# kdenote

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

## Components

- **Baloo extractor** — KFileMetaData plugin that indexes denote file metadata (title, tags, date, signature) so Dolphin search, KRunner, and Baloo queries work on your notes.
- **Dolphin context menu** — "Rename with Denote..." action for files that don't yet conform to the denote naming scheme.
- **Shared library** — Denote filename parsing/building and frontmatter handling (YAML/Org/txt), used by both plugins.

## Building

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

### Dependencies

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

## Configuration

If Baloo already indexes your home directory (the default), no configuration is needed — the extractor plugin activates automatically on the next index pass.

To immediately 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`
