Hi all! Keep up the good work, really enjoying Obsidian, its possibilities and the community vibe that’s gong on.
Use case or problem
Many plugins ask for a location of configuration files, some even multiple times. If I change the location of my settings folder (which rarely happens but it does sometimes) I need to figure out by trial and error which plugins I need to change the location of config files of.
Proposed solution
Would it be possibile to create a general base location for config files, e.g. settings or extras or configuration. At one level lower, one could expand this by having a generic location for templates, scripts, etc that plugins can use (which can be overridden in the plugin if they choose to).
settings
- templates
- scripts
- media
- css
- …
Give plugin developers a default variable / location to start with:
generic_settings_folder
→ generic_templates_folder
→ generik_scripts_folder
etc.
Current workaround (optional)
Right now it’s trial and error if you change the location of your templates or scripts. There’s no real workaround.
