I tried looking for types.json as mentioned here Reddit - Dive into anything but I don’t see that file in .obsidian folder anymore, which I assume got removed or something
Help me please remove those properties, they drive me crazy…
Those three properties are part of the basic Obsidian properties, so I don’t think you can remove those at all. Most, if not all, other properties are free for you to remove/unassign.
Tags for categorising your notes in various ways, far extending the possibilities given by folders or other means.
Aliases for providing name alias to be used when autocompleting links between notes. Like having the note named after the fully qualified name, but adding acronyms and nicknames in the aliases.
Lastly, the cssclasses can be used to visually enhance your notes on a note to note basis, so that you could make room for that really large table, or maybe you’d like your index notes to stand out from the rest, and so on.
So all three are useful for various users, for various bits and pieces.
I see, yeah that makes a lot of sense, I understand
I’m just curious how many people actually use those default properties, and for how many those are… just there
For example, I didn’t understand that these properties have more meaning than just their names until you explained it to me. Does an average user understand that and uses it to the best advantage? Or use properties overall for that matter?
Again, for me personally it would be more helpful to have your comment in an (i) icon that would explain the use of those default properties, but still remove it from the list if it has 0 references, since it feels like it’s just polluting
You could suggest that in Feature requests to add informational icon to the default properties.
@tusuri , if you can’t delete other properties besides tags, aliases and cssclasses, your issue is not the same, and you’ll need to open another thread.
