Obsidian Metadata Handler

⚠️ This script has been deprecated. It's not guaranteed to work. ⚠️

A small Python script to update system metadata and then put it into the YAML frontmatter.

Note: This is unoffical and is not associated with the developers of Obsidian.

So far, this script is able to fill in the created and modified dates. Filenames are coming soon.

Use cases

  • You want to move some files around, but are scared of losing the metadata?
  • You want to make sure your grandchildren can read the metadata?
  • You want to use the metadata in a Dataview script?

This is for you!

Running from source

It's recommended to do modified date first, as the modified date will be overrided when updating the YAML frontmatter.

This assumes you have Python and pip installed as a prerequisite.

Modified dates

pip install -r requirements.txt
python obsidian-metadata-handler/modified.py -p "full_path_to_your_vault"

Creation dates

pip install -r requirements.txt
python obsidian-metadata-handler/created.py -p "full_path_to_your_vault"

Native builds

These are being worked on, stay tuned!

obsidian-metadata-handler's Issues

Native Binaries

Native binaries would help with streamlining usage of the program.

I was thinking Nuitka could be used.

Deprecating the project

I've made the decision to deprecate the project, mainly due to a lack of time on my part. If someone wants to take over maintenance, please reach out on the forum thread.

Check on adding `created_date` fails when checking for `modified_date`

User lifesign on the Forums reported an error.

Traceback

$ python3 obsidian-metadata-handler/created.py -p "./test-vault"

    return self.metadata[name]
KeyError: 'modified_date'
