Poster for Emacs: exclude directories in Denote's Org dynamic blocks

About this film

In this ~10-minute video I demonstrate an in-development feature of Denote. It is the ability to exclude directories and their files from the output of Org dynamic blocks on a per-block basis. This gives users more flexibility with how they make sense of their knowledge base. About Denote Denote is a simple note-taking tool for Emacs. It is based on the idea that notes should follow a predictable and descriptive file-naming scheme. The file name must offer a clear indication of what the note is about, without reference to any other metadata. Denote basically streamlines the creation of such files while providing facilities to link between them. Denote’s file-naming scheme is not limited to “notes”. It can be used for all types of file, including those that are not editable in Emacs, such as videos. Naming files in a consistent way makes their filtering and retrieval considerably easier. Denote provides relevant facilities to rename files, regardless of file type.
