Attaching external documents

This is my number one feature. I love everything so far but without attachments/images I can’t use it as I need.

I’m really rooting for your team and the app!

This is definitely something that I really want. I suppose I could live without files (although I really want it) but I need the ability to embed images in a note. I take a lot of screenshots and mark them up to document different things.

I am planning to use AGENDA as my academic research journal. As such, attachments is essential to my workflow. I’m not sure what by what you mean by “in line” attachment - could you briefly explain?

What I am after is being able to attach a pdf or other media as an attachment in the form of a small thumbnail which when double clicked opens the full PDF in preview. (I would like to annotate the PDF in preview.) Of course the attachment would have to exist as a complete copy and not be an alias.

That’s exactly it, inline means inside the text

Yes, attachments would be added to Agenda fully, and synced up. A PDF you add on iPhone will appear on the Mac too. These attachments will appear in the text as an icon or similar.

Images are a special type of attachment. There will be a way to see these actually directly in the text. Other file types, like excel or PDF, will be viewable by tapping and opening another app or with QuickLook on the Mac.

I would love to see the safari clipper put a reading version of the page inline…but the simple link would be enough as well…

really looking forward to this feature…starting to use Agenda more and more everyday. It is becoming my documentation bible for development.

Maybe I missed this, but it’s there a way to link to a file Folder instead of a file? for each project I create a general note that I pin to the top.
Currently I drag individual files to this note so no matter what I’m doing I have a quick link to those files. I would rather have a link to the project folder, but when I drag Folders to a note nothing happens.

Thanks, I’m so close to making Agenda my main note app, but need this functionality plus inline images to make it work. (if I could also embed an inline mindmap from mindnode it would be bliss).

Thanks again

I don’t think Folders are supported at this point in time.

Any plans to add it later on?

Possibly, we’ll have to think how this would work with the attachment feature we’re adding right now.

Feel very much the same way. Love the app - please add images to notes…

Any ETA on this?

Can’t give a firm date, but we are working on it hard, and it will not be too long.

A workaround is to drag any document you want from within the folder — that’s what you are already doing. If it’s an empty folder, you could create an empty document as a sort of placeholder doc — into your note.

I assume you already know this, but when clicking on that “link”, it will open the folder and select your document. Right-click on the folder icon in the window and you’re taken one level higher.

Itr’s one step extra, but it does the job, IMO.

Hey Drew,

Not sure if this has been brought up yet, but on top of attaching images or files into the notes, I thought that it would be pretty cool if Agenda can link to services like google drive so that there is no need to reupload anything and have duplicate files (sorta like the calendar integration currently in Agenda where you can just link your notes to an existing event on you calendar but instead it is an existing file).

You guys are doing awesome work! I have really enjoyed using Agenda so far!

Cheers,
Brandon

Hi Brandon,
Note that you can currently already copy in links and drag in files to get a link. So that should already be in there.
Kind regards,
Drew

I’ve subscribed to Agenda. The only thing stopping me from using it is the lack of attachments. It seems like this promised feature is taking forever.

I am of the same concern. I’d be all in with that feature…but hasn’t happened nor looks to anytime soon!

Actually, happening very soon.

I’m afraid this is a massive feature. It would not be wrong to say we could probably write Photos app faster than adding this feature to Agenda. We have to do all the same stuff as Photos, but in a text editor. Import, export, sync, drag and drop, preview, print, etc etc. It’s just a huge change to the app.

That said, it is very close to done. Stay tuned.
