Metadata Menu UPDATE: Editable queries and better property options

Man, another great video, super very detailed, I will watch this a lot of times.
One more time, thanks a lot!

Thank you and appreciate you taking the time to make this video.

Wow, thank you for this - once again - excellent and comprehensible video with your great explanations, examples and tips. I've already learnt so much from the videos you've made and I'm delighted every time a new explanatory video comes out. The longer the video, the better 😂 1000 thanks and I wish you a Merry Christmas and all the best!

Finally, i can try to change Notion to Obsidian!

Sorry if you covered this and I missed it, but is there a way to select multiple files in table view when editing a property like in Notion?

What a master class, ty so much! What a useful plugin and tutorial!

In the core properties link dates have a link icon at side.

Thanks!

First thank you for this video I was tired of editing each fields after clicking icon at right of file link and it was getting dizzy as more properties are added in file class.
By the way, I've just tried to embed metadata menu's table view with ```mdm``` as you guided, but it seems to be pretty slow when field changes need to be updated to embedded table's saved view. (It took several seconds and obsidian halts while view is being updated.... It's not actually what I want to feel whenever I check 'Done' checkbox)
Is it only for my case? OR do you also experience this?

Very nice new features in this release and very well explained - as always. Thank you for that.

When the updates come, you work hard and make us understand things easily. You not only have to learn the new things first, but also make a presentation (concise, neat, and easy to understand nevertheless) to feed us.
You said you have been recording things the whole day and editing them and so on, I really express my gratitude.
Thanks a lot for this updated guide to the Metadata Menu plugin.
Love you... Keep happy, healthy and benevolent as always.
😍

Just the video I have been waiting for thank you.

Preset field setting is most useful for fileClass field itself...

Good video, I love the work you do, the dedication you put into it and how much you prepare to go deeper into all the functionality of the plugins.
I am very interested in opening a discussion (although this may not be the best forum to do it) about how the plugin ecosystem works, let me explain; In my opinion there are core functionalities that are better if they are developed by the official obisidian team for several reasons;
1 there are functionalities that are key and that if they are integrated directly into the core of plugins MANY more people will try them and incorporate them into your note-taking flow.
2 The official development team has a more mature view on how simple or how much customization to deliver without becoming overwhelming. I think there are people, and not a few, who are going to abandon a plugin that could be useful because it is too complicated to use, in this sense the amount of customization should be incremental and the most complex ones should be hidden to the most novice users.
3 The menus must be visually interesting and, above all, easy to understand and be more integrated into the new appearance of Obsidian.

This is a great video! Thanks!

Btw, just to clarify - if I choose links type for the property, I can also add external links, not only internal ones, right? I use this to point where I took the info for my source notes from. I copy things from all sorts of places that might change or disappear with time

really comprehensive video

Thanks, Danny. The overeating and drinking of Christmas always fogs my brain, so I had to wait until today to finish watching. Your help with MM has been a great shortcut to understanding.

Incredible resource. Thank you!

For the first time I found a video where you have to slow down the playback speed rather than speed it up 😶

It's as if documentation was in video format... Absolutely helpful...

I started using obsidian about two weeks ago and found it super helpful, only after watching this have I realized how lucky I am to have learnt about it right after a big update

I cant figure out how to use dataview to edit the files from JS view. Have all the settings correct. Is this function broken by chance? Even tried your test template and the changes do not reflect in the files.

Hi Danny thanks for the video it’s really helpful , but I have a small question how can I filter out just today’s daily note from table view of file class , using custom filter so after adding that view to my homepage I can track habit from homepage itself .?

I very much appreciate these meticulous videos, and the fact that there's an index for them, so it's possible to come back later, and dig out the details about a specific setting. One addition I'd like to see is more overview -- short motivating demos at the front, showing what each feature can be used for, and what problems it solves.

I'm not sure what went wrong. I'm not getting the properties icon next to the file name despite having doubled-checked that they're enabled in MM's settings.

So helpful, man.
Thanks for making this, and please keep making these types of super in-depth guides.
Your precise coverage of Obsidian is particularly useful.

great video, fully complete. regrading the 'Dashboard' at the end. How do you get that functionaltiy? i dont see it in core ir a community plug-in called dashboard... thanks for any help

🤯🤯 Wow! Very well explained! Good job! That's exactly what I needed to finally comeback to Obsidian from Tana

Thank you very much!

this is a much better video than your previous one on MM, in that you dive in and show what it does right away (as oppposed to getting into the mryiad option screens). Well done!

The frontmatter is YAML if you go to source edit mode. Do you know why I should use the Metadata Plugin YAML Object type and not just edit the frontmatter in source mode?
I think it would be the same for JSON...
I can find a reason for the 'Accept objects (values are fields)' since I can define the properties of the object and edit them through Metadata Menu (but I can't find a reason for YAML and JSON objects and find real actual differences from the Input field type).

Is it possible to paginate the table view inside the canvas?

Bulk add was recently added

Ah, this is insane! Thanks a lot for the review!

Ufff!!! me has salvado la vida!!!

eep. After installing everything, I am not seeing the (+) next to the class folder @ ?t=9m20s

Core Obsidian Properties are not showing the settings ->editor...blah blah. Is there a video that illustrates how to locate the add properties/metadata?

This video is INCREDIBLE Danny.
Wow! What a thorough and clear walkthrough of Metadata Menu. It is a very powerful Obsidian plugin that takes a lot of time to learn. This is another of your videos I will be returning to to learn more. Thank you!

I'm really struggling to get the multiple items in an 'ObjectList' to appear correctly in DataViewJS. I can manage to get the first item, but not all items appearing in a DataViewJS cell. Been hunting for hours for a way to handle ObjectLists in DataviewJS correctly. Head spinning.

excellent tutorial! Is it also possible to create a field with 'date modified '? I haven't figured that out and wondering if it's possible

Gigachad Plugin

Hi, thanks for the tutorials, you're great.
I have a question about the Table View, specifically being able to see the entries of fields of objects. Any objects that have their own fields are shown in the Table View, including the names of the fields, but not the actual entries. You have to click on the object to see and edit the values of its fields. Is there a way to display them more neatly, maybe in a bullet list? (Obsidian V1.6.5, Metadata Menu V0.8.7, Dataview V0.5.66)

What a spectacular tutorial. You're like an Obsidian super hero

Danny, please help me! How can i use this plugin to show an icon next to the file name at the file explorer if this file is present in my main canvas(my only canvas)? I wanna see which files i have already added to my canvas. Thank you in advance

This is great! Thank you very much
