I'm very much at the point where I’m pulling my hair out, yelling at the screen. Because just like with v2024.1.1, this EXACT SAME BUILD works a-okay locally and in TestFlight.
But if I propagate the build to the App Store, the buttons stop working. There is nothing in those buttons that is checking for AppStore/TestFlight. 🤬
App Store review taking 2 days every time isn’t helpful, either.
Support for saving files is pretty convenient! For example, creating a workflow which snaps a picture, stores it in your vault, and then creates a note referencing/embedding the new photo is trivial.
Just released: #ObsidianMD community plugin Actions URI 1.5.0!
This update brings URI endpoints for working with files (= non-notes), endpoints for getting the currently focussed note/file, and getting notes by their name instead of file path.
FYI: The string-based vault parameter (i.e. "type in your vault name") will be removed in Actions for Obsidian 1.5.
For most customers, this won't be of interest, because since version 1.3 introduced the vault menu (which 1.5 builds upon!), the text-based parameter was only available in existing pre-1.3 workflows. Meaning: You couldn't even access it when adding a fresh AFO action to your shortcuts!
In other news, Actions for Obsidian 1.5 will let you work with images and attachments in your vault, and I think that’s pretty cool but then again, I'm the schmock who's building it, so …
Here’s an updated version of my super-simple “Start my day” #Obsidian workflow that creates/updates your current daily note with the current weather and your calendar events for today. The new version can be run more than once and will refresh your list of events every time.
I've overhauled my "Sync Contacts with Notes” #ShortcutsApp workflow which syncs contacts from a Apple Contacts group named “Shortcuts demo” with #Obsidian. It now makes use of file properties.
It creates single notes for each contact, with up-to-date contact details. When the workflow is run again, it’ll find existing notes and update them. The entries in Contacts will gain a clickable link to the Obsidian note.
What would make your life easier when working with your vault on your Apple machines? Is there anything you have trouble getting to work? What are you missing on AFO's roadmap (https://forum.actions.work/t/development-roadmap/16)?
ℹ️ I’m afraid interactive widgets are currently out of the question, the mix of Obsidian API + iOS is not very forthcoming in that regard…
Preparing the release of Actions for Obsidian 1.4, which brings both support for Note Properties and — probably the more important feature for many of you — an option to tell AFO on iOS what to do when it detects that is the last block in a workflow.
“The app would lead you to believe it's open source, but after visiting the GitHub page, you realize, only the actions are open. No thanks, not with my notes.” (1 star)
I never said my application was open source. Making shit up and then giving out bad reviews based on that misconception is totally cool, random internet stranger
Minor update for my #ObsidianMD community plugin Actions URI.
Today's v1.3.1 fixes an issue where append/prepend to a periodic note that had to be created first would create the note but fail to append/prepend the text.
