Misc Questions

[GaryFurash]

1. Where can we ask questions. Issues seems more like it's for things that are broken.
2. How do you use TAGS. I've made some, but have no idea how to associate them with anything.
3. Is there a way to import existing files and stuff that was not created by Laverna?
4. Can I just send someone money through PayPal. I don't want to create a bitcoin account.
5. Thanks

1. You can ask questions on Twitter (@lavernaApp), IRC (#laverna), Gitter, or email
2. You can create or attach tags by using hashtags. For example, if you write in a note #laverna, it will attach a tag (in this case laverna). If a tag doesn't exist, it will automatically create it.
3. Right now there is no mechanism to import files not created in the app itself, but in the future we may add it.
4. Unfortunately we can't accept donates through Paypal.
   If you want to donate to accelerate the overall development of the project, you can do it on our Salt page on BountySource.
   If you want to accelerate the development of a particular issue, you can post a bounty on BountySource.
5. Thank you for your interest in Laverna!

I had the same question about tags and fortunately found the the answer here. Twitter etc. are not really useful for "tips and tricks"; I would suggest the wiki. Agree?

@tjadevries , Yes, you are right. We really need to document everything... We will try to do that if/when we have some free time.

FAQ

Where can we ask questions?

You can ask questions on Twitter (@lavernaApp), IRC (#laverna), Gitter, or email

How do you use TAGS?

You can create or attach tags by using hashtags. For example, if you write in a note #mytag, it will attach a tag (in this case mytag). If a tag doesn't exist, Laverna will automatically create it.

How do you use TASKS?

Tasks can be created like this:

[ ] my todo

Is there a way to import existing files and stuff that was not created by Laverna?

Right now there is no mechanism to import files not created in the app itself, but in the future we may add it.

Can I just send someone money through PayPal?

Unfortunately we can't accept donates through Paypal. If you want to donate to accelerate the overall development of the project, you can do it on our Salt page on BountySource. If you want to accelerate the development of a particular issue, you can post a bounty on BountySource.

How to generate a complete translation file?

Suppose you want to work on the french translation. This is a way to find the difference :

cat en/translation.json| cut -d: -f1>/tmp/en.txt
cat fr/translation.json| cut -d: -f1>/tmp/fr.txt
diff /tmp/en.txt /tmp/fr.txt

Is it possible to reset the encryption key?

No, it's not possible to reset encryption password without knowing the password.

How to remove everything and start over?

1. Clean your cache
2. Remove IndexedDB database; in the browser, enter this in the javascript console: indexedDB.deleteDatabase('notes-db'), in the app you remove the database folder, which is here: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Chromium\Laverna on Windows and here: ~/.config/chromium/laverna on Linux.

Why can't I recover data from cloud storage after switching to another browser?

Did you import your settings? It doesn't sync encryption settings to cloud storages. You have to export them from your first browser and then import them to the other.

How to use the offline modus on mobile devices?

There is no "official" mobile solution, but you can build the mobile application yourself. Hopefully we will eventually release a mobile build ourselves when we feel that it is ready.

Can I use https://laverna.cc/dropbox.html link in Dropbox App Panel to use Sync on my own shared hosting?

Unfortunately if you are using it on your own shared hosting, you will not be able to use https://laverna.cc/dropbox.html as confirmation link. You should setup SSL certificate on your server. It can be self-signed certificate if you want to make things simple.
