Will this work for Dropbox storage option? #3

Closed jgclark closed 4 years ago

jgclark commented 5 years ago

I'm not very proficient in ruby, so can't tell whether this would work if someone uses the new Dropbox option for storing notes, over the iCloud option. Something to think about, anyway.

Oh wow, sorry, if I received a notification from this I didn't see it.

Good point, I should probably point out that this will only work currently with iCloud.

The component that loads note files is well enough encapsulated however to allow the notes folder to be changed in the Alfred workflow settings. Are you using Dropbox sync with NotePlan?

I'd be happy to make an update that lets you choose the notes folder if you like.

Thanks. I'm not using Dropbox, but might in the future. I was just noting the possibility, as some users will pick this in time.

Have just gone through the process of setting up a new work machine, and discovered that Dropbox has quietly added a paywall of 3 devices to their free plan.

Have used it for years, and would be happy to pay, but $16AUD/month?

Sorry, but I just migrated all my things from Dropbox to iCloud, which I was already paying $4.50/month for...

change this line in base.rb to the correct path for Dropbox: BASE_DIRECTORY = "#{ENV["HOME"]}/path/dropbox/noteplan/folder/here"

beet commented 4 years ago

Cheers, sounds like the base directory really should be user configurable.

jgclark commented 4 years ago

Yes please, Mark. I've had a look at updating the code, but I don't know enough Ruby to manage it. Apart from dropping Brad's note as comment in one file -- see pull request I've just submitted.

I've opened PR #16 to allow the base directory to be changed with a workflow environment variable, which should allow it to work with Dropbox, but I don't have it installed to try.
