Epiphanic Synchronicity

@Tangent5280 What did you end up using?

@Tangent5280 @nodimetotie That’s been asked and the devs have answered a gazillion times. Search the #Obsidian Forum or the Discord.

They’ve already heard all the reasons people think they should and you’re unlikely to come up with anything new that would make them change their minds, so your best options are to either make your peace with it or find an open source alternative.

@ellane @obsidianmd I don’t see an auto link renamer plugin in the repo 🤔

@ellane @obsidianmd That’s yet another Obsidian feature that makes it hard to use anything else once you’re used to it. Being able to read the whole file name seems so obviously better that it’s mind-boggling that it isn’t the standard way of doing things in all apps that manage files.

@ellane @obsidianmd The help docs say you still can https://help.obsidian.md/Plugins/Bookmarks

@ellane @obsidianmd@lemmy.world @obsidianmd@a.gup.pe i use #Obsidian Sync, and on my MacBook, my vault is just another folder in my Documents.

@bowreality @gelberhut It’s fine that some people find it easier to just throw everything in one folder so they never have to think about where to put it, and value that over the benefits of using folders.

I just think they should be aware of the downsides, and others should know that using folders is neither incorrect nor inefficient.

@austingovella @Colman @gelberhut @biscotty @obsidianmd I have a general inbox folder, but I also keep inbox folders for, say, big projects or general areas of interest.

@Colman @gelberhut @biscotty @obsidianmd I don’t think assigning a directory to everything is any more “artificial” than assigning a tag or an MOC, but I do use several inbox folders for notes I want to process later.

@Colman @gelberhut @biscotty @obsidianmd I use MOCs, tags, etc., too. #Obsidian lets you link freely across folders, which don’t constrain you from using other organizational methods concurrently.
