Hi Obsidian team,
Just found Obsidian and think it’s a great tool! Thank you for developing it.
It would be much appreciated if you could please consider implementing a feature to create a “Container of Vaults”. A container could be a primary collection for a group of vaults related by a user’s personal role or theme, while still enabling separation between vault contents.
Currently all vaults appear at the same level in one list, which I find can cause a loss of focus when switching between related vaults. (Example below.)
It might be helpful for some settings to be configurable at a container level (e.g. permissions, themes or shared CSS snippets) and then applied to all vaults within the container. A single ‘view all settings’ for all vaults in the same container may also be helpful to help users align settings.
Use case or problem
User has multiple vaults covering different roles and within the roles different categories of work, e.g.
- Work [vault synced with work computer]
- Active Projects
-
Client 1 -
Client 2 - Prospective Projects
-
Client 3 - University [private vault]
- Year 1
-
CS101 -
CS102 - Home [vault shared with partner]
-
Dog care -
Cat care - Fitness (private vault)
-
Marathon prep. -
Bodybuilding prep.
At present, if user wants to switch to and from e.g. ‘Client 1’ to ‘Client 2’, they may lose concentration by being prompted by the non-work related vault names.
Proposed solution
Define a new ‘container’ object to store all vaults.
Current workaround (optional)
None directly. Including a ‘theme name’ in the ‘vault name’ appears to be only option [e.g. “WORK - Active - Client 1” - “WORK - Active - Client 2”], but this can lead to long names being cut-off from view.
