Open in new tab, sorting, embedding, separators and other "improvements"

Vincent, I’m afraid that you will need to create new Dynalist just for yourself - your ideas for changing things are never ending :slight_smile: This time I’m prepared - you can change colors in stylish :stuck_out_tongue:
.Node .showXItems-wrapper { border: 1px solid #000; color: #000; } .Node .showXItems-wrapper:hover { border: 1px solid #000; color: #000; }

As for other suggestions - it’s impossible with my implementation, and I don’t know if this is even possible at all with the way in which DL treats items in DOM, but anyway, I unfortunately don’t have time to reimplement things which are already working in the way I need.

I am both impressed and frightened at the specificity of your workflows, Vincent :slight_smile:

Hi Piotr: I received your response regarding the basics of installing the Powerpack over at the GreasyFork.org. So I am transferring my communications over here so that you’ll get the messages quick. For the record, you had responded as follows:

Hi, sorry, I didn’t get any notification about your question.
Scripts like this one are working only in browsers. You need first install extension for your browser, one from the list on homepage https://greasyfork.org/
After that you need to click green install button here https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/30048-dynalist-powerpack
If script is installed you need to click icon in top left corner in your Dynalist document (please see Youtube video from https://dynalist.io/d/pTUCqlG4v4dv_5D1bK03Bz4P to see what I’m talking about)

Themes from userstyles should not interfere with that, I’m using my own theme and everything is fine.

I will follow your instructions. thanks!

Hi! Have you tried to install it? It worked?

btw piotr, this is the sort function I’m starting to use the most often (Also, because it is useful in most applications in dynalist)

#[sort|by:created|order:asc]]

change this to desc as needed

#[sort|by:created|order:desc]]

I organize problems by when I first get them, so this makes sense for me. But sometimes I’m adding notes near top of list, or sometimes at bottom. Normally I’m looking at two-three different docs on my 24" vertical monitor, so sometimes these notes will be at the bottom of screen, other times at top (Varies depending how long / complex each child bulletpoint topic is)

but since I can just sort everything afterward this lets me take notes either way (from top of list or at bottom)

The sort never changes like #[sort:by:edited] so there’s a lot of consistency to sorting by created date

example of what i mean by notes:

e.g

✪ project/course lists
✪✪ course 1 / project 1
✪✪ reference manual that’s like 10 pages long
✪✪ course 2 / project 2

This way I can take notes for either project / course and add items to reference manual simply by scrolling up or down, adding items to the manual from top or bottom, sort by created later

New version & new feature: Add / Remove bookmark for currently active/selected/edited item with shortcut


installation / update: https://greasyfork.org/scripts/30048-dynalist-powerpack

guides and examples: https://dynalist.io/d/pTUCqlG4v4dv_5D1bK03Bz4P


Press shortcut (set it first in PowerPack settings :wink: ) while your cursor is on item (or when item/tree is selected) and

  • if this item wasn’t bookmarked, the bookmark will be created and titled automatically (you will only see notification popup on top-right, bookmark pane will not be opened if it is not already open)
  • if this item was already bookmarked, the bookmark will be deleted without any confirmation box, you will see notification popup in top-right corner

This is wonderful and really helpful for me, thank you for all your hard work Piotr!!

I hate to reply to every new version with another request, but do you think there could be a similar shortcut to grab the link of the currently editing item (without pop up) at some point too (no rush, take a rest!!)? :slight_smile:

Hi, not yet. I use the dark theme. At some point in the discussion, I’m sort of remembering that it doesn’t work out very well for dark themes? If so, I might change to light theme.

It doesn’t matter what theme you’re using, I’m testing it in all themes, and I’m using custom dark theme myself https://userstyles.org/styles/142560/dark-colorful-dynalist

What browser are you using? Have you installed Tampermonkey extension in your browser? Have you installed this script https://greasyfork.org/scripts/30048-dynalist-powerpack with Tampermonkey? I don’t know on which step you are :slight_smile:

Say hello to our 10th feature! Duplicate item with/without children with shortcut


installation / update: https://greasyfork.org/scripts/30048-dynalist-powerpack

guides and examples: https://dynalist.io/d/pTUCqlG4v4dv_5D1bK03Bz4P


You don’t need to select (ctrl+a, shift+up/down, etc.) item, cursor somewhere in content is enough to duplicate it.

Update in duplication feature

before: even when multiple items were selected, only the first one was duplicated
now: it’s possible to duplicate multiple items, both with and without children

Piotr awesome stuff as ever :smiley:

By the way, is this feature possible? I would use it all the time

  1. CTRL+SHIFT+M (or some shortcut) → move an item
  2. Pick a location
  3. Automatically grab the link of the item I just moved
  4. Automatically Paste the link where the item was just moved from

If this could be implemented this would be a huge game changer for me :stuck_out_tongue:

it seems the duplicate feature + grab node link handles the functions it needs, but one seperate feature for this would be nice

probably

Thanks to your script, I’m consolidating more documents and using bookmarks. But I’ve hit an issue about the order of the bookmarks. It seems not possible to order them manually and they don’t seem to be ordered alphabetically. Are they ordered according to when they were added? If so, it is possible to have them ordered alphabetically, or according to their position in the document?
Much appreciated.
