📂️ How I Use The Obsidian Database Folder Plugin 🔌️

[@rafaelgomezbermejo8557]

(Plugin creator here) I just watched the video. Thank you so much for this tutorial! Currently I am not maintaining the plugin since Obsidian adds to their roadmap. I will wait until that feature release to consider go back to code. Currently I am working into another one called ZettelFlow. Construction of workflows with just a canvas with ZettelKasten in mind

This plugin is amazing, thank you for your contribution.

[@diniomar3965]

Thanks Rafael - What do you mean Obsidian adds to their roadmap?

[@frankg.39]

I hope you keep maintaining it, because it's awesome!!

[@ioannplatte]

@@diniomar3965 Presumably Obsidian has announced that they're developing a feature like this.

[@MichaelAllanFrancisSheaver]

Until Obsidian gets this into the release, please keep maintaining it! We never know how long it will take for it to be implemented, so please continue keeping it updated until then.

Your filter system is fascinating. Thank you for the video.

[@BryanJenks]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BenjaminLStewart]

I appreciate the conciseness of your overview - you provide a lot of helpful tips. Would love to see a comparison of DB Folder and Project plugins in Obsidian and use cases for each.

[@BryanJenks]

glad you enjoyed it :)

Obsidian newbie here, thank you so much for this video, really helped me a lot with understanding overall how this plugin works! But there's one thing I'm missing (it might be not related to the DB Folder plugin): how did make so that rows (your notes) in your database have their status and their type emojis before their filename? You didn't explicitly name them to have emojis, did you? Again, thanks for this and your other videos, you really inspired me to move to Obsidian!

supercharged links plugin, made a few videos about it

It looks interesting. At the moment i am doing some of those things with MetaData Menu but not all of them. I wonder how the two plugins play together?

[@BryanJenks]

Probably! It all just runs based on the YAML metadata

[@lasseboe]

Thank you Brian! What font are you using? 🤓

[@BryanJenks]

Inconsolata is my go to

[@matthiasnott]

Interesting. Could you make a video on the different icons and what your thought processes behind them are?

[@BryanJenks]

what icons?

[@matthiasnott]

@@BryanJenks Those tags you use. The red and green icons that you use. On another topic, out of interest, I'm seeing you've a server rack in your office. Either you're deaf, or you've a marvellous noise cancelling rack there. I'd like to know what you are using :)

[@tietscho]

Thanks for your great Videos Bryan. Will there be another Full Tour of your Zettelkasten? It differs a bit from the one in 2021

[@BryanJenks]

It’s a lot to make one of those but I’m going to try to make one

[@tietscho]

@@BryanJenks thank you. I think it hasn’t to be as detailed as possible. Just an overview with some inspiration.

[@mar_ink]

7:09 i cant find that option... my table doesnt show that option, how do i activate?

[@BryanJenks]

not sure, it should be there if you have the database folder plugin installed

[@bakkalimarwan]

You need to click on the search icon in the bar above

[@arete_]

I don't have the table filter button. Please help. Is it because I made a database from a folder?

[@BryanJenks]

im not following...

[@devinersoy]

Thank you very much for your videos.

[@BryanJenks]

Glad you like them!

[@leanproductivity]

That's a great use case. I love the idea of using emojis/icons in the filter toolbar. Also, if you are interested in knowing all the various settings, field types, etc. I covered those over here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/onrYi3SfoJadhq8

[@BryanJenks]

nice!

Can this be filtered alphabetical order?

[@BryanJenks]

yes
