Just published an article on improving startup time. Obsidian is fast, but with a lot of plugins, some experience a startup delay.
I present a simple hack to get around this.
Hey!
I made a little python script to accelerate the process.
First, edit the template for plugins list (FastStart-GenerateListOfInstalledPlugins) with :
<% "- [ ] " + Object.values(app.plugins.manifests).map(p=>p.id).sort((a,b)=>a.localeCompare(b)).join('\n- [ ] ')
%>
The list generated from this template will be a task list
Now, you need to class your plugins :
-
- [x](check) will mark as a short delay plugins. - Any checked mark not x and not empty (so any
- [char]) will be marked as a long delay - To keep the state (disabled/start when Obsidian open), you can remove from list or leave
- [ ].
Note
- I use
- [>]for short delay here, but you can use any character in your check mark*- I use a empty check mark to keep the state of my plugins (disabled forever or start at obsidian’s opening)
After, download this little python file.
You need to edit the path :
-
short: The (absolute) path toFastStart-Plugins-ShortDelay.md -
long: The (absolute) path toFastStart-Plugins-LongDelay.md -
plugin: The absolute path to generated list byFastStart-GenerateListOfInstalledPlugins
After, you just have to run using python -m class_list.py
You can put the python script in your Obsidian vault without problem :D.
Moreover, if you don’t like to use checked mark for short delay you can edit the script here, editing the - [x] for any value you want (you can also use ctrl + f & edition…)
