Obsidian plugins with #drag-and-drop#

The Custom File Explorer sorting plugin enhances the organization of notes and folders within Obsidian by providing flexible sorting options. Users can arrange items manually through drag-and-drop or configure custom sorting rules via YAML front matter. The plugin supports various ordering methods, including alphabetical, numerical, date-based, and metadata-driven sorting. It allows different sorting rules for individual folders and provides inheritance capabilities. Users can mix manual and automatic ordering, group items by attributes, and utilize bookmarks for easy access.

The Flexplorer plugin extends the native file explorer with folder specific sorting, so different parts of a vault can follow different ordering rules without sharing one global setup. It also adds a custom order mode that lets you rearrange files and folders manually through drag and drop. Pinned items can stay at the top, while hidden items can be kept out of the way when a section gets noisy. The plugin also supports mobile, with the same core behaviour available on touch devices. Its focus stays narrow. It changes how the explorer behaves and how items are arranged, rather than adding a separate workspace or command heavy workflow.

The Dragger plugin adds block dragging to the editor so paragraphs, headings, lists, tasks, blockquotes, callouts, tables, code blocks and math blocks can be rearranged directly in place. It handles nested structures by using horizontal position for indent changes and vertical position for drop location, which keeps list and quote editing more controlled. The plugin also supports multi line selection dragging, a visible drop indicator, right click block type conversion with delete actions and configurable handles with different icons, colours, sizes and offsets. Mobile support is built in too, with long press dragging, a bottom toolbar and edge auto scroll during drag. A separate headless core package is published for reuse outside the app.

The Calendar Bases plugin turns Obsidian Bases results into a calendar so notes with date properties can be viewed where they belong in a month layout. It focuses on entries that already carry start dates and can also handle end dates when something spans more than one day. You can move items on the calendar to reschedule them and the plugin updates note frontmatter to match, which makes the view useful for planning as well as reviewing what is already in the vault. It also supports opening entries directly from the calendar and using context menus for related actions.

The Auto Folder Note Paste plugin enhances how attachments are handled in Obsidian by automatically converting notes into folder notes when content is pasted or dragged in. This ensures that all attachments-such as images or files-are stored neatly within the same folder as the note itself, keeping your workspace organized without manual effort. It aligns with workflows that rely on structured folder hierarchies and is especially useful for users who frequently include embedded media.

The Yori Task plugin turns a vault sidebar pane into a planning space with a task board, a week view and a year view for longer horizon work. It uses backlog, upcoming and later columns, lets you move items with drag and drop, and keeps a Recent Done area close by. You can rename or reorder columns, highlight tasks and archive the current week or year plan into Markdown notes when needed. It also creates linked task rows when note files are dropped into a column, which makes task tracking feel tied to actual notes instead of a separate list.

The Kanban Bases View plugin turns an Obsidian Base into a kanban board where notes are grouped into columns from any chosen property. You can pick fields like Status, Priority or Category, then move cards between columns with drag and drop to update that value directly from the board. Columns can also be reordered with a handle, and the chosen order is saved per property so the view stays consistent between sessions. Notes that do not have the selected value are collected into an Uncategorized column instead of disappearing. Clicking a card opens the note, which keeps the board useful as both a planning surface and a navigation layer. The plugin is mainly for managing Bases when your notes behave like tasks or tracked items.

The Budget Planner plugin lets you keep a working budget inside notes with a plain `budget` code block instead of a separate interface or external sheet. It groups rows into categories, tracks paid and unpaid items, shows counts and totals and lets you edit names, amounts and comments directly in place. Comments can render markdown, so links, tags and wiki references stay useful while you plan. You can drag rows between categories, reorder sections and sort entries by key columns when the list gets messy. Every change rewrites the block into aligned markdown, which keeps the note readable even if you later edit the text by hand.

The Gay Toolbar plugin replaces parts of the default mobile toolbar with a floating, collapsible toolbar that sits above the keyboard and can be reshaped in detail. Buttons support tap, long press and swipe actions, with separate icons and drag based slot editing in edit mode. You can change button colors, set a solid or CSS based background, adjust rows and columns independently and save multiple toolbar layouts to reload later. The toolbar can collapse into a single floating button and can be limited to mobile only. It also includes a command editor for user written JavaScript commands that become local commands. The plugin notes there is no outbound telemetry and that custom commands run only code saved by the user.

The Base Board plugin gives Bases a property driven board view that behaves like a hands on Kanban workspace. It can build columns from frontmatter, move cards between them with drag and drop, rename cards or columns inline and open notes in a native floating editor. Cards can show metadata chips, tag filters, cover images and hover previews, while board level defaults let new notes inherit required properties and folders. It also keeps manual card order through a dedicated property, so layout decisions stay in the data instead of disappearing after a sort refresh. WIP limits and collapsible columns round out the view without hiding the underlying Markdown files.

The Link Structure plugin adds a Structure view for Bases that turns notes linked through an up property into a draggable tree. It visualizes link based hierarchies instead of folder paths, so one note can appear under multiple parents and files can stay connected without folder notes. Moving items in the tree updates links automatically, and holding Ctrl copies a note to another branch without removing it from the old one. You can move several notes together with Shift, reveal the active file in each matching branch, filter the view through standard Bases filters and create subnotes from the context menu. It also follows existing link format settings and optional Templater templates can conflict when files are renamed or moved from a template.

The WebDAV Explorer plugin connects your vault to a WebDAV server so you can browse remote files and work with them from a sidebar instead of switching apps. It focuses on file handling more than sync. You can drag files into notes to create markdown links, preview images and videos, open items with a double click in the built in browser and download supported files into the vault when needed.

The Graphic Organizer plugin turns a vault into a visual tree that shows folders and files on a zoomable canvas. It helps people understand large structures faster and move things around without staying in the file explorer. Files open with a click, folders expand as needed and changes in the vault show up in real time. You can drag files or folders into other folders, use context menus to create or remove items and spot different file types through clear icons. The view also adds large folder warnings, configurable spacing, zoom limits and optional smooth animations, which makes navigation easier when the vault starts getting messy.
