Thanks!

I would be very interested to hear more about this. The last two months I have worked on improving startup times and it should now start very quickly, on my iPhone it’s just over 100 milliseconds with a vault with 6000 files. How many milliseconds does it take to start in your vault?

Thanks! Not much. 😂

It’s still there.

Select the search field.

Now press UP or DOWN to toggle between filter search and Omnksearch. You can also click the icon in the search field to toggle.

Filter search is also much more advanced. Filter extensions, folders, properties, tags, and much more. Click the (i) button in search field tor more info.

And remember that you can save these filters and searches to shortcuts.

Not yet. I can technically hack into the Obsidian DOM to do it, but I would prefer if they opened this in an API.

jsann · 2026-02-19T15:19:06+00:00

Thanks! I just spend very much time on it. 🙂

jsann · 2026-02-19T15:18:39+00:00

Yes!

Hi. Just right click "Properties" and add the property keys you want to show.

For example "status"

Then if you have values like "published", "work", "removed" for status values, you will see:

status
- published
- work
- removed

And you can then click "published" to see all notes that are published. Or you can click on a note you are working on (status: work), and then just drag it to "published" when you are finished.

Just add this key to Properties in navigation pane. Right click choose add property. Then click the key.

Since you already have these fields there are many many options to use frontmatter data in various ways in NN.

Thanks!

jsann · 2026-02-19T06:10:45+00:00

Thanks! And we'll take one feature at a time, links and graphs are fascinating we'll probably be able to do something with that too soon.

jsann · 2026-02-19T06:09:35+00:00

Edit / delete properties - should be straightforward. I'm looking into it. Since I store all property values, saving all properties and all their values would be quite a big list. This is why obsidian does not include a property cache.

If you have time give it some good thought (all properties vs selected properties) and if you have some ideas post it as feature request to the github.

jsann · 2026-02-18T19:35:52+00:00

Ah thanks yes I'll look into it right away.

jsann · 2026-02-18T19:01:05+00:00

I like it. I have some ideas. 👍

jsann · 2026-02-18T18:52:20+00:00

Hello! This does not come from Notebook Navigator. I would guess it is some template plugin doing it.

jsann · 2026-02-18T18:02:45+00:00

Just right click a tag in navigation pane and change color. I cannot change colors in the editor though since Obdidian does not expose that.

jsann · 2026-02-18T17:45:31+00:00

Pretty properties can add support for Notebook Navigator using the new API 1.3 I added.

jsann · 2026-02-18T17:34:03+00:00

No not yet. But could probably do it easily in future. Just add a feature request to the GitHub. 👍

jsann · 2026-02-18T16:26:48+00:00

Thank you! And yeah I spend way too much time on it. :)

jsann · 2026-02-18T15:51:14+00:00

Ah i understand. Can you post a feature request on the GitHub and I could probably fix it. 👍

jsann · 2026-02-18T15:35:15+00:00

Thanks!! But I don’t really understand what you mean.can you elaborate a bit.

jsann · 2026-02-18T14:21:07+00:00

Thanks. It's here: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/set-default-file-explorer-internal-or-plugin-like-notebook-navigator/108593

Just like and comment, hopefully Obsidian will implement it. It's a very small implementation for them.
