OMG OMG, been waiting for such a plug in for ages!!

thank so much for taking the time to implement this :)

I can define as a root any subfolder in my vault but how does one define my entire vault as root, it gives me an error it dosent exist

here is my vault structure

thx so much for making my weekend!

Thanks for implementing this! I've been meaning to move my Dendron vault over to Obsidian since development on Dendron was paused.

Are you planning on adding support for Dendron schemas? If not, would be happy to take a stab at it eventually.

When notes are collapsed in the Dendron panel, when you switch note, it does not necessarily open all of the tree in order to see the file AND it does not scroll the panel so that we could see the file we are in

Could it be possible to implement this ?

Hi, I appreciate the plugin as I like the thoughts from Dendron, but like what's built in Obsidian, you have my thanks!

I wanted to ask if you've got ways to handle context-based templates. As dendron opts for hierarchical filenames over folders, what are ways to apply a template on the "create" note event? I will note that this would be a subfeature of schema, #2, but has broader purpose.

That is,

If I have a template file template.person and I create a file with a new title, person.obama-barack.
I want the new file to have the template from template.person, how might I accomplish this?

I'm not sure how obsidian orders the handles on the "create" event, but I've not been able to get Templater to modify front matter generated by Dendron Tree, I've only been able to overwrite it.

Edit 1: important clarification in last sentence.

Hi, I managed to run the plugin successfully for the first time, but when I restarted Obsidian, I got a "failed to load plugin dendron-tree" message and there is no "tree view" in the plugin window anymore.

I checked the console and it says the following:

Could you please look into the issue? I've attached a screenshot of the visual bug, if that helps

If more info needed, I would be glad to provide it

When I right click a note in the tree and click "Create New Note", the auto-filled text does not match the capitalization of the original note which I right clicked on.

Just like how you can reveal the current file in the built-in navigation, it would be helpful if you can reveal it in the Dendron Tree plugin instead.

Alternatively, you could also make the Dendron Tree always focus on the active file, just like how the Explore sidebar in VS-Code functions.

Thanks!

Hey, thank you so much for your work with this plugin.

I've started using this alongside an Obsidian plugin called "Structured Plugin". Together, both of these have already been able to replace my use of Dendron inside Obsidian.

I just sent a message thanking the creator of that plugin, and I wanted to extend this as a thank you as well for your work with this.

I'd suggested the creator of that plugin to join forces with you, since both of your work already created a great Dendron alternative inside Obsidian with the hirarchical structure of Dendron but all the advantages of Obsidian.

I think your work will allow more beginners to discover the power of Dendron without thetechnical difficulties of dealing with VS Code.

One of the few essential features this plugin is missing is the ability to rename/refactor notes.

I really hope this plugin to grow, and would love to see a collaboration with the features in "Structured Plugin" if possible just an idea!

Let me know what you think and if you'd be happy to test things and help wherever I can, if you need more attention to your work with this plugin I'd like to make a YouTube video around the idea of (Dendron without VSCode - Dendron Hirarchies all in Obsidian)

Thank you!

Hey @levirs565, this plugin is great. Thank you for making it. I've never used Dendron, but I use the dot-denoted-hierarchy. I created the Crumbs plugin to support my workflow, but there are definitely things missing that your plugin adds.

Do you have plans to add other functionality, such as moving an entire sub-tree?

Could it be possible to add a "Rename" option in the menu when right clicking on a file ?

As of now I use "Bulk rename" to do so, but it's pretty slow to do it :/

I like your approach and implementation.

The only caveat is that DT does not support the opening of a note in:

• a new tab
• a new tab group
• a new window
• a new Hover Editor instance

I have to open a new tab and then click on the file to view it. A right mouse click only discloses the "Create New Note" and "Delete Note" actions.

The chevrons indicating that the tree can be expanded to reveal another layer are always pointed down. I would expect them to be pointing to the right until they are clicked to expand.

Could you add a feature that generates a Dendron tree based on the alias metadata instead of using the note names? I prefer using time-based IDs for my note names, and this would simplify searching for any notes in the suggestion panel using the aliases. Additionally, it would be great if the note names didn't show up in the lookups when this feature is enabled.

I've noticed that the 'desc' field doesn't appear in the lookups. Would it be possible to make it visible in the lookups as well?

Thanks for this awesome plugin!

Hi! Amazing plugin, been looking for something like this since Dendron paused development.

I would love the ability to sort the hierarchy based on the title in the metadata/YAML instead of only file title. I've attached some pictures to show what I mean:

Obsidian with this plugin

Dendron in VSCode

It looks like the tree view is changing the capitalization of my note titles. For example, if a file is named Ledger.TUI, it will be displayed in the tree as Ledger › Tui

Being able to auto-fill selected file name would be very helpful in Lookup

Example

If I press TAB while writing, it will autofill with my highlighted file name. So in this example, it will autofill "r.dev.azure.naming-conventions" into the Lookup field

This would make it a lot faster to add notes deeper into the hierarchy

I specifically need mathjax renders. It is also fine if we can choose to show the file name instead of the "title" property in the tree.

Could it be possible to add a "collapse all / deploy all" button in the Dendron panel view ?

I'm having a LOT of notes, and it's sometimes tedious to collapse all, by hand, in order to be able to navigate better :')

It appears that if you delete a note in the Dendron Tree view it will be permanently deleted, despite having the Deleted Files setting set to Move to Obsidian trash (.trash folder). This plugin is really cool, this drawback has me a bit afraid though as I've been using the Dendron Tree view as my main view always.
