set a sub directory for bibtex notes? #135

Closed cryoguy closed 3 years ago

cryoguy commented 3 years ago

Is it possible to set a sub-directory under org-roam-directory for the bibtex notes, like the one for org-roam-dailies-directory? or simply respect the setting in org-ref or helm-bibtex.

myshevchuk commented 3 years ago

It's not possible to respect the settings of org-ref or helm-bibtex, because the underlying mechanism is different. However, a sub-directory can be easily set in the templates, just put the name of your subdir followed by a slash:

(setq orb-templates 
            ...
            :file-name "sub-dir/${citekey}"
           ...)

The third time I'm kindly asking you to ask questions on Slack or Discourse I don't have capacity to answer them here.

It's the last time I'm answering your question. Unless you file a bug report or a feature request, all your questions on GitHub will be ignored.

Thanks for the answer, and the warning. will do. Great package! but IMHO, the README can be improved.

myshevchuk commented 3 years ago

Please take no offence. As the README says, the package is still alpha with all the consequences. I'm working on the manual that will cover usage in detail. By the way, the question about subdirectories has been asked and answered several times already, on Discord and Slack. These are community resources and there are a lot of users willing to help and discuss their workflows. If I don't have to answer questions that have already been answered, I'll have more time to write the manual.
