Obsidian 1.6 Desktop (Public)
- salesynerd 2y agoTo me, it appears like that's a lot of changes packed in this release!
- spectralglitch 2y agoHighly recommend Obsidian to anyone looking for a simple and effective way to organize their thoughts.
- hammyhavoc 2y agoIt's as good as someone's ability to come up with a system and stick to it.
- bravetraveler 2y agoAgree - I've been toying with the idea of using something more... formal, but rolled my own so to speak. I have a script that runs on login that simply opens two files: 1: this calendar week 2: the last calendar week ... in vim tabs, organized in yearly directories. I live in the terminal anyway. Making myself see the thing, by opening automatically, was the big part. That let me write more. Keeping the storage simple makes the data accessible and portable. All of this applies to Obsidian and things too - but I enjoy this kind of tinkering
- hammyhavoc 2y agoLove this. This really appeals to my way of thinking, it's oldskool, but extremely practical.
- bravetraveler 2y agoGlad I hit the mark! I'll provide a copy below. Fair warning: only tested on Linux, not Mac/BSD: NOTE_DIR="${NOTE_DIR:-${HOME}/notes}" CURRENT_NOTE=$(date +%Y-week%V) LAST_WEEK_NAME=$(date -d '7 days ago' +%Y-week%V) NOTE_PATHS=("$NOTE_DIR/$CURRENT_NOTE" "$NOTE_DIR/$LAST_WEEK_NAME") EDITOR="${EDITOR:-vim}" if [[ $EDITOR == *vim* ]]; then # Run the vim-like editor with tabs $EDITOR -c ':tab all' "${NOTE_PATHS[@]}" else # Run the editor without vim tab arg $EDITOR "${NOTE_PATHS[@]}" fi The bit for '$EDITOR' makes this work for 'vim', but also 'gvim' (vim-X11) and 'neovim'. The assumption for 'else' is that the other editors simply accept an array of arguments with no other direction required Edit: I realize now I misspoke - no yearly directories [anymore]; dashed names instead! Apparently I quit that in week 10 of 2023. IIRC, managing the directories added a few lines I didn't care to keep. I don't look outside of the two week window often :)
- hammyhavoc 2y agoThanks! As a fellow Linux geek, I love this so much.
- winternewt 2y agoWhat is the consequence of the change about not syncing arbitrary plugin files? Will we lose settings synchronization (e.g. template files) for plugins?
- jocoda 2y agoCombine with syncthing for syncing across multiple computers/platforms.
- nilsherzig 2y agoHonestly if you use obsidian a lot consider paying for sync. It has some nice options, especially if you're also using the mobile app.
- orsenthil 2y agoI use git to sync across my computers. What does sync provide as true advantage? I am considering but haven't decided.
- viraptor 2y agoAutomatic notification. You don't need to push/pull. With the usual sync service or the livesync plugin, you can have the document open in two places and see it get updated immediately.
