6.5 Other Files and Subfolders

Within each collection folder you will find one file for each note in the collection, with the file name based closely on the note`s title (or Alternate Note ID).

In addition to the note files, the following special files and folders may be found within a collection folder.

• The Notes may be stashed away in a subfolder named notes. This sort of Collection is known as a Web Collection, because the top level is reserved for generated HTML files, perhaps created using mirroring. In this case, the files and folders described below will be found within the notes folder.

• Each Collection folder will contain a special file named ‘- INFO.nnk’. This is a plain text file, in Notenik format, containing some handy metadata about the Collection, such as the last sort sequence set for it. If you sync a Collection to other devices using a service such as iCloud or Dropbox, then this metadata will be synced as well.

• Each project folder will contain a special file named ‘- project-INFO.nnk’. This is a plain text file, in Notenik format, containing some handy metadata about the project folder pseudo-Collection, such as the last size and location of the Collection window.

• Each Collection folder will also contain a special file named - README.txt. This file simply identifies the folder as a Notenik Collection.

• Each Collection folder will normally also contain a template.txt or template.md file identifying the fields used within the Collection. The file extension specified for this Collection Template file will be used as the file extension for all Notes within the Collection.

• A file named alias.txt may also be present. This file contains information used to prevent wiki-style links from breaking when Notes are renamed.

• A file named display.css can be used to override the default CSS values used on the Display tab.

• A file named display.html can be used to override the HTML template used to generate the Display tab.

• A file named temp_display.html will be temporarily created if the Collection Settings Enable Local Image References is turned on.

• An add-ins folder may contain any additional .css and/or .js files to be loaded for the collection’s pages. Also see the copyaddins command.

• A class folder will contain any class template files created for the Collection.

• A css folder may contain multiple .css files, and the user may select any of them to be used via a Collection Setting.

• An export folder will contain any Export Scripts in use for the Collection.

• A files folder will contain any Attachments for the Collection.

• a mirror folder will contain templates, scripts and css used to mirror the collection to an alternate format (such as HTML).

• A reports sub-folder may contain a number of Merge Templates and/or Script files.
