RedNotebook

Notebooks are only in /home/<user>/YYYY-MM.txt

Asked by Chris Miller

Hi Folks,

RedNoteBook looks to be exactly what I have been seeking for many years. I understand that a "notebook" is a directory of stuff, and therefore I can have lots of notebooks. However, I can't create a notebook anywhere but /home/... and it is not a directory! Regardless of what directory I select, the YYYY-MM.txt file is always saved in /home/<user>/YYYY-MM.txt. I tired to move it and open it in the new location, but RN doesn't see it in the new location. I've read what I can find, but this is such a basic discrepancy between my understanding and RN observed behavior, that it must be something glaringly obvious.

Can anybody help me out?

Thanks for the help,

Chris.

Hi Folks,

I discovered /home/<user>/.rednotebook/rednotebook.cfg and "dataDir" therein. I also learned (rednotbook --help) that I can put a journal entry on the command line.

Everything works fine.

Thanks for the help,

Chris.

You should be able to create a new journal folder from within
RedNotebook, without the need of editing the config file. Other users
have had trouble doing so as well, so there might be a bug here. Can you
please report if creating new journals works in RedNotebook 1.6 once
it's released? You might want to subscribe to
