Hi everyone,
I have what is probably a silly problem with an easy solution, but I really can’t figure it out.
I’ve been keeping reference notes and permanent notes in the same directory, and initially differentiating between the two by adding “paper_” or “book_” preceding a reference note.
I’ve since started trying to use ROAM_TAGS (because obviously that makes way more sense…) but after adding a #+ROAM_TAGS: bib after the #+title: line, I can no longer find the file using org-roam-find-file. The file is no longer matched, and if I type in the full title into the minibuffer, it just creates a new note with that title.
When I delete the ROAM_TAGS line, the note becomes accessible once again with org-roam-find-file. Does anyone have any clue as to what is going on here? Roam tags seem super useful and I’d love to get this sorted out.
Thank you!
Did you try searching with prefix “bib” or “(bib)” — without the double quotation marks?
Well, the problem isn’t that the tag doesn’t work, it’s that I can no longer open that file using M-x org-roam-find-file after adding a tag to it.
@nobiot Ok, I tried what you suggested and I now understand. Thank you! I think I just didn’t fully understand the behaviour of the roam_tags, and expected to be able to access the file by name the same way as I had before. The files are now visible, but only after I precede the file name with “(bib)”
@ewag, for what is worth, I’m attaching a GIF to show how org-roam-find-file behaves on my PC. As you can see, I don’t have to “precede the file name with” a “(tag)” – in this example, I added a “test” as a tag to the first note you see.
I suspect the difference of behaviour between mine and yours may be related to the “completion engine”. I use Ivy.
