Oh, I'm all over this now! I used Prezi for a long time. I've been using Canvas more and more. With this plugin I get the best of both worlds. And yeah, connecting canvases is something I've been wanting. This is great!

[@Marco_Mindstone]

Absolutely! For me, it’s a must have for anyone who wants to have a great Obsidian canvas experience.

@@Marco_Mindstone 100%! I've been using it for the last few days and can confirm it is a gamechanger for me. I've reworked some canvases to leverage the linking (portals) and have created a given a presentation using the presentation mode. This is going to streamline a lot of my thought process and the work I do. I'm totally donating a contribution to the creator.

Thank you for making this video. I am a new user and was making a mind map. Im really confused... how do I center the text, change shape, etc. Turns out this plugin is the ultimate answer. Also thank you to the developer of the plugin.

[@Marco_Mindstone]

Thank you! Glad to hear you liked it!

[@OyvindSolstad]

Wow, this is great! Going to try it out. Thanks!

[@Marco_Mindstone]

Thank you! Let me know what you think after you have tested it!

[@justmyhandle1]

Thanks for the video. The presentation feature is great as well as the canvas interconnection.

[@Marco_Mindstone]

Thank you! Yes, it’s a very nice and useful implementation!

[@Donfiesta-l6s]

Brilliant video! Many thanks for this! The auto resizing for nodes is not working even though i have it enabled. Perhaps i am not understanding the use correctly or if its a bug. I would love it if you can help out!

[@Marco_Mindstone]

Thank you! I just tested it. Perhaps you are using central text alignment? It looks like there’s an issue with it. It seems that this feature doesn’t work properly when using center alignment. Let me know!

[@farzadmf]

Seems really cool!

[@Marco_Mindstone]

Yes! 💯

[@Net_NOU]

thanks

[@dubo5759]

Thanks cool - could you add (external) links to a card or group so that I can jump from one group or card to another card/group. or from one canvas to another - thanks

[@Marco_Mindstone]

Thank you! To easily see links between canvases, I suggest you to install Canvas Links. This plugin allows you to see outgoing links and backlinks related to canvases.

[@dubo5759]

I was thinking more about links, where you can jump from one card or group to another. also across canvas. like in miro for example. (external linking)@@Marco_Mindstone thnaks 🙂

[@Marco_Mindstone]

@@dubo5759 Ohh ok, I misunderstood sorry. At the moment I don’t think there is a solution for that.

[@charlienavarro4567]

Gracias 👌

[@Marco_Mindstone]

You're very welcome! :)

[@buahahanomi]

how to change the shape of the arrow line, so it doesn't across other notes?

[@Marco_Mindstone]

Unfortunately it seems it's not working at the moment. The dev wrote this in the github repo page: "Due to a high-priority project and other reasons, development of Advanced Canvas is paused until 20th Nov."

[@ritchiee1980]

Is it possible to duplicate a card with a keyboard shortcut so that I can keep the same properties such as center and specific colour?

[@Marco_Mindstone]

Hi Ritchie, unfortunately I think that the best way to do that is to simply copy/paste the card. At the current state there is no command that allows you to do that.

[@ritchiee1980]

@@Marco_Mindstone ... That's a pity. Thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate it.

[@castillo5148]

@@ritchiee1980 Maybe you could try using templater for doing so

[@ritchiee1980]

@@castillo5148... Thanks for that.

[@vexokay]

How long can approval take?

[@Marco_Mindstone]

Honestly I don’t know. It depends on code reviews.

i accendently downloaded 5 advance notes and the icons didnt pop up for me what do i do?

[@Marco_Mindstone]

Hey, what you mean with "5 advance notes"?

[@Myth_Investagator]

@@Marco_Mindstone Like, i clicked download multiple times because i thought the first click doesnt work so i clicked download multiple times and i have 5 advance notes now

[@Marco_Mindstone]

@@Myth_Investagator Oh you mean “Advanced Canvas”…try to open your vault folder, delete all the related files from there and reinstall it.

[@Myth_Investagator]

@@Marco_Mindstone ooooooh i see, thank you for your reply

[@SonSantana]

This proves that the core canvas plug-in is way too barebones. I hope it expands quickly

[@Marco_Mindstone]

Totally agree on that.
