Show notes in a folder tree hierarchically: I am moving from Scrivener to Obisidan. My dissertation contains many snippets that are sorted in a hierarchical order by file names.
I’d like to have a continuous view / edit option of all files below the point that I have selected in the folder tree.
In Scrivener, you can switch from isolated view to continous view and back using Cmd+1.
In Continuous view, dashed lines are shown in the viewer / editor to show where one file ends and the next starts.
Of course, this would also have to respect the sort order; in Obisidian, by default folders are all listed before the files, which is not what I want; sometimes I’ve a file “0 - Overview” and then a bunch of subfolders.
For the folder tree, I’ve found a solution with the SebastianMC/obsidian-custom-sort plugin; a continuous view should also sort the files and directories in alphabetical order.
On the right side you see my little LaTeX Control Panel - it basically takes care of everything around LaTeX. In the context here, what I’ve added, is an automated generation of files that would just include in-place links to all files in their subdirectories.
Maybe it helps someone… I’ll certainly create more documentation around that Obsidian / LaTeX integration once I’ve been working with it some more.
I’m dying to see this feature in Obsidian. I feel it’ll be a MAJOR GAME CHANGER allowing lots of Scrivener users - me being the first - to move to Obsidian forever. … a big plus one here
