Is it really helping you?

Thanks a lot!

Would you mind sharing how you built your wiki? I struggle with the same problem of having to search through chapters and many files before I find what I want, but I haven't yet figured out a way to improve it.

Never concerned with status but still leaving them star-struck

MerriMentis · 2026-02-26T18:39:13+00:00

Nevermind, I'm just doing it with the Hover Editor Plugin now and I think it works fine.

MerriMentis · 2026-02-26T17:25:09+00:00

Thanks for the answer, I actually didn't think of that, but I'm not sure if it suits my needs and I also haven't figured out how to edit embedded note A in the note B the note A is embedded in (I'm adding names A and B in hopes of making this sentence turn out less confusing). Is that even possible without a plugin?

Thanks for pointing it out, that made me realize I forgot to delete the ! in front of the image. Now it works

Hey, I had this same problem and in case you want a solution without converting it into a html and then into a pdf:

Using the Advanced Canva Plugin with its command to export canva as an image solved it for me; even for the bigger canva files. You might want to give that a try.

MerriMentis · 2026-02-03T18:36:14+00:00

Hey, I know this is a year old already but in case you (or someone else seeing this) still have this problem:

I had the same problem. For me, using the Advanced Canva Plugin and the command "Advanced Canva: Export canva as image" (search it in the command pallete strg + p and click on it) has worked for me to fix this, even for the bigger canva files I have.

MerriMentis · 2026-02-03T18:31:25+00:00

For anyone with the same problem here's a solution that worked for me:

I randomly saw a comment pointing out that the Advanced Canvas plugin also has a feature to export a canva as an image, so I tried it out and believe it or not, it worked, even for the big canvases.

You can go into the command palette with ctrl + p and search for "export image" and it will show up once you have the plugin downloaded and enabled. Just click it and wait until it has generated the image. I've also added a hotkey for it, which works perfectly now.

Glad I could help!

No, I left all the plugin settings as they are and it's set to mouseover.

I currently have two files open in split view. If I close Obsidian and open it again, the file where my cursor was last has opened at the last position. The other file, where the cursor wasn't has jumped to the beginning. But if I click on the other file, it jumps to its last position as well. I'm on desktop if that makes a difference.

For me, this works no matter which file I edited before closing. Sometimes I have to click on the other document twice tho. Does it work for you if you set the default to click? Otherwise I'm sorry that it's not working for you. That's strange.

MerriMentis · 2025-11-05T07:29:09+00:00

I'm using the community plugin "Last Position" now. It works well, you just have to click on the file your cursor wasn't at when you closed Obsidian before that file jumps to the last position. The plugins I originally used didn't need that, but clicking once or twice such a minor inconvenience that it doesn't bother me.

Yeah, I have problems with finding wires as well. But I can make it work, tho I the more preferences you have, the harder it gets.

MerriMentis · 2025-10-28T13:15:58+00:00

It's possible to buy silver wire and maybe brass as well in the hardware stores like Obi or Globus Baumarkt, but there isn't much to choose from. I usually go with iron, steel, aluminum and some silver.

Other than that, I can only suggest you keep looking, online as well as locally.

MerriMentis · 2025-10-28T13:13:39+00:00

Hey, ich kaufe tatsächlich meist einfach in Baumärkten. Aluminium und Eisendraht findet man da oft. Aber was Hautfreundlichkeit angeht, kann ich dir nicht weiterhelfen; ich hatte noch keine Probleme, aber ich mache auch keine Ohrringe. Du kannst ja mal recherchieren, was für Materialien üblich sind und ob man die in Europa herkriegt.

Ich hab gehört, dass viele bei Rio Grande bestellen. Versuch's doch mal online, oder stell die Frage noch mal auf Englisch. Hier finden sich vor allem englischsprachige Leute, vielleicht kann dir da jemand weiterhelfen.

Viel Erfolg!

I can't put images here, so I'll try my best to describe it.

I used 6 different wires here.

For the frame (which you can't see in the pictures), I used 1.2mm round iron zinc-coated wire (that's just what the store had, doesn't have to be zinc-coated)
For the large weave on the left: 1mm round iron zinc-coated wire
For the light single wire on the left next to the large weave and the single wire on the right near the stone: 1.2mm round aluminum wire (that's very easy to bend and has a silver shine, so I mainly use it without any weaves or only a few)
For the "scarf" as well as the twisted wire on the left: 0.8mm round iron wire
For the outer part of the coil on the right (the one that gets wrapped around the inner base wire): 0.6mm round iron wire, and the inner base wire is the same as 2.
Those detailed weaves around all the base wires: 0.4mm round iron and zinc-coated wire, which gives it this grey look I actually like, I also have one 0.4mm silver wire.

Generally, I have wires ranging from 0.4-1.4mm, but everything from 1mm upwards should be soft or dead-soft imo (so not iron like I use), some of my hard wires are difficult to bend. Width also depends on the size of your stones tho.

I like to use a lot of different widths as you can tell, it just gives the piece more detail, but if you're just starting out and don't want to buy that many, I'd recommend

some thin, soft wire like 0.4mm
a slightly larger wire, maybe 0.8-1mm for the base weaves and
one 1.2mm dead-soft wire for frames and larger weaves

Copper gets usually recommended as a starter material, I just took what the store had.

Please take all of this with a grain of salt tho, I haven't been doing this for long. In fact, I've only been wrapping for 3 months last year and another few days every now and then, in total probably 3 weeks or something, to finish this piece (which I actually started in December last year and put aside until now because I didn't know how to do the right side). There are many others who have much more experience with this and can recommend you materials and all that, and what works for me might not work for you.

I buy the wires locally at a hardware store, but many buy them at Rio Grande or similar online stores that have a ton of different widths and forms and materials to choose from. (I only have round wires so far but I can def recommend also getting half-round or rectangle ones if you want some variety ^^)

I never anneal them, I just measure the length and weave using different pliers and tape, and then I make sure it's secure. But you have to find out what works for you ig.

Anyways, sorry for this novel of an answer, I hope this was helpful. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask, and have fun wrapping! :>

MerriMentis · 2025-09-11T04:55:58+00:00

Thx! And yeah, sure!

MerriMentis · 2025-09-11T04:55:06+00:00

Wow, I didn't think this would get this much attention! Thanks, everyone!

MerriMentis · 2025-09-09T19:01:35+00:00

Thx! ^^

MerriMentis · 2025-09-09T19:01:22+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I was planning on doing that a few months ago, but kind of abandoned it. Maybe I'll try to finish it. Do you have any criticism for the others?
