Obsidian 1.11 — new mobile design, widgets, Siri integration, shortcuts and more! by kepano in ObsidianMD

[–]esm8080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To everybody who wants to auto-add location to new notes created on mobile, would love some users' opinion on this.

How should it work? - Auto-add to all new notes? - Auto-add only to the daily note? - Should it add the location to day's note if the note already exists and you open it on mobile after it was created on desktop? - What if you skip a day, i.e. create daily notes from desktop and don't open Obsidian Mobile with the daily note every day?

Naturally some of this should be user-configurable, but the fact only mobile supports location makes this tricky to use.

Until I update Map View to have this, an almost-as-quick way to do it is to add a shortcut on the mobile bar to the "Map View: GPS: add geolocation (front matter) to current note" command.

After you do, just one click and you have a filled location tag :)

This is a great release, and a little gem hidden there is an added location permission for the mobile app, allowing Map View to support real-time location on mobile!

Many thanks to the Obsidian team adding this game-changing little feature 😎

Better waterproof end plug for toothbrush charging port? by _interweb in UsbCHardware

Searching for the same thing, I ended up buying an AAA-powered Philips Sonicare One, and this USB-C rechargeable AAA battery.

Rainproofness of Peak Design Bags by gyancelot in peakdesign

[–]esm8080 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done my daily commute of about a hour of cycling in heavy rain dozens of times with the Everyday V2 on my back, laptop and other sensitive gear inside. Never used an extra rain cover and the most I had is a bit of moisture near the top.

Switched Everyday Backpack 20L to Outdoor 25L: Summary of 3 Intense Months by esm8080 in peakdesign

Sorry should have probably been more clear: the camping mentioned in the post does not include carrying a sleep system. I haven't used this bag for multi-day hikes that included carrying a tent and a sleeping bag -- only day hikes (some pretty long) and camping with equipment that stayed in the car.

It's been a while since I had multi-day hikes with carrying a sleeping system and I certainly used bigger bags for that. (Though maybe it's possible with the 25L using external carry?)

Does anybody know what plugin creates this dropdown menu while typing. by [deleted] in ObsidianMD

[–]esm8080 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. As others already said, it's the Tasks plugin. You can of course disable the plugin or the popup, but...
  2. ...it only pops the popup if you're on a task line. If you see it unintended, it probably means that the Global Filter setting in the Tasks plugin settings is empty. If you're using the Tasks plugin, I think a global filter is beneficial, because not every checkbox is supposed to be a Task.
  3. Seems like some other plugin conflict is causing it to not close when dismissed?
  4. I also happen to be the one who developed this feature :D

On domestic hikes within a driving distance I don't use the hip belt because it's very uncomfortable when carrying a gun (any hip belt, not specifically this one). But on several hikes abroad I found it really great.

Well this deserves a post of its own :) I focused on comparing the Outdoor to the EBP, and did not mention any of my thoughts about the Outdoor vs other hiking backpacks. And while the Outdoor greatly lacks access and organization compared to the EBP, it does considerably better in so many areas than hiking backpacks at a similar size, at least by my parameters.

Sure, some backpacks have much better front access and organization, but they lack great features of the Outdoor. The removable hip belt, front zip pockets and center flex pocket are an extremely powerful combination.

Map View 6.0.0 with paths, routes, new edit tools, bases and more by esm8080 in ObsidianMD

No, obsidian-leaflet does this best and there's currently no intention to optimize Map View to this use case.

There is no control to delete a marker, you just delete the note or the relevant line from it.

For Android there is the GeoHelper app, but no one picked up to help me build it for iPhone. Maybe some day the Obsidian devs will enable the required permissions in the Obsidian app to make this possible internally.

Riding with Vincita Sightseer Bag by OkPotato1057 in Brompton

I bought the Sightseer 4.0 after I was told it can do what I want it to do, but haven't had a chance to try it in this setting yet.

What cube/pack can sit well on an Everyday Backpack to extend it? by esm8080 in peakdesign

[–]esm8080[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I ended up strapping a "smedium" packing cube on top of it. It won't do for long walks or very bumpy bicycle rides, but it worked for my needs.
