02:46:51 - unknown@example.com: Hi; 02:47:34 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Hello!; 02:47:50 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Thank you for reaching out, hoping you're having a wonderful Monday; 02:47:54 - unknown@example.com: Hi Yanya, Louis Kim here.; 02:47:56 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: How can I help you?; 02:47:57 - unknown@example.com: Thank you; 02:48:50 - unknown@example.com: I'm not sure if I noticed it before but when I delete a note for a thought, the yellow note icon below the thought will disappear as expected but in a few seconds reappears. Is this a known bug?; 02:49:10 - unknown@example.com: Here's a video showing the behavior - https://photos.app.goo.gl/sks1q4DefFx2DP8W7; 02:49:17 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Let me take a look into it; 02:51:20 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Louise, thank you for that video, it spoke a thousand words even though you haven't uttered any. I can see what happened.; 02:51:34 - unknown@example.com: Great; 02:51:37 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: I will conduct some tests from my end trying to replicate it as well, please give me a moment; 02:51:43 - unknown@example.com: Super; 02:53:56 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: I was able to replicate it, I did notice something, just like in your vid, I kept an extra line (enter) below,; 02:54:02 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Checking the notesmd file; 02:54:18 - unknown@example.com: Ok; 02:54:59 - unknown@example.com: In the Brain forums, someone reports something similar back around 2018 (I believe) but fix involves a menu item that is not available in the current version.; 02:55:05 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Okay, still doing another test to make sure my assumption is right; 02:58:38 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Thank you for your patience Louis; 02:58:50 - unknown@example.com: No problem. I'm multitasking.; 02:59:04 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Yes, was able to replicate and test this thoroughly, it appears to be a bug.; 02:59:20 - unknown@example.com: OK! I like it when I'm not imagining things.; 02:59:38 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: When I check the notes.md file of the thought that supposedly has nothing, it shows a bunch of spaces and new lines (enter key); 02:59:55 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: That is why it shows a note icon when there shouldn't be one; 02:59:57 - unknown@example.com: Aah; 03:00:04 - unknown@example.com: What is the notes.md file; 03:00:20 - unknown@example.com: Is that just a text file associated with a thought that would be exported?; 03:00:35 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: That is the containing folder of the thought, so anything you write or attachments or pictures in the notes section of the thought is stored there; 03:00:36 - unknown@example.com: Is that accessible with ctrl+F?; 03:00:51 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: You can access it with ctrl + shift + F; 03:00:56 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Give it a try; 03:01:23 - unknown@example.com: I see it; 03:02:19 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: That's awesome, I think I might have written this bug up before, just a moment please, checking; 03:02:24 - unknown@example.com: I see it; 03:03:14 - unknown@example.com: I edited the notes.md file and deleted the extra space and line but it didn't remove the icon.; 03:03:25 - unknown@example.com: I wonder what would happen if I deleted the notes.md file?; 03:03:54 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Curiosity kills the cat, they say. Allow me to test that haha; 03:04:10 - unknown@example.com: I feel danger; 03:04:26 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: I mean, if the brain ever crashes on my end = great news since I can document and fix it; 03:06:20 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Eureka!; 03:06:49 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: You can safely delete the notes.md file. Deleting it actually removes the notes icon, just as we intended it to work; 03:07:09 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: That in itself should be a sort-of workaround for the bug; 03:07:33 - unknown@example.com: OK!; 03:07:45 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Louis, thank you so much for bringing this up to our attention; 03:07:58 - unknown@example.com: No problem. Long time brain user.; 03:08:15 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: We really appreciate your effort and feedback for improvement; 03:08:18 - unknown@example.com: I have another question that is likely outside your experience.; 03:08:26 - unknown@example.com: Most people's experience.; 03:08:37 - unknown@example.com: Have you heard of the Zettlekasten method? ; 03:08:42 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: It's fine, fire away, what drives your curiosity; 03:08:52 - unknown@example.com: And if so, any references how it's been implemented with TB.; 03:09:10 - unknown@example.com: I've seen a few forum posts and one video but the treatment was light.; 03:09:25 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Oh ... that reminds me, that's that german word for notebox; 03:09:43 - unknown@example.com: That's right; 03:09:47 - unknown@example.com: Famous notetaking method; 03:10:21 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Yes, I heard of it, and we also had Omer Aziz demo one of his brains about it; 03:10:41 - unknown@example.com: Is that on video?; 03:10:57 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Yes, let me share the link; 03:13:36 - unknown@example.com: Also I just entered into notes 20240103 0740 and TB created a hyperlink as a phone number. How do I undo that?; 03:14:00 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Try ctrl + Z, it should undo the hyperlink addition; 03:15:05 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Weird, I think I forgot the specific brain that had the Zettelkasten. I will check with the others about it,; 03:15:08 - unknown@example.com: Hmm when I do that it's deleting the las digit; 03:15:30 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Let me take a look,; 03:19:59 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: I got something; 03:23:42 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Head over to Options (in the top left toolbar) > Preferences > Notes Editor > Uncheck "Recognize emails and phone numbers"; 03:24:32 - unknown@example.com: Got it; 03:26:52 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: I found it too: https://app.thebrain.com/brain/7d3c9a3a-a873-480d-9aa0-154c317523ff/138771c4-e59a-4adc-b014-e6da9b01e2ea; 03:29:50 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: You can get the .brz of the brain here: https://www.thebrain.com/blog/Omers-GTD; 03:30:59 - unknown@example.com: Great; 03:31:06 - unknown@example.com: Is Omer an employee of TB?; 03:31:31 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Nope, he is featured as a special guest\; 03:33:39 - unknown@example.com: I'll be curious about GTD. I've sort of been spokesperson for them.; 03:36:15 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: That's interesting, I believe we have other webinars/blogs related to it; 03:37:09 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Found one that might be of interest to you: https://www.thebrain.com/blog/coffee-with-justin; 03:42:36 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Alright, I have documented the bug, will have it looked into soon; 03:46:51 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: Anything else I can help you with?; 03:50:13 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: :); 03:51:08 - ysuratwala@thebrain.com: If not then I wish you a wonderful week ahead!
