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 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 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 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 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.

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 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.
