keywords, topics, categories, tags ... they are all a bit fungible. I've decided to define their meaning as follows:
- categories are hierarchical
- tags are for "resources required to address the task", like people, places and situations
- topics and keywords are attributes of any task and act as tags normally do in other systems
yup, indeed. It is a question of each own idiosyncrasy | 19:47:16 |
 John Wiegley | Even "each own idiosyncrasy" of me and my past selves :) | 19:47:46 |
| John Wiegley | I wonder if I'll even be using the same scheme next year... | 19:47:58 |

I wonder if I'll even be using the same scheme next year... I still have a couple of habits, slowly transferring tasks and files from old schemes | 19:48:33 |
| John Wiegley | btw, I haven't had any issues with 9.7 after turning off element persistance | 19:48:36 |
| yantar92 (Org contributor) | Like there is a habit spanning the last few years to transfer files under org-attach | 19:48:52 |
| John Wiegley | I decided to stop using org-attach | 19:49:08 |
| John Wiegley | I use to be split between using org-attach for things related to tasks, and DEVONthink (a document database) for everything else. Now I use DEVONthink for all static content, and then I link my Org-mode tasks to it using its scheme for universally unique URLs | 19:49:57 |

| John Wiegley | no, those live in =~/src= or =~/work= | 19:51:49 |
| John Wiegley | now, I do use org-attach still for attached images | 19:52:09 |
| John Wiegley | I love org-download for that | 19:52:18 |
| John Wiegley | because if I put them in DEVONthink, I have a stable link, but I don't get to see the image inline | 19:52:37 |

I love org-download for that yank-media is not supported natively ;) | 19:52:38 |

I love org-download for that * yank-media is now supported natively ;) | 19:52:43 |
| John Wiegley | oh nice!! | 19:52:48 |
| John Wiegley | I should definitely try that | 19:52:52 |
| yantar92 (Org contributor) | and you can attach a file from URL since long time ago | 19:53:25 |
| yantar92 (Org contributor) | In reply to @jwwiegley:matrix.org
I should definitely try that also, you can always set :DIR: property to something like ./ to treat current directory as attachment directory | 19:54:04 |
| yantar92 (Org contributor) | In reply to @jwwiegley:matrix.org
because if I put them in DEVONthink, I have a stable link, but I don't get to see the image inline I have a custom att-id:<ID>:file link type to link to arbitrary attachments under different heading. That's also stable | 19:55:09 |
| John Wiegley | the URL looks like this: x-devonthink-item://F882AF53-B002-4C13-BC41-7A923F1AC372 | 19:55:12 |
| yantar92 (Org contributor) | for stable urls, there is also https://github.com/novoid/Memacs/blob/master/docs/memacs_filenametimestamps.org | 19:56:08 |
| John Wiegley | I guess another stable pattern would be to rename the file "<ID>_<TITLE>.<EXT>" in my org-attach directory. Since my org entries might move between files in different directories, using ./ is not stable. | 19:56:33 |

I guess another stable pattern would be to rename the file "<ID>_<TITLE>.<EXT>" in my org-attach directory. Since my org entries might move between files in different directories, using ./ is not stable. sure. My example was for very specific case - I was preparing slides | 19:57:06 |
| yantar92 (Org contributor) | in a separate org file | 19:57:14 |
| John Wiegley | oh, derp, org-attach is already stable: it uses <ID>/<TITLE> | 19:57:34 |
 Aad Versteden | John Wiegley: I use an org-roam file for a category. What do you use for this and how do you query for anything within the hierarchy? | 19:57:41 |
| yantar92 (Org contributor) | Re: linter
I wish we can eventually (1) make org-lint more extendable by users; (2) integrate it with flycheck/flymake | 19:57:52 |
| John Wiegley | Aad Versteden: For me, each Org-roam file is either a note, or a place to capture notes and tasks. There are usually several such files per category, such as work or Org-mode. | 19:58:42 |

Aad Versteden: For me, each Org-roam file is either a note, or a place to capture notes and tasks. There are usually several such files per category, such as work or Org-mode. Do you use tags to indicate the category? I'm interested to know what technique you use to query any item within that hierarchy. It could be tags and code to represent the hierarchy or something else. I struggle to query the hierarchy in my current setup. | 20:00:48 |
