The local graph around my current note is one of the features I love and use most in obsidian. With depth=2, it populates with every other note referencing the same terms, tags, authors, and concepts as what I’m currently reading and writing.
When this network is small, graph view is awesome. But as my graph as grown, some local graphs become too busy to navigate efficiently in graph view. I’d love to be able to view the local graph (as defined as depth=X from note Y) in a scrollable list form.
Is there any current way of doing this?
If not, I’d love to see a plugin or feature allowing this. Navigating by local graph is super useful, but only efficient for my lonelier notes.
Has anybody actually used Local graph in any meaningful way? It is VERY fiddly, especially if you are switching screen resolutions, i.e. connecting laptop to a monitor back and forth - it constantly zooms in a weird way, some nodes go out of the box, etc.
And all this for depth=1. Depth 2 is effectively unusable.
Simple list is orders of magnitude more convenient (albeit not as “selling”) representation.
And yet, local graph is the only way to list all the links (outgoing and ingoing) to the current page, including tags. Outgoing links pane, for example, lists attachments, which are detrimental in terms of links navigation, meaning staking Backlinks and Outgoing links panes is not an option (even if you accept missing linked tags). This is baffling to me.
