Feature Request - Append to Note about alfred-bear HOT 7 CLOSED

Can you give me an example of what that syntax would look like? I'm having trouble imagining how that would work.

Hi,
I use the Alfred Drafts workflow and it works really well in this respect.

Drafts Workflow

It would be great if you could replicate something similar ideally with the ability to have a couple of different lists

from alfred-bear.

I took a look but it is still not clear to me what syntax you could use to both specify a note title and specify a bullet, especially onto different notes. It looks like the workflow you linked to just appends everything to a single unnamed document.

How would that work?

from alfred-bear.

I think something like badd note-name note-content would work best.

There would obviously have to be a means of setting up the UUID for that note (happy to be in the back end of the workflow) and it would be great to have the ability to have multiple notes (again personally I would be happy to duplicate accordingly in the workflow and replace the UUID)

Thanks

EDIT: I am happy for this just to append, but I'm sure there are many use cases for prepend functionality too

That possible syntax had already occurred to me. But the problem I don't think you are seeing is that it is ambiguous. If you enter

badd quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

The system can't know know if you are adding:

• brown fox jumps over the lazy dog to note quick
• fox jumps over the lazy dog to note quick brown
• jumps over the lazy dog to note quick brown fox
• over the lazy dog to note quick brown fox jumps
• the lazy dog to note quick brown fox jumps over
• lazy dog to note quick brown fox jumps over the
  ...

If you have any two notes with overlapping names in those note title possibilities, there is literally no way to disambiguate. Further still if you allow badd to create new notes. And I can't even begin to imagine an unambiguous syntax for adding bullets to multiple notes.

from alfred-bear.

I think it could work with a delineator like a | for example. From my use case as I mentioned before I don't this would be adding to every available note, but just to be able to add to one or two notes like a todo list and another bulleted list

from alfred-bear.

I think this type of feature is out of scope for this workflow. I suggest creating a new workflow, possibly collaborating with the author of #20.
