3.7.1 experimental subfolders

Has anyone had any success enabling the experimental subfolders with iCloud?


I'm having trouble syncing in the app even though I have made changes in my org dir and I'm not sure if it is an issue with the feature or my unfamiliarity with iCloud syncing. I'm used to Dropbox.


One issue is that I can see my the directory "roam", but there are no files in it.


Matthew,


You mention that beorg is some way from being a note taking app.  Would it make sense to recommend one (or more) iPhone note taking apps that save files in the cloud and then provide an add-on program that picks up those files, fixes them up for (Be)org , and copies them into the beorg sync folder?

I have had reports from many people that this works fine. I've done some testing myself with this setup and not see any issues.

Confirming that it works here. Successfully able to use shortcuts that activate a-shell to push/pull a git repository when opening or closing either logseq or beorg. Logseq can look in its application folder for the pushed/pulled repo, and beorg can look in that folder too. Desktop emacs can run off its own copy and hook to push/pull from the repo as well, and all lines up.

Hey Matthew, I upgraded to 3.15.0 but no luck with subfolders yet. I see a single subfolder (it was there previously) but it's empty. I "unlink"ed and relinked with no changes. Is there something else I can try short of deleting/reinstall the app?


Thank you


Dmitry


@Matt, I played around with this a bit more:

1) I copied my notes folder on the iPhone. The result was the same. I can see the new notes tab, and files from the main notes folder. Sub folders and the notes therein are not visible.

2) I copied my notes to the berg folder on iCloud. Upon restarting the app, the sub folders magically appeared!


I hope there can be a way to run this on my original notes folder on iCloud.

I wonder if the sync icon on top right means anything?

I added two spaces now. Folders still not visible

@ashish That might be your problem. The source code block cannot be all on one line. Try:


 

#+begin_src scheme
  (set! sync-subfolders #t)
#+end_src

 

@ashish Doh! I was hoping that would be your easy-fix problem.


Just confirming you have the following in your init.org?


 

#+begin_src scheme
  (set! sync-subfolders #t)
#+end_src

 

@Matt the file name in my setup is init.org (screenshot attached)
@ashish when you created into.org did you type in “init.org” in the filename dialog box? If so, the “.org” extension is already added when you create a file. So it’s possible the file has a doubled .org extension. An easy way to check is by selecting “Files” at the bottom toolbar. Your files should just be names and not have the .org extension showed. Example in attached screenshot.
Thank you, I did kill the app and restart. But I’m unable to see my note sub folders or files inside them. The additional notes tab has appeared.

After adding this to your init.org make sure you restart beorg (i.e. kill from the app switcher and the run again). Hopefully that will resolve the issue.

Unable to get this to work on iCloud. I am using the choose folder sync method and added init.org with the following text: #+begin_src scheme (set! sync-subfolders #t) #+end_src

I have my notes files in folder "Org Roam" on iCloud. I added a new file init.org containing the following text:


#+begin_src scheme

(set! sync-subfolders #t)

#+end_src


I unlinked and linked the folder in the BeOrg app. But I do not see the subfolder files or tasks. Restarting the app does not help either.


Appreciate any help in making this work.
