Hey

Use case or problem

When I use graph-view I want full sentence of the name of the file which helps me to find relevant topics fast just by reading the file name . But becuse android Limits it its kind of a pain

Proposed solution

Adding an Option , so Despite the name of the .md file , I have a Second Name in the app witch has un limited length to use it in the graph view .

Hey

An idea came to my mind

For fixing ((android-.md-file-name-limit)) let’s change obsidian vault

Recommendation ;

Instead of saving every note in a .md file ((which causes app to be slow and .md-file-name-limited-in-android

Let’s creat a .txt file and write contents of each ((.md-note)) inside that .txt file

For example ;

Obsidian-vault Current hirachy ;

.obsidian (Settings and …)

-Folder 1

--note1.md

--note2.md

--note3.md

My recommended hirachy ;

.obsidian (Settings and…)

-text-file-of-notes.txt

_____________________________

The .txt file contents ;

______________________

Example title with 100 characters.md

___

file property (i.e. tags

___

Contents of note

_______________________

_______________________

Example title with 100 characters2.md

___

file property (i.e. tags

___

Contents of note

_______________________

Done

The benefits of this method ;

  1. Unlimited file title (atomic note)(note as a card in graph view)
  2. notes don’t get lost when moving vault from one device (with support of more-file-name characters) to another device(with low support of less-file-name characters) (happened to me :confused: )
  3. (Still notes are open to users and if one day obsidian didn’t exist you can extract your notes and move to another app)(We love obsidian though :slight_smile:)

Trade offs of this method ;

  1. Don’t know really

This was only an idea and I respect obsidian dev team and their idea and opinion is what matters .
