Using the TabsOutliner converter #9
Comments
Hi @siliconmeadow . I'm glad you got the conversion to work. I realized after I uploaded the script that I can probably just host it as a page on braintool.org with a file upload and save. Your comments will come in useful for a final version. Some responses to your numbered comments below. Good luck with the rest of your journey. LMK how it goes. |
Hi @siliconmeadow , LMK if you get a chance to try it and see any issues. My plan is to pull this capability into the 1.0 version of BT so it works in-app where the keys and permissions are already handled. |
Thank you so much for creating that converter for TO @tconfrey.
I worked with it for an hour or two earlier this week and got a clean import. It did take quite a few goes at cleaning up the data and I'm not really a JS guy but am happy to learn a bit more to make it work more smoothly. Here are some of the things that I did to get it to work:
tree
file, so if you've got something wrong with your data it's hard to track down. I used thejq
util to pretty print the json file for me. Handy tool to have, if you've not tried it. And packages for most systems. Tip:const TabsOutlinerExport
was already set and I couldn't figure out how to clear or trash it.<title>
tag of this page https://github.com/consolidation/cgr it's got backticks so I removed those manually, washed, rinsed, repeat.BrainTool.org
file. I don't know what is up with this laptop and my GDrive account but it would make a newBrainTool.org
file, and keep the one I used but turn it into a GDoc or something. Very strange. Probably something to do with Gnome and the way it's connected to Gdrive. I've not tried it out on my Mac or booted this laptop into Windows yet to see if it's something to do with that. What did work, in the end, was installing InSync which I'm ambivalent about.The TO tree I imported has 761 entries in it - it's the one on my personal account. My work account has about 1200+ but needs some pruning and does get pruned regularly as I group together windows based on Jira tickets I'm working on and I regularly clear out stuff at ends of sprints and/or projects.
Since I've got so much data in BrainDump here now, I'll have to spend a lot of time thinking about how I'm going to tag and organise it better now!
Thanks again.
