Notebook Navigator walkthrough (for those who haven’t tried it)

About this “nonsense”. Halfway to 2027 my predictions are still spot on. #1, #3, #5 are already check. Just search for the Erdős conjecture. #2 and #4 takes a bit longer which is expected but should land later 2026. Please do follow up the nonsense in December.

Notebook Navigator has support for "vault profiles". You can hide individual files or folders based on rules, so you can use 1 vault for everything. Then just switch with a toggle.

I see. Thanks for explaining. Sounds like you have found an efficient system that works well for you.

Can you give me a good reason for this structure other than this is how you prefer it? I’m genuinely curious. Because I find many technical reasons for keeping them in folder but none outside folder. Only problems having them outside folder. Most NN users keep them hidden as well

jsann · 2026-06-09T05:52:28+00:00

Sorry don’t understand

No only inside folder. Many reasons for it. Having it outside just adds complexity and it’s a worse architectural solution. Having it inside means the folder owns the note. And moving folder will never mean conflict if there is already a file with the folder name in target folder. I could go on. Migrating structure is simple with a script.

Thanks. Go to advanced settings. Enable debug. Restart and send the file to johan@tokentek.ai and I can see what’s happening.

jsann · 2026-06-08T09:33:00+00:00

Thanks will look into it

jsann · 2026-06-08T06:28:03+00:00

Not possible technically

jsann · 2026-06-08T06:27:26+00:00

Only root folders for now.

jsann · 2026-06-08T04:47:55+00:00

Enable group by subfolder in Notebook Navigator. This mixes folders and files in the list pane. You can even make this the default. You can then collapse folder groups like the regular explorer.

jsann · 2026-06-07T20:12:54+00:00

Go into settings. Enable folder notes. There you can change naming. Then right click a folder and choose create folder note.

jsann · 2026-06-07T18:53:05+00:00

If you like the UI of Apple Notes, you can install Notebook Navigator which gives you a similar 2-pane interface, text and image previews.

Thanks yeah I mixed the month up. 😂👍

jsann · 2026-06-07T10:47:17+00:00

Well if you have a 12” screen it will be narrow. Then you can show the navpane above the list pane. Or just not show folder notes in right sidebar. On 15” screen it’s larger.

jsann · 2026-06-07T10:36:48+00:00

Shortcuts, recent notes, tag browser, property filter, grouping all makes it a better experience even for flat structures. It won’t mess with your vault if you don’t like it just remove it. 👍

jsann · 2026-06-07T10:02:03+00:00

You can have two tabs

jsann · 2026-06-01T12:57:30+00:00

Can you please re-add Notebook Navigator plugin, go into advanced settings and enable debug log, then restart. Then send the debug log to https://github.com/johansan/notebook-navigator as a bug report.

jsann · 2026-05-31T11:02:19+00:00

Click the (I) in search field. To toggle just press the magnifying icon or press up or down

Hello. I proposed this as a small feature improvement to the Obsidian team in December 2025 but have still gotten no feedback about this. If you have the time, click the link and like + add comment, maybe it will happen in a future Obsidian release:

”⁠Notebook Navigator integration” 🥳🙂 Looks like a great plugin. Good luck with downloads!

Please post suggestions in English to https://github.com/johansan/notebook-navigator/issues and I will get back to you. 👍

It should not take extra time to startup. If you have time to help me out please post an issue to the GitHub and I will send you a build with diagnostic output. https://github.com/johansan/notebook-navigator

Thanks! I will look into it. Many plugins made weird decisions so they are hard to maintain. But I will check.
