rien7 commented 1 year ago

you can select "frontmatter" in "General Setting", and the data will save in the file frontmatter where the tag in

hi, thanks. I did notice it now. I can't use that approach unfortunately as it clutters the frontmatter too much.

Plus it looks like there might be an issue (or have been reading other reported issues here) that it will also make changes to the existing yaml... one of my date containing yaml fields was formatted as "string" value, which changed the date from 2022-12-18 to 129324263242 (at least similar).

An API or perhaps a specific note which contains all the tag information would probably be a better approach.

i will try to fix this next version.

If you choose "save data in plugin", the data will be saved in "${VALUE_ROOT}/.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-colorful-tag/data.json". But i can not find a good way to expose these to user. Maybe it will be a query way just like "dataview" or anything else in the future.

If you have any idea, please let me know.
