Screwdriver

The plugin for picking and putting hidden files.

You can dump your files which are stored in the specified directory, or put dumped files into any path under your vault.

Note: Since v0.0.7, We can use properties to control this plug-in!

Features

• Dump files from the specified directory with filters and ignores.
• Put dumped files into any path under your vault (including the hidden directory).

Important

Please note that the output of this plug-in is a markdown file, but very large. Make sure to set to be ignored by your other plug-ins. i.e., Templater or DataView.

How to use

Install

You can install Screwdriver in the following ways:

• From Community Plugins
• Via BRAT.

Prepare a command file

The command file is the file which has some directions on the frontmatter; like the following.

targets:
  - .obsidian/plugins/tagfolder
urls: []
ignores:
  - /node_modules
  - /.git
filters:
  - main\.js$
  - manifest\.json$
  - styles\.css$
comment: "'Add target directory' to add targets"
tags: []
adjustObsidianDir: true
skipNewFile: false
skipOldFile: false

However, we do not have to worry so much. We can make this file by Ctrl+P -> Screwdriver: Create or add local file exporting template.

Then, all we have to do is simply pick the target directory, by Ctrl+P -> Screwdriver: Add target directory.
When we choose the Plug-in or Theme, filters will be supplied automatically.

If you want to control more detail, please change the filters and ignores.

• Ignores: files beginning with the letter set here will be omitted while dumping.
• Filters: only the files that match with the expression set here will be dumped.

If you want to export multiple things at once, please repeat the Add target directory

Tip

If we want to fetch the file on the Internet, we can use Create or add remote file fetching template. Using this template, we can retrieve the files from the internet. It may be useful for fetching CSS Snippets from Gist.

Export files

Ctrl+P -> Export specified files and store into the active file to export files into the activefile.
