"--show-all" option with zfind?

[avanides]

It would very useful to run a zfind query and have the option to output the results as entire cards, which would in essence recreate the act of taking a physical Zettel out of an actual Zettelkasten. I am often not aware of everything that I wrote down in a given Zettel, much of which is likely of relevance for whatever it is I might be researching. Having the option to "--show-all" (or something similar) instead of listing every possible "--show" would streamline the process significantly.

Thanks for this feature request.

Meantime you can get the results you seek with this command

cat $(zfind --database index.db --query-string 'KEY:"VALUE"' --show-filename | grep PATH | sed 's/filename: //')

Notes:

1. Replace KEY and VALUE with your search criteria
2. Replace PATH with any part of the path to your zetteln
3. Optionally, pipe to less

To troubleshoot, build up from the core zfind command.

@avanides and @icornelius, we now have a --show-all option. You'll have to upgrade to the latest version via pip.

The docs will need to have a corresponding update, @icornelius. The semantics of --show-all are to show any field that is actually being used in the zettel.

Docs are updated: https://github.com/ZettelGeist/zettelgeist/wiki/Getting-Started Thanks @gkthiruvathukal and @avanides !
