kdenote

KDE integration plugins for 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

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:

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
