Obsidian Logging to the current Daily Note - Log

[Pearcen]

I'm finding I'm using Obsidian more and more and only needed some simple Alfred integrations to make my life simpler and thought I'd share my basic of basics workflow.

OLog

Allows you to log data to the Daily Note in 3 different ways.
Opens the daily note from anywhere.

Searches Obsidian.

Requirements

Ensure you have Obsidian Community Plugin Advanced Obsidian URI enabled.

Environment Variables

Update your vault name in the environment variable vaultname

Commands

olog <text> - Brings Obsidian to the front, appends current time and starts a new line with the typed text.

clog - Brings Obsidian to the front, appends current time and starts a new line with contents of the latest clipboard entry.

hotkey: <hyper>+o  (or choose your own) - Brings Obsidian to the front, appends current time and starts a new line with currently selected text.

os <text> - Bring Obsidian to the front and searches with the typed text.

odn or hotkey of your choice - Brings Obsidian to the front and opens the current Daily Note.

 

Hope its useful to at least one other person

Found I was using another feature of Obsidian that would make the time entry not working. 

Updated to bypass it as v1.4.1

 

Made a couple of updates to
a - make time logging work
b - highlight where to do some customisations on the format of the data going into the daily note.

Still finding things to update and make it more useful and work properly.

Enjoying it.

Tried adding Oneupdater whilst not 100% understanding it so testing time comes closer.

Let me know what else you need. 

Saddened it took me a while to figure out where the plist was.

Your OneUpdater configuration is perfect, nothing needs to change. Though you should increase frequency_check to at least 1 (I use 4). 0 means it will check on every run.
