# kdenote

KDE integration plugins for [Denote](https://protesilaos.com/emacs/denote) notes.

## Features

- **Baloo extractor** — Indexes denote metadata (title, tags, creation date, signature) into Baloo. Enables Dolphin search, KRunner, and Baloo queries over your notes. Supports frontmatter extraction from Markdown, Org-mode, and plain text files.
- **New Denote File...** — Dolphin context menu action (right-click a directory). Creates a new note with the correct denote filename and frontmatter. Choose format: Markdown, Org-mode, or Plain Text.
- **Rename with Denote...** — Dolphin context menu action (right-click a non-denote file). Generates a denote-conformant filename, renames atomically, and injects/updates frontmatter.
- **Compound extension support** — Handles `.md.gpg`, `.org.age`, etc.
- **i18n** — Translatable UI. German translation included.

## Building

```sh
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DBUILD_TESTING=ON
make
ctest
sudo make install
```

### Dependencies

- Qt 6
- KDE Frameworks 6 (ECM, KFileMetaData, KIO, WidgetsAddons, I18n)
- C++20 compiler

## Configuration

No configuration required. The plugins activate based on filename pattern recognition — any file whose name starts with a denote identifier (`YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS`) is recognized, regardless of directory.

If Baloo already indexes your home directory (the default), the extractor works immediately. To reindex existing notes after install:

```sh
balooctl index /path/to/your/notes
```

## Denote filename format

```
YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS[==signature]--slugified-title[__tag1_tag2].ext
```

Examples:
- `20240315T120000--my-daily-note__journal_daily.md`
- `20240315T120000==1a--project-plan__work.org`
- `20260712T153000--encrypted-note__private.md.gpg`
