Can you add an option to randomly flip cards and another idea?

[Madmaxneo]

This is mainly for the Oracle cards. When a card is drawn and it's upside down it usually means the opposite of what the card means. This would make it much more viable for games that use Oracle cards.

The other idea I have is the ability to create custom layouts for the cards. I have a few different card decks that are made for RPGs (like the Oracle Character Generator, Deck of Worlds, and a few others). I have images for all the cards and it would be really cool if I could set up custom layouts for how the cards appear or where I can place them so that they are more in line with how the different systems work that use them.

Just released 0.3.6 version that adds a 50% chance of a flipped card 🙌 Custom decks can't be flipped for now 😓 But maybe I could add a configuration file for custom decks, not sure how it would look like.

I'm not exactly clear on what you mean by custom layouts. It does make sense to have a virtual table where you can arrange your cards though, I agree! In 0.3.6 I added an optional feature for copying images that you draw from a deck, so you can click on a card and ctrl+V it into a note or a canvas. The feature is a bit trash right now because it'll create new "Pasted image" file in your New attachments folder every time. I'll try to make it reference the correct file instead a bit later.

I think this is referring to the fact that the Deck of Worlds cards are square, and some of them are meant to be flipped on two sides while others have things written on all 4 sides

[alexkurowski]

Oh, that's interesting, I haven't heard about it. Will definitely look into it more.

I've released 0.3.7 just now. With it, you can create a note config in the same deck folder and add a line to it flip4. After refresh it will rotate images at random in all four directions. Let me know if it helps!

Yeah the deck of worlds cards have 4 variable sides but if you figure out the copy and paste thing I can rotate them all I want in canvas or excalidraw. It'll be great once you figure out the flip thing for custom cards but having the option to turn it off and on is important also. One deck of cards I use has negative cards for each of the major arcana cards so those don't need to be flipped.

A new option has been added in version 0.3.12!

Unfortunately, I can't think of a good way to keep the flip info without creating unnecessary image duplicates. But if you pick "File path" card click option in plugin settings, you should be able to immediately paste the card into Excalidraw and rotate it manually.

Obsidian Image Toolkit allows you to "pin" a rotated image to the screen

But will it create a new pasted image in the files?

[alexkurowski]

I played around with Image Toolkit, it don't create duplicates but it only allows you to pin an image on the screen and it don't seem to persist between sessions.

I think for something like Deck of Worlds it's best to pick "File path" option, copy-paste a card into Excalidraw and arrange it manually.

Hello @alexkurowski ! I would like to ask to the flipping of the deck of cards to be optional by selecting an option o the menu. Most ways i use the tarot don't use it flipped, and it changes the meaning of the pull. I love having the option, but would like it to be optional, not default behaviour (or at least that it can be a choice). Thank you for your hard work, is realy amazing to see how much you update the plugin and listen to feedback, I really appreciate it!

[alexkurowski]

Good point, added an option in 0.3.19.
