[Feature Request] Allow to hide references coming to daily notes #101

Closed satkowski closed 4 months ago

satkowski commented 1 year ago

Hey,

Within my daily notes, I often summarize what I did over the day and refer to the notes I created or updated. However, it is a little bit annoying to see a rather extensive list of references where two-thirds only come from daily notes. Therefore, it would be nice to have the option to ignore links coming from daily notes. Or, that daily note references are at the bottom of the list, to allow one to easier find the references in other notes.

Kind regards, Marc

Hi there, I am not 100% tracking. Would one of the frontmatter directives solve the issue?

Specifically:

Or is it simply a sorting issue?

Hey,

I don't think one of the front matter directives can achieve my proposal. Let's re-iterate again. I would like an option to either (1) remove/hide daily notes from showing in SNW reference view. Or (b) have the option to change the sorting, where the daily notes are presented at the bottom.

I like daily notes. However, I don't see a specific need to see that a daily note from 3 weeks ago has linked to a given document. My interest in relations between other content documents is far greater.

You already provided the option to exclude references from files with the "exclude files" option of obsidian. It is more or less the same, but only for daily notes. I could place my daily note folder in this list, however, this makes them unavailable for any other use.

Hi, I have the same feature request.

I want my daily notes to be excluded from link counting. But I do not want to exclude my daily notes folder from Obsidian.

May I ask for adding a textarea in the settings of SNW, the paths in the textarea (separated by comma) are only excluded in SNW plugin but not Obsidian?

After further review, I have decided against adding this feature. However, there is a directive you can use on properties to prevent a page from being included in the reference index.

I tried out your proposal again. However, I can't get my feature request to work with those YAML tags. Could you please explain to me exactly how I should use them?

If I understood it correctly, snw-index-exclude will remove the link to this document. And snw-file-exclude will only turn off SNW on this page. But both will not enable my feature request to remove the specific file (or in my wish folder) from being counted in other files.

Kind regards, Marc
