked once 
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/bbedit/Vlad$20Ghitulescu/bbedit/3C4bLcLg1w4/hFTz7fLjBQwJ)
 about something similar and got a similar response, but I didn’t got it then 
(sorry, Tim, totally my fault! :-)

Yes. the advanced search operators are more sophisticated in DEVONthink: 
 https://vimeo.com/47583958

Plus there's a built in intelligence in DEVONthink that helps unearth 
unexpected relationships in your text files. It's this 'See Also' feature 
that I find the most useful as it's not based on keyword combinations but 
rather deep analysis of the content itself. This article has a great 
description of the DEVONthink analysis engine: 
http://bylr.net/3/2010/02/devonthink-the-research-assistant-youve-been-looking-for/

As for HoudahSpot, it's use's go far further than interrogating a folder of 
plain text files but focusing on that one use case scenario, it's raison 
d'etre is that it allows you to create very specific search templates that 
equip you with rapid access to sophisticated deep queries.

Multi-file Grep searching from within BBedit is yet another killer search 
feature available to you.

In saying all this, many will be happy with the built in search 
capabilities of nvALT. It very much depends on the size of your notes 
database and patterns/connections you're looking to interrogate. Research 
is a large chunk of my day job so my workflow requirements probably go 
beyond average use case scenarios. :)

Is searching through DEVONthink in a folder containing only text-files any

Re: A "notebook" for BBEdit?

[Jonathan Moore]

I'd steer away from Ulysses as it has a tendency to corrupt plain text 
files created outside of it's system with it's own idiosyncratic version of 
Markdown.

Going back to the needs you describe -

*+ Able to handle plain text files *
*+ Understand Markdown (easy to preview) *
*+ Integration with BBEdit *
*+ Light-weight *
*+ Search *
*+ Index *


I would definitely recommend nvALT as it provides everything you require 
and it can be populated by notes from any plain text editor on your system 
including BBedit. 

I personally use DEVONthink to index my nvAlt folder as this provides me 
with the best of both worlds. A lightweight plain text client (nvALT) and 
best in class sophisticated search capabilities (DEVONthink). The Open Meta 
tagging implemented in nvALT is readable by DEVONthink too which creates 
another useful way to slice and dice your notes database. My only warning 
with using DEVONthink and nvALT in tandem is to ensure that you only 
use DEVONthink to index you're nvAlt folder (don't import them 
into DEVONthink's monolithic database). This keeps things lean. 
Once DEVONthink indexes a folder it will automatically update it's index as 
you add new content.

Other helper applications to consider as part of maintaining a plain text 
notes system are HoudahSpot & Ammonite.

Based on what you've written, it (sort of) sounds like Ulysses will do what 
you want, but it would mean buying another application.  It doesn't exactly 
integrate with BBEdit, but you can import text files into Ulysses and 
manage them there. http://ulyssesapp.com

Yep, syncing is the whole point of all these notes apps, and the main a 
advantage over a Finder/folder-based notes system. (You can also sync Finder 
folders with the help of iOS apps like Documents (Readdle) or GoodReader, but 
this is not maintenance-free.)

> Right now I'm trying out Simplenote for iPhone and iPad.

Be careful, this thing has (or at least: had) sync problems from time to time. 
I also used it for quite some years: It was fine most of the time, but every 
now and then notes didn’t sync or reverted back to older versions. The problem 
is you won’t notice that until you search for something or want to access an 
older note. Finally I gave up because I’ve lost confidence.

Currently, for the bulk of my miscellaneous notes, I’m back to Apple’s 
Notes.app ;-) 

It syncs reliably in my experience, basically the notes are emails on the imap 
server (plus some new iCloud/Drive mechanics recently…). It accepts also 
attachments (images or whatever) and since iOS 8 (or 7?) these also get synced 
to iDevices. So, you can for example, attach an iThoughts document and access 
it with iThoughts on the iPad via the Notes.app.

Of, course, Notes.app is not plaintext nor MD-aware.

If I had *only* text/MD files I’d store them in a DropBox folder and access 
them on iOS with Nebulous or any other of the plethora of iOS text/MD apps. On 
OSX Spotlight does a very good job for retrieving MD/text snippets systemwide, 
so I don’t see any major need for a dedicated text notes management system on 
the OSX side.

Task or project related small plaintext stuff I’m syncing also via my task 
manager (currently 2do.app).

Re: A "notebook" for BBEdit?

[Rick Yentzer]

Great thread. I've been trying to simplify my workflow with text docs also. 
But I also want to sync it so I can view these files on iDevices when 
needed. Right now I'm trying out Simplenote for iPhone and iPad. It doesn't 
preview md files but they are still readable. I used nValt for several 
months but it crashed more than I was comfortable with. I think I'll give 
BBEdit another shot for md and plain text files. *'Smacks self for not

I should say AppleScripting the Finder to move or copy files into folder 
'folder-name.pkg' failed.

BBEdit itself was able to do it without issue.

-
set _folder to ((path to home folder as text) & "test_directory:find test 
1:myTest.pkg:")

tell application "BBEdit"
  save front text document to file (_folder & "test.txt")
end tell
-

Here's a working prototype that will deal with saved or unsaved documents:

---
set arcFolder to ((path to home folder as text) & "test_directory:find test 
1:myTest.pkg:")
set moveIt to false
set newDocName to do shell script "date '+Saved %Y.%m.%d · %H.%M.%S.txt'"

tell application "BBEdit"
tell front text document
if on disk = true then
if state modified = true then save
set bbFile to POSIX path of (get its file)
set moveIt to true
else
save it to file (arcFolder & newDocName)
end if
end tell
end tell

if moveIt then
set shCmd to "
bbFile=\"" & bbFile & "\";
dest=~/\"test_directory/find test 1/myTest.pkg/\";
newFileDest=\"$dest$(basename \"$f\")\";

if [ ! -f \"$newFileDest\" ]; then
mv \"$bbFile\" \"$newFileDest\";
else
echo \"File Collision!\";
fi
"
do shell script shCmd
end if
---

Note that I'm not handling any collisions (easy enough to do with a 
date-suffix), neither am I doing any error-handling.  I leave these as an 
exercise for the reader.

Hey Jan,

So.  Write a script to send the file (or save the unsaved document) to an 
archive folder and then use nvALT or Spotlight to search it.

If you want to hide the files from the system create a package 
(folderName.pkg).  (If you do this Spotlight will not see the files in the .pkg 
folder.)

The Finder it seems doesn't like moving or duplicating items into a package, so 
I had to use the shell in my tests - but that's easy enough.

There is a Markdown importer for spotlight. See

As a side note: 

You already have a Markdown importer. Since Markdown is plaintext it is 
sufficient to add the Markdown UTI to the system’s text mdimporter, which is 
`/System/Library/Spotlight/RichText.mdimporter`.

Open the bundle and add the Markdown UTI string to the `LSItemContentTypes` 
array in info.plist. (On my system it is `net.daringfireball.markdown`, but 
this may vary; you can get the actual UTI by running `mdls` on a .md, .mmd or 
.markdown file, or whatever extension you use.)

Reimport afterwards with `mdimport -r 
/System/Library/Spotlight/RichText.mdimporter`.

Re: A "notebook" for BBEdit?

[Jan Erik Moström]

I use DayOne for keeping a journal (which also involves Dropbox, Workflow
and Drafts on iOS and BBEdit on Mac ... I don't want personal stuff on
machine at work).

My use case for that question is that I frequently comment on student
reports, thesis reports, etc, etc. These are things that 99.99% of the time
are "write-it, trash-it, forget-it" stuff for me. But once in a while there
is some reason to pull out one of them ... but I don't really want to
"actively" save and organize them. So I want to change my previous approach
to "write-it, archive-it, forget-it" without having all the notes
cluttering my "normal" folder structure.

I use a shell script and strategically located folders:

Check the "newnote" function.

Now I just need a Markdown importer for Spotlight ;)

Re: A "notebook" for BBEdit?

[Brian Christiansen]

I know you said it wasn't a good fit for your project, but I'll just add that I 
use BBEdit for this function. 

I keep journals to track all my projects at work, and I write in Markdown. I 
made a Project named—wait for it—Project Journals, and for each project, 
there's one running .md file. Each entry is delimited by a time stamp that's a 
clipping. (I actually do that with LaunchBar, but there's no reason you 
couldn't do it with BB's clippings and a keyboard shortcut. ) I tag each entry 
with `@tag` And then I can use live find to skip around the file by tags. I can 
use Multi-file finds to search across the Project. When I type the `@` and a 
letter, auto-complete kicks in so my tags stay consistent. When I get a new 
project, I make a fresh .md, and when a project is complete, I move the 
corresponding.md to an archive folder within the Project. I can use filters in 
the Find function to so I can search across live, archived or both at the same 
time. 

It works great for me. It just requires establishing your own process. You're 
welcome to steal mine—there I just open sourced it. ;-)

If that doesn't work for you, I've heard many people love Day One for work 
journals. I love it for the personal journal that I never update… it's 
beautifully made.

Anyway, thanks to all. I now have a lot more apps and ways to handle this
to check out. I hope I find something that I like (I think I have an idea
of what I'll be using).

Re: A "notebook" for BBEdit?

[Oliver Taylor]

You should just use BBEdit itself. 

Even "notebook" apps clutter your system, they just hide that clutter somewhere 
in ~/library. 

Have you tried using a BBEdit project?

(Contrary to nvALT this one handles also lots of other file types, in addition

A "notebook" for BBEdit?

[Jan Erik Moström]

I write a lot of notes in Markdown format, they are usually highly
temporary but I would like to save them for archival purpose ... but I
don't want them to "clutter up" my file system.

I know, it sounds like a contradiction, just humor me :)

What I want to do is to have some kind of "notebook" where I can dump
files like this (and yes, there are numerous notebooks out there). My
wish list for this notebook app:

+ Able to handle plain text files
+ Understand Markdown (easy to preview)
+ Integration with BBEdit
+ Light-weight
+ Search
+ Index

Apps that I know of:

+ VoodooPad - this would be my choice if it hadn't been for that there
have been no updates in a long time (only one update since the owner
change)

+ DEVONthink - doesn't feel light-weight

+ Evernote - no text files, no markdown, no BBEdit

+ Yojimbo - no text files, no markdown, no BBEdit (as far as I can see)

Does anyone have any other app I should take a look at?
