I've never heard of that plugin, but taking a look at it, it looks like it would allow you to easily add columns to your dashboard! I'll have to do a quick follow up video to show it in action! Thanks for sharing!

I very much appreciate you choosing to watch this one 😄 I hope it gave you a good starting point for working in Obsidian.

Thank you for sharing! I feel it’s beneficial to share my philosophy on how I use tools. Just because something was created to serve a specific purpose (folders, tags, etc) doesn’t mean that’s the ONLY way to use them. I’ve found (just as the developers of Bear and the Tag Folder plugin did) that there’s a way to use tags that fills an in between use case. This usage of tags as a facsimile of folders works the way my brain does. It may not work for everyone, and that’s okay, but we need not limit ourselves just because something isn’t the traditional way of doing things.

Thanks for the sub! I’m glad this helped you with Zettelkasten, although I’m unsure how it did because it’s about building Notion-like dashboards. I’m curious as to how it helped you with Zettelkasten, so please feel free to share!

Thank you so much!

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching! I hope it proves useful to you 😄

Yeah, I don't use the large graph much. I do sometimes use the local graph view to see connections to the note I'm actively working on. I haven't delved into any community PDF plugins. I'd love to hear what you find there.

@creadevlabs it's literally called like that and it adds 1/6, 2/6 at the bottom. I am more surprised Obsidian can't do that natively.

I'm able to see page numbers at the top when viewing PDFs. Is it not doing that for you?

Glad it was useful to you, even if not in the way you expected 🤣

Wow, thank you so much! I hope it was useful to you as you get up and running with Obsidian 😄

The problems it solves for me (creating and deleting folders on the fly, having notes in multiple folders, etc) may not be the same for everyone. For instance, you make an excellent point about a large number of tags creating a large number of folders. I don't have a large amount in my vault, so it's not a problem for me, but may be a problem for someone who has 690 tags. What I've presented here is just one way to solve certain problems, and is by no means perfect. It's something I'm still experimenting with and tweaking as I go. I'd love to hear how others are organizing their vaults and what unique solutions they've come up with.

Mathematically speaking, tags as they kind of add "types" to stuff would be more precisely be described by categories. In category theory a category is something that contains objects and arrows that connects and relates those objects to one another. In our case, the relation would be the equivalence in which every item in this category has a similar functionality (for example, "TODO" for every note that is recent and needs to be refined) Tags CAN be viewed as sets of things Folders form disjoint sets of things in the collection of items. This means that an item cannot be in two folders at the same time, as fundamentally each folder is disjoint from each other (they dont share the same elements.) While tags form a coverage on the collection of items, which means that items can exist in multiple tags at the same time. So you CAN view tags as a set, where the collection of all tags forms a coverage over the space of all items that can be labeled. But fundamentally they cant work as proper folders because to be a folder they need to be disjoint. So in this sense, our structure that connects tags would be a category of tags, if the collection of all our tags is finite then it's a small category containing only the set of all possible tags. Each tag individually is a adjoint set of things with the same label. In this structure, a intersection of tags (an item that has multiple tags) forms a new set on this structure, and it makes sense because just because an item has multiple tags doesnt mean they are "related" directly. If you have a tag "project" and tags "work" and "hobbies", just because an item is labeled "project,work" and other is "project,hobbie" doesnt mean that there is a direct relationship between them. So it makes perfect sense to define multiple tags as new sets of objects that contain only those tags. Which is why you end up creating new "folders". It is mathematically accurate in the view of category theory for this system.

You are right on folders: they are made to contain stuff, if you want something in multiple folders then you need to copy it. Tags are something you attach to a thing, so one, unique instance of said thing can have multiple tags. Example: Folders: - Folder 1: - thing - Folder 2: - other thing - thing (copy) # Now there exists two copies of the same thing Tags: - Tag 1: - thing - Tag 2: - other thing - thing # This is still the same thing, so there's no replication Again: A Folder CONTAINS stuff, a tag GROUPS stuff, but grouping doesn't mean putting it in the same place, just looking at it with the same lens as other things.

Thanks for watching! 😁 I will add a video talking about using CSS to control page layout to my list of upcoming videos.

I don’t know if you can add timestamps or not, but it’s something I will look into!

@ thanks!!

Thank you for watching! 😄

Thanks for the feedback! I do appreciate it. I agree the Tag Folder approach isn't perfect. While it solves a lot of problems, it introduces others. The 3 tags thing I think can be solved by experimenting with the settings more. This approach is still new to me, and needs some fine tuning. I'll do a follow up video a little later down the line to share the results 😁

You can accomplish this behavior by: - enabling "Behavior/Disable narrowing down" - disabling "Arrangements/Merge redundant combinations" After doing that the files with multiple tags should appear on multiple tag folders at the same time and selecting said file will also highlight all the tag folders that contain it.

That’s awesome! And you can fill in the activities you’re doing each week to improve in those areas 😊

Wow, thanks! Those sound like super useful plugins to use alongside Tag Folder 😄

Haha. Most of the time I’m able to figure what settings do in plugins, but this one was a bit hard to figure out. I’ve got something working that I like, so at least there’s that 😁 And thanks for watching! I hope it was useful to you.

You're welcome! Thanks for watching 😁 I hope it was useful to you.

You're welcome! Thanks for watching 😁 I hope it was useful to you.

There isn't a search function specific to the Projects plugin. Since Projects is just pulling in notes from your vault, you should be able to just use the default search function.

Thanks for watching! I hope it was helpful to you 😁

I created the docx and pages files in Word and Pages, not in Obsidian. I simply saved the files in my Obsidian vault so they'd be available to link to from notes.

@creadevlabs thank you, your obsidian videos always helpful, I would like to know how to saved it?

Your Obsidian vault is just a folder on your device, so when saving a document in an app like Word or Pages, navigate to your vault folder in your device's filesystem and save it there. You could also take an existing Word or Pages doc, you can locate your Obsidian vault folder on your device's filesystem, and drag the Word or Pages doc into the folder. You'll then be able to link to the doc from your Obsidian notes.

Glad you enjoyed it! I hope it was useful to you 😁

Let me know how you like it! I'd love to hear people's experiences with it. I hope it works well for you!

It doesn't transcribe the notes for you at this point. I hope that's something it does in the future.

Hmm....I've never encountered that issue before. Is there typo when searching for the command maybe?

Wow, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad you've found my videos useful and they've helped you become productive with Obsidian. Please let me know if there's anything you'd like to see covered in a future video!

Thank you so much for watching! I hope the video was useful to you 😁

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching 😁 More videos coming soon!

I think the Tasks plugin requires the task description first, then the dates after. I’ll have to do some testing to verify that’s the case.

Thanks for watching! I’m so glad it was helpful to you 😁

The app is called Concepts: concepts.app It features an infinite drawing canvas, so it’s great for brainstorming.

Thanks! 😁

Thanks! 😁

Thanks for watching! I'm glad it was helpful to you 😁

I haven't made any guides yet for 2025, but they're coming!

Thanks for watching the video! I'm glad you found it approachable 😁 That's my goal with the systems I create and share, so I'm glad that goal was met in your case! I'm planning on doing an update on my analog to digital system soon as I've made some tweaks that will hopefully make the system even simpler! I'd also love to hear what tweaks you make to it as I too love to see how others are setting up their systems.

You can put checkboxes in tables, but that's about it. Tables in Obsidian are fairly limited due to everything being based on Markdown.

Thanks for watching! I'm so happy it was helpful to you 😁

Thank you! I'm so glad you like enjoyed it and found it useful 😁

Thank you so much for watching my videos 😄 I’m glad they’ve been helpful to you. I do plan on doing a video about the Projects plugin in the near future! Let me know if there’s anything specific you hope to see covered.

You’re welcome! 😁

I’ve got a video demonstrating how to use Obsidian’s template system: th-cam.com/video/IR5Enc2MV3Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wlh8r_4R30MUBi9F Give that a watch and let me know what gaps there still are so I can address them in a future video 😁 Thanks for watching!

@creadevlabs Thxxx U are amazing!!

You should be able to see if a note mentions another note in the “Unlinked Mentions” section. It gives you the option to link the notes there, and then you see those connections in the graph view.

The embedded video in a note will take up the width of the note, so there’s not really any control there without getting into CSS. When embedding a video in a Canvas, you can resize the video just like you would any other card.

@creadevlabs Ok, thanks for your reply

You’re welcome ☺️ Please let me know if you have any other questions!

@creadevlabs you can! you can place the number of pixels you want the embed to have after an "|" in the square brackets, just like you would when renaming a linked note like shown in 00:40:00. So e.g. [|500].(TH-cam Link) or even [|500x300].(TH-cam Link) works with pictures as well 😊 (not sure if it works with other embeds though, haven't tried that!)

Oh wow, that's amazing! I had no idea! Thanks so much for sharing 😃
