Fsnotes: Attachment of picture and pdf

[jakemkc]

Hi,

I am using Fsnotes 2.9.5 (240) on MacOS 10.14.4. I have 2 questions related to putting attachment to notes.

1) After I created a new note and pasted a *.png file in the note, I can see the note file was created in the storage location through Finder, and also an "i" folder with the renamed *.png in it.

However, if I delete the note, only the corresponding *.md file was deleted in the storage location. The associated image in the "i" folder is still there. Is there a setting I can adjust to delete them at the same time? Over time the "i" folder could be full of junk and it's hard to manually clean it.

2) If I repeat the same as what I did in #1 but attaching a *.pdf instead, I can see the 1st page pdf preview in the "note" view of that note (i.e. the middle column) and the *.pdf being renamed and copied into the "i" folder, but I don't see anything in the note corresponding to the pdf (i.e. the right column). May I ask is pdf attachment supported?

Thanks!
Jake

Concerning your first point, you might want to try out the textbundle container option (only available in fsnotes v3, see the releases). Using textbundles, the attachments are stored together with the note inside a container, instead of being stored in the "i" folder. Deleting a note then deletes the whole container.

It looks like spotlight can't see the text inside *.textbundle.

Is there a way to make it searchable?

@jakemkc use this QuickLook plugin https://github.com/ttscoff/MMD-QuickLook

@gingerbeardman thanks for the link. Tried that but apparently it's not working anymore (at least in Mojave. quicklook can't see its content, spotlight can't search bundle content).

Perhaps I should stick with the "i" folder way.
