> editable dataview tables; but I'm not sure this library is the answer to that No, I used to word "batch edit". DB-folder tables are indeed "editable" but you can't "batch edit" them. Your library allows this further step. that was my point : to show how your solution augment what dataview and DB-folder already offers (augment, not replace) It seems some people are using https://python-frontmatter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html https://python-frontmatter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.ht... for raw batch editing. (seen here https://forum.obsidian.md/t/bulk-changes-of-markdown-files/11956 https://forum.obsidian.md/t/bulk-changes-of-markdown-files/1...) > when expanding the tutorials. IMO, You can also put python scripts in github for some precise use cases (data maintenance...), to showcase the possibilities.

> IMO, You can also put scripts in github for more precise use cases (data maintenance...), to showcase the possibilities. That's how I use the library for my personal vault. Its a nice idea to share them as recipe scripts :thumbsup: I'll dig into that. > It seems some people are using https://python-frontmatter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.ht https://python-frontmatter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.ht... for raw batch editing I use that library too, in fact it is the only dependency of py-obsidianmd. It's only used to load the frontmatter though. > that was my point : to show how your solution augment what dataview and DB-folder already offers (augment, not replace) That could be a standalone video, indeed. Show a workflow with dataview, and going further with python scripting and py-obsidianmd. Some plugins are being developed to run python scripts directly within obsidian (https://github.com/mProjectsCode/obsidian-script-runner-plugin https://github.com/mProjectsCode/obsidian-script-runner-plug...),, so one can imagine running his maintenance recipes etc. without leaving the vault. Many possibilities !
