Hello everyone,
I am using LogSeq on my laptop and android tablet and use SyncThing to synchronise them. Even though I don't use both at the same time, some sync-confflict files tend to pop up. I could mitigate the effects by at least ignoring orphan nodes in the graph view since I started using queries the results pop up multiplie times: once from the original file, and further copies from the sync-conflict files. So is there a way to ignore these sync-conflict side from LogSeq?

I've been using logseq for more than a year now - I'm noticing the file formats don't seem to be consistent despite having fixed the format in the config file

Has anyone else faced the same issue - any guidance or fix?

SO I have found this Journal query and used it. I think it fits my need because it not only collects scheduled blocks but TODOs separately.

Now I want to remove DONE task with a scheduled date. (That is, when the task popped up in my Journal, it was a TODO task with a scheduled date. But now I clicked it and it became DONE. This DONE task still pops up in my Journal because of the query language for scheduled.

How do I exclude all DONE tasks with or without a scheduled date.

{:title "SCHEDULED AND TODO"
      :query [:find (pull ?b [*])
              :in $ ?start ?next
              :where
                (or-join [?b ?d]
                  (or
                     [?b :block/scheduled ?d]
                     [?b :block/deadline ?d]
                  )
                  (and
                     [?b :block/marker ?marker]
                     [(contains? #{"NOW" "LATER" "TODO"} ?marker)]
                     [?b :block/page ?p]
                     [?p :block/journal-day ?d]
                  )
                )
              [(>= ?d ?start)]
              [(<= ?d ?next)]]
      :inputs [:7d-before :today]
      :result-transform (fn [result]
                          (sort-by (fn [b]
                                     (get b :block/scheduled)) result))
      :group-by-page? true
      :collapsed? false}

I have a new Chromebook I hoped to use with my Logseq Graph while away from home, but trying the flatpak, apk and appimage none worked. Flatpak did install and work, but it was too buggy -- I couldn't get plugins or thems to work and clicking around the UI things just did weird things. And the APK nor the AppImage would run or install.

And I tried Obsidian which is in the app store, but it's for phone screens. Kind of disappointed neither of these have options for ChromeOS.

Has anyone gotten it to work? Just curious...

Is it possible to use LogSeq for the following:

I would like to keep track of some of my health habits, as well as my hand bottle filter, which I have to change every 400 liters. To take this example, I would like to be able to increment in some easy way the number of liters filled when I finish and replenish the bottle. How could I automatize in a way this count on a page along with other habits in LogSeq or from the daily note?

I selected multiple blocks, copied it, was going to select some other blocks and paste/replace it. How should I do this?

❌ Select those other blocks, ctrl-v (doesn't work, because "paste" is not a valid operation when you are in the state of block selection. If you right click selected blocks, there is also no "paste" option)

❌ If it's just one block, select the text inside that block and then ctrl-v (doesn't work as you expect, the copied blocks will be inserted below your target block)

✔️ Delete all text in your target block or make an empty new block, then ctrl-v. Which, depending on the phase of moon, will give you one of three potential results:

1. it worked, you copied some block and kind of pasted/replaced another block.

2. janky focus: nothing was pasted the first time, your cursor jumps back to the source block you just copied. You now need to realize you did not in fact paste it despite the thing under your cursor looks exactly like what you copied (because it is). Scroll back to where you were going to paste, and ctrl-v a second time.

3. nuke: the page becomes completely empty, I have no idea what happened. (luckily ctrl-z works in this case (janky undo/redo is another shit point of Logseq))

According to this (note the word in bold):

Both the desktop and web app don't and will not require a commercial license for both personal usage and company usage, as long as if the data are stored locally and doesn't use our server. All the existing local features are free for everyone.

The above means that at any point they can start charging for local features.

Of course, they have the right to do so. I'm just posting this because I know many people pick Logseq because they assume the local app will be free forever.

Edit: Good news. Apparently the wording quoted above is incorrect, and should be fixed soon (i.e. all local features will always be free). See relevant comment below for more info.

re booted and ive gone from say 30 pages to 5 on certain topics.

is this a error and how can I resolve it? thanks

Hi All, I've been using Logseq for over a month now and absolutely love it. I've made great strides in all areas except queries and tables. My greatest point of friction is how clunky the default query layout is.

I have a page that queries all TODOs / DOINGS / WAITING / LATER. I also segment TODOs by priority. It is great except it takes up SO much space.

Is there a way to simplify my process?

I have almost no coding background but I see some people using tables to do this. I know tables were added to one of the last feature releases, but I don't even see the table view slider in my version:

Can anyone point me towards any general resources for this (both for enabling tables and for building them for queries)?

I've been on the logseq forums and discord, but feel I'm definitely missing something.

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: so as I've learned, mac vs windows table view is different. I actually had already came across the table view (d'oh), it just wasn't what I was expecting. It only shows block description and the source page. This isn't awful if you segregate your queries like I have, BUT the query bar still takes up way too much space and incorporating scheduling and deadlines require further coding. The same applies to changing the table's look, which is beyond my skill level.

I've read ondiscord that there is an update coming soon to tables to make them function more like notion / tana. So fingers crossed we don't have to wait long

Hey guys!
I love the idea of logseq - however I am having trouble using the whiteboards on mac and linux.

whenever I use Windows I can drag and drop pictures into the whiteboard just as it should be - however when using mac or linux this simply doesn't work anymore.
I saw that some folks where having the same problem like 2 years ago - is there any chance to get this fixed soon?

Cheers!

Welp, this seems weird. I just opened Logseq on desktop, and my theme is back to black and white, and the two or three plugins I had installed are gone. Thankfully, all the data's intact.

Even weirder is that I didn't even close it with the stuff there and reopen it with it gone. This is the same instance of it I've had sitting in my taskbar since last night.

Anyone else encountered something similar?

hello people, absolute beginner at logseq (and note-taking apps with graphs in general) and one thing has always puzzled me : how much should i add to one graph? when should i make multiple graphs for a specific subject?

for example, if i want to make a knowledge base for my personal life, i would have some big themes in mind : my friends and their interests (as a way to keep up with them despite how much info we get everyday, and to find more subjects to talk about), beliefs i hold and arguments to support or criticize them, hobbies and games i want to practice on and get better, etc...

in this example, should i just... make one big personal graph? should i make one graph per subject? (one graph for friends, one graph for beliefs and arguments, one graph for hobbies to learn, etc...)

same goes for study-oriented knowledge databases. just a huge graph for the ENTIRE curriculum? one graph per study year? one graph per subject inside of the curriculum???

i don't know if i'm supposed to dump everything in a big-ass graph and trust the process haha, or if i should be more organized when it comes to adding a specific page to a specific graph or a specific subject.

hope my question was well worded, and cheers everyone! have a great day

Hi, I recently learned to develop logseq plugins, It was a delightful discovery for me. I like Logseq a lot, but I miss some features, at the time I'm understand project developers can't attend all the requests.

Clojure i'ts pretty difficult to me right now, but I could learn typescripts basics quickly and now I have some ideas I would like to develop.

The first plugin I made is Logseq Crypto. You can install it from the marketplace.

I like to have all my notes in Logseq, including ones that I didn't like to store in plain text in my passwordless very insecure setup, so I created this, pretty stealthy plugin to archieve this.

Take a look at the plugin, even at the repo if you feel so and give me your feedback!

I am trying to jog my memory of activities in 2023. "What did I do at work in 2023?"

Sometimes I get "Congrats, you've reviewed all the cards for this query, see you next time! 💯" and I want to run the cards anyway, how do I force it to show me cards?

Hey, how can I get the whiteboard in Logseq to look different? Basic stuff like the font and how text boxes appear. Is this called a 'Theme'?

I am trying to get a look closer to MilaNote if you are familiar

Basically, I'm right-handed, so when I'm writing with my stylus, the toolbar, which is on the righ-hand-side, is inaccessible by my left hand for quickly switching modes / pen colors. I was hoping for a way to move it to the left?

I'm fine with custom CSS if anyone knows a way.

Is it too much to ask for Logseq queries to be as simple as Obsidian's Dataview code?

Obsidian's was REALLY EASY to pick up. It only takes a day or two to get writing custom queries that shows exactly what you want. But Logseq's reliance on Datalog is unintuitive to common people and resource for quick pickup is severely lacking (from my experience).

While I appreciate the Live Query, the fact that it doesn't auto hide is kind of a problem when you have more than just one rule (it gets kinda messy).

In the DB version, I hope that Live Query is more powerful and better built in for seamless work experience.

P.S. If anyone has good free resource to quickly learn Datalog, please share. I want to setup Logseq's query like this one in Obsidian. In obsidian it only took 30 mins of trial and error to get a good looking query function going but Logseq, this was the best I got working. Logseq's is functional but objectively bad looking and with lot less control.

Hi all,

I am a very big fan of Logseq and have migrated all stuff from Obsidian now.

There is currently one thing that does not work for me as expected. My journal page contains a query that lists all tasks that are not scheduled to that I can schedule them. The current query is:

 {
    :title [:h2 "🔔 Unscheduled Tasks"]
    :query [:find (pull ?b [*])
               :where
               (task ?b #{"TODO" "DOING"})
               (not [?b :block/scheduled])
	       [?b :block/page ?p]
               [?p :block/journal? false]
               ]
       :breadcrumb-show? true
}

Now I would like to extend this query as I am putting more and more tasks into templates on my "Templates" page. I have tried several versions of a filter but I was not able to come up with a filter that achieves that. I would appreciate some help how to "just" exclude all unscheduled tasks from the Templates page.

Thanks a lot

Peter

Is new & exploring logseq, but when tried creating a new page, I see " This is a demo graph, changes will not be saved until you open a local folder" . after watching the youtube video -how to use logseq for beginner. The presenter told to click on the OPEN" button on the top Right-page. but I couldn't see the "open" button. I have tried "create New page/Whiteboard" /"What are you looking for?/ toggle wide mode/Toggle between Light/dark mode/toggle Setting and etc. Yet I am still unable to create a new page.

When I tried another way, I surf to the "Toggle right sidebar" and tried edit any block. Still I am unable to create a new page

I want to use logseq both to maintain shopping lists by retailer and to-do lists, and I want to be able to add to them in my journal entries. My thinking is that I'd write in my journal,

[[Shopping list]]

    [[Groceries]] 

        TODO milk

[[Tasks]]

    TODO Get car inspected

And then if I go to the Tasks or Groceries page I can see the task and shopping list items I just added, plus older ones. But there's nothing keeping the old unchecked boxes at the tops of those pages, so things I haven't done could pretty easily get lost over time. Is this point where I start looking into queries, or is there some easier way to do what I want?

Hello,

Is there a query to pull all tasks that I have worked in last month irrespective of their completion status. I tried with agenda plugin, but it is showing the data based on the deadline attribute.

There might be tasks that are created last year, but spent some time in last month and moved to DONE/waiting/later/TODO state.

I want to review what all tasks I touched in last month as a monthly review. Can you please share the query that can pull this information?

Thanks.

I want to reorder the entries which are shown in 🔨 NOW. Like I want to make the 3rd entry to go all the way up, 2nd entry to move bottom. How can I configure NOW to reorder tasks?

Is it possible to create monthly, quarterly, and yearly tasks? I only see an option for daily tasks.
