Obsidian Quick Arrange (Early Development)

Like what I do? Check out my other creative endeavors here: https://abyssalsoda.carrd.co/

This project aims to clean up and provide up-to-date support for Obsidian Bartender by cutting back on features and improving upon native functionality one might expect out of typical drag and drop file exploring.

Note: This project is formerly forked and modified version of nothingislost's Obsidian Bartender and incorporates aspects of other forked versions such as zansbang's fork.

Installation

Current Method:

• Install it using BRAT

  Go to the Community Plugins tab in Obsidian settings and search for "BRAT" - install the plugin, then copy-paste the repository link for Quick Arrange in the Add Beta plugin section within the BRAT plugin settings.

Manual Method:

• Copy main.js, styles.css, and manifest.json into a folder inside your Obsidian vault's plugin folder (VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-quick-arrange/...).

Quick Arrange Functionality

Current Functionality

• Allow users to drag and drop files between folders when sorting
• Allow users to drag and drop folders and their contents when sorting to other folders
• All other native Bartender functionality

Planned Removal:

• Filters will be removed to allow focus on another plugin I might create called "Conditional Logic"

Former Bartender Functionality

The original README says that you can "organize, rearrange, and filter nav bars, ribbon bars, status bars, and the file explorer."

• Reorder folders/files in the file explorer (Idependently of one another only)
• Use filters when searching through folders/files.
• Rearrange elements in the status bar.
• Organize elements in the status bar and ribbon bar into an auto-collapsible separator.

File Explorer Filtering (Soon to be depriciated)

The file explorer can be filtered using Fuse.js's extended search syntax:

White space acts as an AND operator. To escape white space, use double quotes (e.g., ="scheme language") for exact match. A single pipe (|) character acts as an OR operator.

Token	Match Type	Description
jscript	fuzzy-match	items that fuzzy match jscript
=scheme	exact-match	items that are scheme
'python	include-match	items that include python
!ruby	inverse-exact-match	items that do not include ruby
^java	prefix-exact-match	items that start with java
!^erlang	inverse-prefix-exact-match	items that do not start with erlang
.js$	suffix-exact-match	items that end with .js
!.go$	inverse-suffix-exact-match	items that do not end with .go
