It works with images, audio or pretty much any kind of file.
This is a more generic Workflow that captures anything and saves it to my Reference folder.

Archive and Link Any File in Rich Plain Text The file link doesn’t work in Editorial to directly preview, but it does work in nvALT. The Markdown link includes the original URL as well as the relative file reference to the PDF. The result is a Markdown style link on the clipboard, ready to insert into a document.

It captures the content of the article as a PDF and uploads it to my Reference directory. This can be triggered from any application with a URL. Here’s an extension for the Workflow app for iOS. Sometimes I want to reference a website with more than just a URL. Web Page Archive Capture in Rich Plain Text I’m considering a third option for uploading a clipboard object, but there are few ocassions that have required this functionality. I want to make sure I review all my photos and add them to my library for family viewing. I’m waffling between storing photos along with my other reference material, but I’d really like to set a distinction between reference material and photos. It’s based on an existing Editorial workflow with some minor modifications. Here’s an Editorial worklow that captures an image from the camera or the camera roll, adds it to an Images directory and then inserts a Markdown image link. There’s no reason this can not be done just as well with Markdown through capture and then placement of an image link. The primary way I’ve used Evernote over the years has been to capture an image and add some extra (and searchable) text. Several of these use the new Workflow.app so consider this my review of that app too. There’s not much to do here for display purposes, so I spent my time working on tools to capture images directly into Editorial. As long as the referenced file is downloaded already, Editorial can display the Markdown image link in it’s preview. Editorial already has support for relative file paths. Of course this solution relies on Editorial for iOS. This works with any file in subdirectories of my “ Notes” folder too.

If it can’t split it and get the relative link, it returns the original full path of the file and puts it on the clipboard. The script tries to split the file path and look for anything after the folder name /Notes/. The meat of the workflow is a very “basic” Python script. I created a new workflow that operates on a single file at a time that is triggered off of the keyword fileref. Getting the relative file path is easy with Alfred. So, if I want to see the rich note with images in place, I just preview the Markdown. Marked.app also handles this perfectly with no special customization. Found the energy to build a fort.īecause nvALT is indistinguishable from magic, I can use this reference from Brett Terpstra to modify the preview template in nvALT so that the Markdown image links render from the relative path When I want to embed an image inside of a Markdown note, I use the standard image link notation and reference the relative path to the Reference folder inside my note directory.
I use most of my notes through nvALT on my Mac. Inside Reference I put anything that I want to use inside a Markdown note.
My folder structure looks like /Dropbox/Notes/Reference/. 1 The key is to store the images in a sub-directory of my active note collection in Dropbox. When my myopia subsided I’d developed a simple and multi-platform method of creating rich text notes using Markdown. It seemed impossible to reproduce this in a simple and flexible way, mostly because I was focused on the complexity of Evernote instead of the simplicity of Markdown. I liked the ability to put an image in a note and add some context that was also searchable. The hardest thing to replace was the Evernote rich text combination of images and text.
But there’s still images, PDFs and even the occasional generic file. It’s been a long time since I’ve used it on a daily basis so I decided it was probably time to finish my transition off of the platform.įor 90% of my stuff I have either plain text files or Pinboard bookmarks. Nothing against Evernote, but it’s just not on a trajectory I like anymore.
