4.4 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.
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 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 ‘class’ folder will contain any class template files created 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 Template files and/or Script files.
