Qownnotes: Allow creation of note by clicking on non-legacy note-link if link is broken

Created on 19 Apr 2020  路  7Comments  路  Source: pbek/QOwnNotes

It would be nice if there was a way to allow the creation of the note if a non-legacy note link is broken (like it works with note://note-name links in #736).

Of course this is a lot more complex.

Links like [Deep-Note](a%20sub%20folder%202%2Fdfolder%202%2FDeep-Note2.md) are currently (rightfully) detected as external files if the linked note doesn't exist in the current note folder (detected in Note::fileUrlIsNoteInCurrentNoteFolder).

And beside the note name of course the correct sub-folder also needs to be detected (maybe even optionally created?). Extra warnings are needed if sub-folders are disabled for the current note-folder.

Where will be the note created? you mean new note?

Yes, the new note would (should) be created in the sub-folder the link points to.

@fnkabit, that would also be a nice feature in case you are looking for more. 馃榿

@pbek Thanks! Will look into this one next.

Hehe, awesome! 馃帀 I hoped you would "bite". 馃榾

20.10.8

  • you can now choose to create the note of broken note links when you Ctrl + Click
    on the note in the note text edit (for #1698, thank you @fnkabit)

20.10.9

  • you can now also choose to create the note of broken note links when clicking
    on the note in the note preview (for #1698, thank you @fnkabit)

    • if note subfolders are disabled for your note folder you will now also get

      a proper error message when trying to create notes in subfolders
