Already in a short period of time, canvases have proven themselves to be incredibly useful tools for a number of different purposes. What I would love to see implemented is the ability to export a canvas to some kind of image file that, when opened, would be able to display the whole of the exported canvas.
Such a feature would allow one’s canvases to be shared with others in a way that represents a kind of “result”, similar to the way in which one can export a note in Obsidian to a PDF.
At the moment, one has the option to copy screenshots of canvases, but the contents of said screenshots are (understandably) limited exclusively to that which is visible in the canvas window itself (regardless of whether the overall content of the canvas extends beyond what is shown in the window). Naturally, one could simply share a .canvas file with someone else, but this workaround likely presupposes that the recipient is using Obsidian – and, it does give the recipient the option to easily make further edits to the .canvas file (which may not be desirable).
I’m not entirely sure which kind of image file/s would be ideal – but preferably something that (1) doesn’t require special software to open/preview and (2) could handle large-scale content to be zoomed in and out of. One could perhaps imagine it as a “screenshot” of all the content that is present in a canvas file as well as the way in which it is being displayed in its canvas window in Obsidian at the time of taking the screenshot.
