If you have tons of notes and need to change all of them to a new extension, open Terminal and cd to the folder you chose for note storage in Notational Velocity. To change the extension on these files, open that folder in Terminal or Finder and rename the files so that they end with ‘.txt’. If iA Writer is still grayed out in the ‘Note -> Edit With’ menu or fails to respond to the external editor keyboard shortcut, make sure that the notes you are editing have the ‘.txt’ extension.Īll of your notes should now be stored as individual files in the folder you chose in Notational Velocity’s preferences. Highlight ‘txt’ in the Extension list and click the check-box to make it the default extension.Choose ‘Plain Text Files’ in the ‘Store and read notes as:’ drop-down.Choose a folder to save and read notes from in the ‘Read notes from folder’ drop-down (I suggest a Dropbox folder).Choose ‘iA Writer’ in the External Editor drop-down.Use the ‘.txt’ extension for note files.Use plaintext file storage for notes in Notational Velocity.Set iA Writer as the External Editor in Notational Velocity.

So, the full requirements to use iA Writer with Notational Velocity are: The rest of this guide will assume you want to use ‘.txt’ as the file extension for notes. I wanted to try using them together, by setting iA Writer as the external editor for Notational Velocity, but after doing so I noticed that iA Writer would not open with the keyboard shortcut (Command-Shift-E), and it was grayed out in the ‘Note->Edit With’ menu.Īfter tinkering, I found that Notational Velocity’s note storage must be set to plaintext files and the file extension must be ‘.txt’ (or ‘.md’, which is iA Writer’s default file extension). The OS X apps iA Writer and Notational Velocity are great for writing and taking notes, respectively.
