I love bear for a number of reasons
- Nested Tagging: the way bear creates a sort of “table of content” out of nested tags is unsurpassed. It’s easy to find the same note in several places, everything is well organized, renaming tags works like charme, and moving a note from one place to another is straight forward.
- Internal Links: creating Wiki-Links with autocompletion is as easy as can be. I’m using this feature heavily and I love it. Research in my notes is so much easier.
- Notes in bear look just pleasant to my eye.
There is one thing, that I would like the bear developers to look at:
When I rename a note, almost all the Wiki-Links are renamed as well - which is fine. However, there are almost always some Wiki-Links that are not renamed. When I click those links, a new note (with the “old” title of the renamed note) is created. Also, in the autocompletion window I see a lot of duplicates, as well as entries with “old” names. Choosing an “old” title by mistake (i. e. a title that has been renamed to some other title) creates a Wiki-Link that would again create a new note with the “old” title. Somehow I learned to live with this flaw, but it would be great, if the Wiki-Link feature would be more reliable. May be some list, with all those links, that link to a note that in fact doesn’t exist?
My bear contains several thousands of notes, it’s my personal Wiki. It also contains notes, that I’m not willing to share - so, sorry, but I cannot provide an export file of my bear.
