Hah, no, and deliberately so. But it’s the thought that counts, thanks. Glad I could help!

hi @ryanjamurphy, thanks for this - quick question, in the script is the name of the obsidian database just it’s path location? or how should i be formatting that? thanks so much this is a huge help.
Just the exact name of your vault. No path or ID needed.
do you know of a way for files under a folder in obsidian to automatically inherit tags when placed under that specific folder? im trying to achieve this with devonthink. if not possible I can get a Mac app that does it
DEVONthink’s Smart Rules should work. For any document in the folder, add the tags you want.
@ryanjmurphy this script isn’t working for me, i think because my documents are in nested folders under the main vault name. Is there anything i should do?

If the script “isn’t working”, it might actually help in what way it is not working. Do you see an error message? Is simply nothing happening at all? Is there something reported in the logs of Obsidian and/or DT? Do you see white or black smoke coming out of your computer?
Also, @ryanjamurphy said on the web page for this script (see one of the posts above) that issues should be posted in the github repository for the script.

IIRC, the script just uses the Obsidian URL scheme to open the note by its title. You may have to add in your vault variable, so if you didn’t customize it when you downloaded it, that’s probably the problem. I can’t check at the moment as I’m not at my desk.
i ended up jsut using the json 16 digit code! thanks!

thank you. i agree i was not clear enough! got it to work anyway.
Question on the usage of the block-links aka embedded blocks in Obsidian which is: [[noteTitle#^blockid]].
Quick experiment shows that unfortunately DT3 does not render them:
I understand that is specific implementation of Obsidian … but still it would be amazing to interworking of these two apps aka DT<>Obsidian combo which many people use.
Are there any ways to make this work and/or plans to support this in DT3? Or maybe I missed it somewhere on the forums and there is hack to make this work.
No such plans right now, I’m afraid.

I have read through this thread – maybe my question is answered, but if it is I missed it. But if so, I apologize for the redundancy.
I have just started using Obsidian. I indexed an Obsidian folder in DT3. When in DT3 I click on the item nothing appears in the preview pane. If I double click it takes me to my eBook reader (Calibre) which of course has nothing to do with matter. I guess DT3 does not recognize my Obsidian note as a markdown file. Anybody understand what (probably obvious) mistake I am making?

You can see the type of data DT recognized in the inspector.
And if a double click on a MD file opens Calibre, that program is probably set globally to open MD files. You can change that in the Finder.
Thanks. Since I posted my question I went out to do an errand. When I came back I noted that the DT Inspector revealed that the Obsidian note was indeed an MD file. But now it opens in the preview pane as anticipated. Don’t have any idea why it did not before, however if it continues to work properly I won’t worry. As far as Calibre is concerned, it does indeed open and import MD files (along with many other formats). I don’t think there is any need for me to double-click on Obsidian files in DT, so I will probably leave Calibre alone. But I do wonder why Calibre was set as the default to open MD files (I did change that to TextEdit in Finder). Anyway, thanks again for the explanation.
