I was using bike 1.0 for a while and using tags like @due and @project and @person, for example. I just renewed my license for bike 2.0 and migrating my file over. Am I right to assume that now attributes are the new language and way to accomplish what I was doing before?
I don’t see the built-in queries on the side anymore, and it’s not clear how to add them. I’m pretty sure it’s in the forum somewhere, but can someone help point me in the right direction?
On the note of tasks, I was using @done. I’ve converted my file to bike markdown format, and I currently don’t see those rows recognized as tasks. Is there an easy way to convert them?
Thanks!
Bike 1.0 never really had any support for tags that I remember? I guess you were just using TaskPaper syntax as a convention?
Yes, attributes/badges is the Bike way to do those things. At some point I expect that I’ll also add inline tags to Bike (so you could type #fun) and then click on it and find everything else that was fun. But for row attributes with values the attribute/badge system is what you should use.
In the sidebar right-click on the “Queries” heading and you’ll get option to create a “New Filter”.
Bike 1.x had tasks/checkboxes, you were not using those? So for example this is Bike 1:
If you open those in Bike 2 they will look the same. If you then save them as Markdown they will look like this in markdown file:
- [ ] one
- [ ] two
- [x] three
If instead you were just using convention of typing @done at end of row there isn’t a built in way to convert those to checked tasks, but generally you would prepend - [x] to each task.
Hope that helps!
Thanks @jessegrosjean ! I’m so sorry, I realize now the source of my confusion. You’re right, I was using TaskPaper, but got it mixed up in my head with Bike. That’s why nothing was making sense
