FR: support dendron style flexible hierarchies

[h0uter]

Hi,

I would like to use your plugin to navigate hierarchies based on dot indexed filenames.
(and eventually see these hierachies in a hierarchichal graph view)
As inspired by dendron

To give a short example:

math.matrix.sparse is a note about sparsity in the context of matrices.
I also have a higher level math.matrix note and above that a math note.

Similarly I have a math.signal.fourier-transform note whose parent is math.signal.
In this way a note can function both as a folder and a file.

Another plugin is also looking into this with from a different perspective obsidian-structure

cheers!

Interesting idea, I think the functional part of parsing the dendron would be relatively simple.
First issue is, how do I know where to look for files that should be parsed as such?
I think parsing ever file is unecessary, but what other means should I use? Maybe all notes in a folder?

[h0uter]

Cool!

Well I have all my notes as top level files in root, so if it is implemented so that we can select any folder including the root folder that would work for that usecase.

I guess you want to avoid filtering all files for files that have more than one . in the filename,
and then filtering again for an exact match of the part preceding the .
AKA how to distinguish top level dendron-style notes from non-hierarchical notes.

example:
filter for . > 2 and find math.matrix
then filter again for exact match of math and find the math.md root dendron

@h0uter I've introduced this in 2.9.0 :)
It turned out to work pretty quickly when using all files, I made some optimisations.
To enable it, go to settings, and check under the Alternative Hierarchies dropdown. The settings should explain how to use it, but let me know if you have trouble.

Thanks for implementing this feature. However, I'm still not activate it successfully.
I'm using Obsidian v0.12.9, Breadcrumbs v2.9.0

This is what I did to activate structures with dendron-type notes

1. activate Breadcrumbs in Community Plugins
2. Open Settings for Breadcrumbs Plugin, click Add new hierarchy
3. Go to Alternative Hierarchies, enable the option Add Dendron notes to graph
4. Go to Breadcrumbs on the right side pane, click Refresh index

But nothing still happen as expected in the Breadcrumbs right side pane. Could you please show me where do I need to adjust?

[SkepticMystic]

@andrey-jef that sounds right.
There was a bug (#213) which I've just closed, that might have been affecting you too.
Please upgrade to 2.9.1 and give it a try again

Is there a way to just get a tree view of all the notes if I have them organized in the Dendron way instead of using graphs or the child/parent display which isn't really necessary with Dendron style organization?

[SkepticMystic]

@emillienemann Hey there :)
Checkout Breadcrumbs Codeblocks, might be what you're looking for

@SkepticMystic thank you so much! That works really well. Is there any way to pin the view inside of my sidebar and be able to indent certain categories in the hierarchy?
