Thank you for your suggestions.
You can ask @Maboroshy about his script in #524 to achieve your first wish.

@dxerw, what OS do you use?

Thank you for the reply @pbek! I am currently using Windows 7 @Maboroshy mate :)

Then I should put more effort into making that script windows compatible... 😉

Messing third evening with script.startDetachedProcess and script.startSynchronousProcess to rename files in Windows with no avail. 😲 All I've got is some cmd windows with "invalid file path" flashing. And I thought making it work in Linux was pain...

I wonder if whole process scripting thing was tested in Windows. C++ code has some fine tuning for OSX but nothing for Windows. Not sure how it deals with "\" vs "/" issue.

Yes, maybe your paths have "/" in it? Qt uses "/" under Windows. (I learned that the hard and painful way)

I've tried fullFileName.replace("/","\\") with no success.

Also in Windows you can't just do move "file1" "file2", it has no "move" binary, cause it's a cmd internal command. And that means my binary is cmd and move "file1" "file2" is a one of it's arguments. And that means I must assemble it by myself with all the quoting hell it makes... And people think bash quoting is pain...

What if you would write a batch file that does the job and call that... (like I did for the Windows updater)

I think batch file is an overkill for that simple task. I'll better wait till there'll be a full-featured "create note" scripting function and "delete note" function. 😉
Windows stuff is pulling too much time, so I'll go with Linux-only for now. Maybe some "detach process guru" will make it work. It's Github after all.

When are you learning C++ and Qt? ;)

When there'll be some functionality I really want that can be made only on C++.
For now bash is enough... well, 1000 lines of bash. 😬

Maybe you want to switch to Python? :)

I really want to, even completed some online courses. But when I have free evening for hacking, which is not often these days, it's either starting something from scratch on Python, with months till it become something cool, or putting more features to my script on bash.

I guess I just don't have a good idea for some completely new project and have many ideas for Bash-note. I really use most of its features every day and with QOwnNotes scripting I can make it do almost anything as the back-end with QOwnNotes being the front-end.

That also sounds wonderful! 👏

+1 for all the suggestions here (Windows 10). The pin note feature is the one I loved in ResophNotes.
