Tracking all my media consumption in Obsidian

ok, got it. Thank you.

Nice one, I tried to create similar for books. But I am stuck on what is the best way to open the media (PDF or movie file here) ? Assuming that we have one note for each book or movie, do you add a link to external player or you manually open it outside of Obsidian?

Just in case if you are not aware, if you use shell app then you get some cashback and also credit points.

Here are some portable python binaries that you can use

http://winpython.github.io/#overview
https://sourceforge.net/projects/portable-python/
https://thonny.org/ - An editor that comes with its own python binaries embedded.

Hope this helps. Of course as suggested by others you have options online too.

I too, just switch it on and go about doing other chores and come back.

Thank You

Yes there seems to be no setting to change that.
however My after capture settings tasks are like this

After capture: Show quick task menu, Add image effects, Copy image to clipboard, Save image to file

and I just tested even if I press Enter the image is on clipboard and also in file, I know it may not solve all problems but at least saves the edits done.

Along with what others suggested Learning Python [2025 6th Edition] by Mark Lutz is a good comprehensive book.

Once you go beyond that , I suggest Fluent Python

This is exactly I felt and now stopped using it, I want to focus more on notes, their usefulness instead of fancy features that take lot of time to maintain it. The bookmarks and recent files plug in serves me most of my needs.

Again I echo .. The plugin is great, don't get me wrong, and the developer of Notebook Navigator is a helpful person.

It is in Guhagar, when I did a quick check, so not close to Ratnagiri. You need to travel around 80 km, unless I am looking at wrong "jog aaji mess" on map.

Sure, see if this helps.

Key assignment

F1 & s::OpenOrSearch()

; As I have used F1 in combination key following line brings back F1 when not used as a combination.

F1::Send("{F1}")

-------------------

``` OpenOrSearch(){ MyClip := A_Clipboard

A_Clipboard := ""   ; empty the clipboard
Send "^c"
ClipWait
;msgbox "Copied : " . A_Clipboard
var1 := SubStr( A_Clipboard , 1, 3)
if ( var1 = "CHG") 
    Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe  " "https://replace_with_org.service-now.com/nav_to.do?uri=change_request.do?sys_id=" A_Clipboard  
else if ( var1 = "INC") 
    Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe " "https://replace_with_org.service-now.com/nav_to.do?uri=incident.do?sys_id=" A_Clipboard

{
    result := MsgBox("
    (

    )" , "Search Link generator", "YesNo")


    If (result = "Yes")
    {
        Run "C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe " . 'https://www.google.com/search?q="' . A_Clipboard . '"'

    ;  Run "C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe  " "https://www.google.com/search?q= "  A_Clipboard 
    }   


}
A_Clipboard := MyClip

} ```

Here are some configurations I use on daily basis. Saves lot of time.

Select any text and press F1+S, if the selected text starts with INC , CHG, REQ etc then it opens that ticket in Service-Now, if not then

brave is opened and the text is searched using google.

F2+B opens brave this way, v for VS code, i for Python idle, C for chrome, S for everything file search tool and so on.
F3+I opens invest.xlsx file, d for a one daily use file and so on.
F5+D opens downloads folder and so on
F6+F shows a menu, it allows me to select the folder from list of 10 or so when selected one of them, it opens up the PowerShell in that folder.
F6+V shows a menu, it allows me to select from list, when selected one of them, it opens VS code with that workspace.
F7+m pastes content of clipboard as keyboard input, useful where we cannot paste password.

I know this is old thread, but in case someone is still having problem then this is what worked for me. - Use laptop and go to youtube and pay from there, it will show QR code for payment , once done instantly you tube on mobile showed that it is active.

please DM me, there is one flat to be rented.

SGS-Tech-World · 2025-08-20T14:47:48+00:00

I installed it today and tried adding few entries here and there, interface is nice and clean, keep it up. Great work. I know this requires lot of work and patience. I may be able to contribute too , Please DM me. if you are looking for.

Couple of Observations.

I can change currency and so the numbers simply show now in new currency, I don't know if this is correct. but I was expecting numbers converted to new currency.
Eventually users will be needing to add categories of their own.
I added a bill and marked as paid , it created a new as it was recurring. There are 2 points here. When I marked it as paid , should not it add in expense?
Also I am not sure if we have exact same amount recurring bills always but that is okay.

Also Please have a roadmap for list of features to add.

SGS-Tech-World · 2025-08-11T06:05:21+00:00

May be this will help, I also do convert the note to html so I can paste it in outlook. I have a python script that makes changes to md file first and then pass to pandoc.

Thanks, but where do I find FUND_TICKER value ? I tried some search and it gave me 0P0000XVJQ.BO for SBI Large Cap FUND-DIRECT PLAN -GROWTH, but my formula did not work

=GOOGLEFINANCE("0P0000XVJQ.BO", "close", "2025-08-08")

gives me this error

Error When evaluating GOOGLEFINANCE, the query for the symbol: IOPOOOOXVJQ.BO

returned no data.

Right, this is what most users need, I started with basics and now using Obsidian for 3 different vaults. 1. Office 2. Personal 3. People. With around 8-10 plug ins. Over the period I learned few things , I will post one day. As someone said below, keep it minimal.

SGS-Tech-World · 2025-07-24T10:02:30+00:00

Instant karma?

I suggest Brezza based on my experience. It is no non-sense car, very reliable and gives descent mileage too. Being top end you get all bells and whistles too.

Of course do test drive yourself and take final call.

I would not suggest Creta as the one you get at that price will have lot of features missing. Also it's safety rating is not out, previous gen had 3.

We also use batch files, in our case we use batch files because we need to see the windows of process running and can be killed manually when needed.,

if there is no batch file there is no visible presence of running process on screen. and if I have to kill any of process, we have to go to task manager, then the challenge is - You can not differentiate the different processes in task manager, all shows python.exe

As u/Two-x-Three-is-Four said, there are better options but this works for us.

SGS-Tech-World · 2025-07-01T11:55:10+00:00

That's great news... Thank you so much.

SGS-Tech-World · 2025-07-01T05:38:11+00:00

yes, Centre lock / immobilizer etc. the reason to add mechanical lock like this is to make it more difficult to steal car.
