I study ancient philosophy on my own, especially Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. I intend to create a graphic notation for studying their works. I use several integrated and adapted notations in this task. Obsidian/Excalidraw is allowing an integration, structuring and organization between this knowledge to achieve success in my project.

I thought about your channel last week during my reading of “How to write a paragraph” In the book, authors evoked “Clarification strategies” and the 4th one is : “The ability to illustrate what we are saying with a metaphor, analogy, picture, diagram, or drawing. If we cannot generate metaphors, analogies, pictures, or diagrams of the meanings we are constructing, we have not yet connected what we understand with other domains of knowledge and experience.” 😉 Thank you : 😊

This plugin has some really awesome features, and it's clear it's only getting better. My only qualm is that for me as a new user, it's hard to find the answers to questions when a lot of the info is scattered across videos. For example, I've been trying to figure out what SVGs are permissible for icons in the Tools Panel for a custom user script, but I can't find that anywhere. I also don't know where the library items are stored in the vault, in what form, and how to access the location to add/remove items individually. Having a proper centralized "manual" or "FAQ" would make working with the plugin much more efficient for new users. Much love to you for putting so much work into this plugin. It's a game-changer, and I'll keep on this learning curve as best I can!

Maintaining documentation is challenging, especially when the plugin is evolving so rapidly. The difficulty is compounded by the fact that the plugin exists at the intersection of two actively changing platforms: Obsidian, which frequently introduces new features and changes that the plugin must accommodate, and Excalidraw.com, which is also under active development. While this is great from a feature-richness perspective, I have little or no influence over either of these, so my main focus is on creating the "superglue" that keeps the plugin functional. Although the vast majority of my changes are backwards compatible, certain aspects - like the grouping and sequence of settings within the plugin - tend to change more frequently. However, we might be reaching a point where a community-driven documentation effort could be both feasible and beneficial. Regarding your questions: Script icons should be SVG files named exactly the same as the script. Unfortunately, some automation I built into this process has limitations that I can’t undo without disrupting existing script icons. By examining a few icons that work, you should be able to deduce how to format your SVGs for use as script icons. As for library items, they’re stored in data.json within .obsidian/plugins/excalidraw-obsidian-plugin.

As for the other ideas... I welcome ideas, but: 1) usually the question is not ideas but having time to implement them 2) because this is a hobby project, your biggest task is not to come up with suggestions but to convince me why I can't live without that feature.

You can develop your own Excalidraw Automate script to apply links to your markdown notes. The underlying issue is that Obsidian will infer links based on the contents of your markdown notes not the drawing... So if you place [[file 1]] and [[file 2]] on [[drawing]] then Obsidian will show [[file 1]] and [[file 2]] linked to [[drawing]]. But if you want to link [[file 1]] with [[file 2]] on your [[drawing]] with an arrow such that Obsidian also sees a link between [[file 1]] and [[file 2]] then you need to modify [[file 1]] and/or [[file 2]] based on the drawing. You need a script that interprets the arrow and adds a link to [[file 1]] in [[file 2]] or to [[file 2]] in [[file 1]]. You could maybe create these additional links in document properties of [[file 1]] and/or [[file 2]]. The challenge you'll face when developing this script will be keeping track of changes. What happens when you delete the arrow on [[drawing]] between [[file 1]] and [[file 2]]? If [[file 3]] was on the drawing, and had a link to [[file 2]] but not an arrow on the drawing, what do you do? I could imagine 2 solutions... 1) A simple linker script, that you need to run manually, and which will create the links as represented on the drawing adding links between connected elements. This script would not maintain changes but would give you a once off opportunity to transform your arrows into file links. 2) Build a complex an indexer of sorts that would process all your Excalidraw files, then update all the impacted markdown files in your vault using a dedicated document property managed by the indexer. But that would be a very invasive approach and a complex indexe logic. I personally think 1) is not very useful in practice, and 2) is difficult to write and again not very useful in practice. But both options can be developed.

@@VisualPKM Thank you for such a detailed response! I wonder, is there a sort of "listener" that I could implement that in real time checks for changes to specific elements/properties? Perhaps something even from the f11 menu? Honestly, option 1 could be very good. Both scrintal and heptabase have severe shortcomings, so even a one-off linker could achieve the bulk of the work. Another possibility, just to have a line drawn from card-to-card if there is a [[reference]] to that card? and then allow the line to be changed in its color and curvature manually so as not to directly interfere with too much? So if I want to have a line appear from Cat to Dog I could just reference [[Dog]] in the cat note, then have a customizable line appear on the canvas

when the pen is active you can double tap with your finger to toggle between pen-mode and eraser mode. I think that is good enough Apple Pencil, Samsung S-pen and the likes all require dedicated software components in the host app which are missing from Obsidian. Obsidian and Excalidraw are cross platform solutions, as such it is not realistic to support the special features of each individual platform they operate on.

Ultimately it wants me to create a new pane (what is that?) and paste it over there. Another issue is for the Utility tool bar icons - I cant figure out what they are - I hover over them and get no text description. I also can't figure how to crop the image - the answers to all my issues seem to be hidden and the plug in does not work as expected.

Collaboration features are not my priority - you can do that on excalidraw.com. I am focused on the P aspect. Also this is a visual thinking tool, not a process or system modeling tool, for that there are many dedicated tools. For example at work I use SPARX Enterprise Architect for serious modeling.

If there’s anything else to add, it’s that I was using the new 'Canvas and Shape Properties' feature, where I was editing the grid. Maybe that caused the error. If the error happens again, I’ll take a screenshot.

@@josemanuelherrerapesantes4707 I am sorry for the frustration. Let's hope it was a once off fluke... (though unfortunately software does not work like that). The more information you can gather the better, until I can reproduce an error, I can't fix it - assuming there was indeed an error. Plase share information about a next occurrence here: github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/ I do recommend turning on a service like Obsidian Sync to back up your data. BTW - Even if you are not using Obsidian sync but another service like OneDrive, Google Drive or iCloud, etc., these other services usually keep versions of your files, so you should be able access an earlier version of the file before the crash.

@@VisualPKM I mentioned the frustration to explain why I couldn’t take a screenshot of the error. I know that would have been much more helpful than just describing what happened. I really appreciate the work you’ve done, Zsolt; you truly are a great support for the Obsidian community. If this happens again, i will go the GitHub forum, thanks for the answers. 😁

There is an extensive programming interface and many custom scripts. Your skills are the limit to what is possible - not kidding. You can learn more about the script library here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpC0Z5Ssf6yijassi=Fq8NCRCHmFur815_&t=553

So First thoughts "Wow that ink update really worked" and a bit of feedback that it "may stutter" like right at end of your "draw session" like I Write or make something in one stroke and its smooth but right at the end when I leave the click , it "lags a bit" (a tinny little bit), So I tried random clicking like You create a dotted line in real life, dot dot dot dot, And could notice it (but i think it also may be due to me having very poor hardware, and no dedicated GPU, 6GB ram tho) Creating lines very fastly in 1 stroke does not seem to create that "effect"

That is an interesting feature request. Probably needs to be solved at the Excalidraw component level, not in the Obsidian plugin. i suggest opening a feature request here: github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw/issues
