Repository files navigation

TagFolder

This is the plugin that shows your tags like folders.

screenshot

How to use

Install this plugin, press Ctrl+p, and choose "Show Tag Folder".

Behavior

This plugin creates a tree by tags permutation.

Like this,

Simple case

If you have docs,

Apple : #food #red #sweet
Pear  : #food #green #sweet
Tuna  : #food #red

...and more are shown.

Case of respecting nested tags

The nested tag works well for Tag Folder.

Tag Folder respects nested tags and makes the dedicated hierarchy. The nested child doesn't leak out over the parent.

TagFolder Readme: #dev #readme #2021/12/10 #status/draft
Technical information: #dev #note #2021/12/09 #status/draft
SelfHosted LiveSync Readme : #dev #readme #2021/12/06 #status/proofread
Old Note: #dev #readme #2021/12/10 #status/abandoned

Tag hierarchy of status

Tag hierarchy of date

Search tags

You can search tags. like this:

sweet -red | food -sweet

When using this filter, this plugin shows only "Pear" (Sweet but not red) and "Tuna" (food but not sweet).

Settings

Behavior

Always Open

Place TagFolder on the left pane and activate it at every Obsidian launch.

Use pinning

We can pin the tag if we enable this option.
When this feature is enabled, the pin information is saved in the file set in the next configuration.
Pinned tags are sorted according to key in the frontmatter of taginfo.md.

Pin information file

We can change the name of the file in which pin information is saved. This can be configured also from the context-menu.

Item Meaning of the value
key If exists, the tag is pinned.
mark The label which is shown instead of πŸ“Œ.
alt The tag will be shown as this. But they will not be merged into the same one. No # is required.
redirect The tag will be redirected to the configured one and will be merged. No # is required.
Disable narrowing down

TagFolder creates the folder structure by collecting combinations of tags that are used in the same note, to make it easier for us to find notes. When this feature is enabled, collected combinations are no longer structured and show as we have organized them in a manner.

Files

Display Method

You can configure how the entry shows.

Order method

You can order items by:

  • Displaying name
  • Filename
  • Modified time
  • Fullpath of the file
Use title

When you enable this option, the value in the frontmatter or first level one heading will be shown instead of NAME.

Frontmatter path

Dotted path to retrieve title from frontmatter.

Tags

Order method

You can order tags by:

  • Filename
  • Count of items
Use virtual tags

When we enable this feature, our notes will be tagged as their freshness automatically.

Icon Edited ...
πŸ• Within an hour
πŸ“– Within 6 hours
πŸ“— Within 3 days
πŸ“š Within 7 days
πŸ—„ Older than 7 days ago
Store tags in frontmatter for new notes

This setting changes how tags are stored in new notes created by TagFolder. When disabled, tags are stored as #hashtags at the top of new notes. When enabled, tags are stored in the frontmatter and displayed in the note's Properties.

Actions

Search tags inside TagFolder when clicking tags

We can search tags inside TagFolder when clicking tags instead of opening the default search pane. With control and shift keys, we can remove the tag from the search condition or add an exclusion of it to that.

List files in a separated pane

When enabled, files will be shown in a separated pane.

Arrangements

Hide Items

Configure hiding items.

  • Hide nothing
  • Only intermediates of nested tags
  • All intermediates

If you have these items:

2021-11-01 : #daily/2021/11 #status/summarized
2021-11-02 : #daily/2021/11 #status/summarized
2021-11-03 : #daily/2021/11 #status/jot
2021-12-01 : #daily/2021/12 #status/jot

This setting affects as like below.

Merge redundant combinations

When this feature is enabled, a/b and b/a are merged into a/b if there are no intermediates.

Do not simplify empty folders

Keep empty folders, even if they can be simplified.

Do not treat nested tags as dedicated levels

If you enable this option, every nested tag is split into normal tags.

#dev/TagFolder will be treated like #dev and #TagFolder.

Reduce duplicated parents in nested tags

If we have the doc (e.g., example note) with nested tags which have the same parents, like #topic/calculus, #topic/electromagnetics:

  • Disabled
topic
     - > calculus
         topic
               - > electromagnetics
                   example note
         example note 
  • Enabled
topic
     - > calculus
          - > electromagnetics
              example note
         example note 

Filters

Target Folders

If we set this, the plugin will only target files in it.

Ignore Folders

Ignore documents in specific folders.

Ignore note Tag

If the note has the tag that is set in here, the note would be treated as there was not.

Ignore Tag

Tags that were set here would be treated as there were not.

Archive tags
