What I’m trying to do Hi! I would like to create an automatic index that updates itself with the entire structure of the Obsidian Vault, listing also files with non-markdown extensions. I believe this isn’t possible with Dataview’s basic code, perhaps it’s achievable with Dataviewjs, any ideas? Tha…

It doesn’t really make sense to me, but to each their own. If you make this through dataview how do you then plan to use this to “connect to these indices” as you put it? You can’t link into a query result, as far as I know. You could potentially start your file tree at that position, and leave out…

I’ve just landed in Obsidian and it might be that I’m trying to do something that seems useful to me but actually doesn’t make sense. Setting aside all this talk of the dashboard, is it possible instead, using Dataviewjs queries, to list all the contents of a folder including non-markdown files and …

By default dataview queries will list only notes, and doesn’t care that much about folders. It can be persuaded to display the folder of a given note, or filter related to the folder information. Going the other way around and getting it to display folders, is slightly trickier since you then need …

Thank you, this is a good starting point! Is it possible to integrate a command to return the list in alphabetical order?

Adding .sort(f => f.path) or .sort(f => f.basename) on the line after the .where(...) should sort either by full path or just the base name.

It’s doable, as said, but it do require loads of manipulation and adaptation. :smiley:

I am also testing this dataviewjs code but it is still not perfect according to what I would like it to do. // get files via Obsidian api - filter pdf and other extension and path with the string "xxxxx" const files = app.vault.getFiles().filter(file => ((file.extension == 'png' || file.extension =…

Try the following and see if that is closer to what you want: ```dataviewjs const currentFolder = dv.current().file.folder // get files via Obsidian api - filter pdf and other extension // and path starting with the current folder const files = app.vault.getFiles() .filter(file => file.path.sta…

Thank you very much, I integrated your code with the one I had already written to achieve the desired result, I leave it here in case someone needed it to make some sort of MOCs/Index of the various folders. // Function to exclude a folder without specifying the entire path const folderToExclude =…

To make it appear in a tree like structure would require more manipulation.

Dataview JS Getting The Tree Root Help

After some major headache, and twists and turns, I finally got a version which is able to both pick roots automagically, detect multiple presences of a node in the tree (and avoid re-presenting it), detect loops, and finally to be able to specify which nodes you want to present as root nodes. This latter option does however require for the roots to be within the predefined nodes of the automated search. The only thing missing now, is to get the nodes to collapse, which should be doable by chan…
