Oops, the forum software mangled the CT command a bit. Let me try it another way:

[[$FILE:C:\Users\username\Documents\My Dropbox\folder_name\*.*]]

Curiously, the CT command was rendered correctly when I viewed it in my RSS reader (InoReader) in Firefox, but rendered incorrectly when viewed on OutlinerSoftware.com in the same Firefox, and then again the other way round when I tried to “fix” it. I presume it has to do with different ways of rendering HTML…

You’ve undoubtedly mentioned this before (in that case a link would be enough), but could you explain your “bring them into CT” procedure?

Oh, with individual notes I normally only use copy and paste into the body of a new topic. So at the moment I record my notes as individual notes in Google Keep (by using a simple CT template I keep there), and then when I’m back at my Win PC, I call up Google Keep in Firefox and copy and paste each note into CT (and then delete those notes from Google Keep, which I only use as an inbox, to be cleared every time).

I only use mass import of notes in the case of diary entries, which I record in a plain text file for a few months, and then import them as a single file, which CT breaks up into individual topics according to a “separator” markup. This is explained in the CT help file > Importing text > Using a separator.

So in my diary I start an entry as

@@20150418

and CT splits the text file at the @@ separator mark and uses the immediate text after the separator as the title of the new topic, in this case displayed as “18/04/2015”. The text contained below that will constitute the body of the topic, until the next occurrence of @@, which creates the next entry.

It would be of course possible to use a single plain text file kept in Dropbox for recording all notes with a separator and then import them in one go into CT, but I find it less hassle to just use Google Keep for occasional notes captured on the go.

Hmmm… Is there some way to continuously publish the CT database as HTML to a Public Dropbox folder?

That way I can pull up the URL on my phone when I need to look at old info. Then I can just use a Dropbox folder as my Inbox (with Workflow/Drafts/URL schemes on iOS to collect throughout the day, and Dropbox on my office machine for other things) and integrate them into CT when I get back to my home PC.
