Dear #macOS users of Actions For Obsidian, if v2024.1 wasn't the first version of AFO you've installed, could you please check your Applications folder and let me know whether there are two versions of AFO, or just one?
The app was renamed in the last update, to proper titlecase ("Actions for Obsidian" → “Actions For Obsidian”), and I just got a report that for some customers, the App Store installation didn't remove the old version correctly.
#ObsidianMD#TTRPG As mentioned in my article on tags, I favor tags over custom properties. So recently, I've been cleaning up an old custom property for Campaign and replacing it with a nested tag: campaign/{campaign-abbreviation}. You can see an example in this image.
#ObsidianMD#TTRPG Lastly, two ways I've handled embedded secrets within notes (knowledge that I have as the GM but players don’t yet).
HTML comments. Keeps it right within the note and won't render in read mode or on a website! I'm tending to prefer this method.
Linked previews. This abstracts secrets into their own notes but renders a preview in the related note. This works great with tools like Obsidian publish because they won't show up if you don't publish the secret's note.
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.
Please help me find the Obsidian-related toot I saw earlier where a kind person shared some CSS for changing the background of the page when in Live View as opposed to Preview!
Should have saved it at the time, it's going to be really helpful.
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.
So, I've been using #Obsidian and one of the things I really like are #css snippets to tweeks things. I wonder if it's possible to add something like this to the user space side of mastodon so users could customize their interface (without adding massive vulnerabilities 😅).
Would be even cooler to combine with the API and apps so a supporting service like moderation tools or addition context could hook into those css tags and display information like some of the add-ons that #bonfire is doing 🤔
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.
Lire https://mastodon.social/@kepano/111909950947086239 me rappelle que ça fait des années que j'utilise Obsidian, quotidiennement, et que j'adore ce logiciel, dont les valeurs s'alignent si bien avec les miennes. Allez, hop, je prends une licence Catalyst, pour leur filer un peu de sous, il était temps.
ugh i can't figure out where the Spaces directory came from and why I have new #obsidianMD notes that wound up in there. i don't see a reference to "Spaces" in my plugins other than Workspace Manager and no workspace named "Home" exists anyway.
any ideas? i think i created the two notes it put into those folders either by a non-existent link in my daily note yesterday because it doesn't have the usual yaml cues from Unique Note Create. @obsidianmd plz halp #PKM#obsidian#spaces
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 …
The #ObsidianMD Border theme, coupled with the Style Settings plugin, is so lovely. You can customize the look and feel quickly without hunting for deeply nested selectors in the inspector to use in custom CSS snippets.
And the seamless embed option is excellent if you're like me and use transcludes everywhere. Great work, Akifyss, and co.!
