Use case or problem
Imagine What would it fell like if you had to use the Left-Pane (tree
view) in Windows Explorer Only; and couldnt use the right-paene(content
view).
This is exactly what i feel, when to swtich between various and different files in obsidian.
2ndly, we mostly use Windows Explorer to navigate in our computers. Many
a times, i have to create a ‘new’ txt file urgently, that i would also
like to save in obsidian vault. I hate it when I have to make the file
first (cant do that in obsidian directly, as i told its many a times its
urgent). then, open the vault in explorer in another window. then, move
that file into the vault’s location.
Proposed solution
Add these two features:
-
You rememer when we are downloading something from browser a WindowsExplorer popup shows up, asking us where to store that file. Just like that, we want a popup to open (as a File Manager, where i can copy, paste, move, rename, and open multiple instances of FileExplorer window etc. ).
-
when we install MS Word, it automatically adds an option to ‘create a word document’ when we right-click anywhere inside Windows Explorer. Also, right-clicking any file also shows option of ‘Open-With → MS Word’. Obsidian can this too. And its incredibally necessary feature.
Current workaround (optional)
currently, when its urgent, i just make a txt file inside Windows Explorer, Without Using Obsidian. its faster (But the notepad’s bright white screen hurts my eyes).
