Obsidian Toolkit

[pseudometa]

Over last couple of weeks, I compiled a bunch of features related to Obsidian. It's already been tested by a bunch of people from the Obsidian Community, so should be rather stable. Noticed at some point that I only shared it in the Obsidian Forum and not the Alfred Forum, so here it is. 😅

 

(I know that there are other Obsidian workflows, but they mostly focus on stuff like daily notes and after all have a very different feature set.)

 

Full Feature List
- Search your Vault (Open note, append clipboard, open in new pane, copy hook, ...)

- Fully browse your vault folder structure via Alfred
- Open Starred Files/Searches

- Open Recent Files
- OCR Screenshots (see image below)
- Search the Obsidian Documentation
- Search Community Plugins and directly open them in Obsidian or GitHub
- Search & Preview Community Themes
- Create Backups of your Vault
- Enter Dual Mode (Edit + Preview)
- Create a new note
- Open various folders in .obsidian
- Open the Obsidian settings
- Toggle a CSS Snippet
- One-Click-Convert a font file to base64-CSS
- Open your current theme CSS file
- Access your themes and snippets via Alfred
- Quickly create a new CSS snippet from clipboard content
- Display a list of Obsidian's default variables

This is great! Thanks for sharing! Would love to give it a try.

I found out is also good to use obsidian combined with Popclip and Readwise

thanks for the great workflow. 

I have a little problem here asking for help.

 

I've already set up the scratchpad_note_path and opening scratchpad with 'oo' works perfect.

But I don't know why the scratchpad don't work, I typed 'oo', then some text but nothing appears in the scratchpad note. I'm new ,please help me, thanks!

@dddd, thanks!

 

Could you open a bug report at GitHub, reason being that the bug report form asks for various kinds of information I'd need to debug.

I'm a idiot, I forgot to install Obsidian plugins Advanced URI & Metadata Extractor , problem solved, tks!

version 3 of the workflow now makes full use of Alfred 5's new workflow configuration system, which should make the (dauntingly many) settings of this workflow more accessible.

 

Also, there have been so many new features added since I last posted here, that I cannot really list them all – refer to the README on GitHub for all features:

https://github.com/chrisgrieser/shimmering-obsidian#feature-overview

 

 

This workflow is now slowly getting growing into a size similar to the Spotify Mini Player 🙈

 

(cc @vitor this is what I meant  )

After upgrading to version 3, I do not understand how to enable the QuickAdd plugin for when I type "on" -- I would greatly appreciate help with that. It's creating a new note when I enter the name of a Capture macro, which is not the desired behavior.

@JMK Thanks for the report – it was a bug with transitioning the settings from Alfred 4 to Alfred 5. Should be fixed in version 3.1.1.

 

Also, the very same bug actually prevented auto-update from working 🙈

So everyone who is using 3.0.0 to 3.1.0, please manually update once. Sorry!

[JMK]

That worked, thank you. I just had to make the default value "checked" for the variable `use_quickadd`.
