Editing box is too small

Open ronrdev opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

My use is, I would like to view a table with chapter/note summary, and update the summaries. Seems simple but none of the database/project plugins do a good job at something this simple (end user interface rendering part I mean) My screenshot might show how minimal I mean.

The summaries are long and the input box is small. Can this be bigger for easier editing?

Added dataview table just as reference. You'll see in the screenshot that the input form window is too small to comfortably use for longer text entry. Screenshot (3)

Couple other things of interest: The only change I made was with css:changed overflow nowrap to overflow normal. I did this so I could read the full summaries in the table but this did not help with editing. Possible to allow word wrap as an option.

Also this version doesn't work with lists. For me each list item is showing up as one word.

Also I turned off suggestions and it still makes suggestions. Tried on the plugin panel and the gear icon per query options.

I added sortable plugin later just to test and show. You can see it in the screenshot sorting by the Order column. Dataedit seems to somehow work with Obsidian Sortable plugin, but doesn't show any toggle. An old plugin I use to select the sort column for the order of the files. Sortable is not updated any longer but still works my use case. Maybe you would want to build something like this into Dataedit. Drag and drop would be ideal.

I saw rendering markdown is also possibly on the roadmap.

Is this plugin still in development?
