This project currently has 2 main goals, integrating the opening of specific obsidian vaults directly into [rofi](https://github.com/davatorium/rofi), and circumventing a shortcoming obsidian currently has, which is being unable to select which vault to open at startup.

This programs makes use of x-scheme-handler to open the program that is currently assigned to handling `obsidian://*` URIs.

# Example installation

### Using cargo

#### From crates.io

Execute:

```sh

cargo install rofi-obsidian

```

#### From source

Clone the repository and execute:

```sh

cargo install

```

### Using Nix

#### Nixpkgs

```sh

nix profile install nixpkgs#rofi-obsidian

```

#### Latest changes

```sh

nix profile install github:Nydragon/rofi-obsidian

```

### Manually

Either add the binary to your $PATH environment variable or move it into the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rofi/scripts folder.

## Final Step

Don't forget to modify your config.rasi in the following way:

Add `"obsidian:rofi-obsidian"` to the `modes` array and `obsidian` to `combi-modes`.

You may circumvent step 1 and specify the entire path to the binary instead: "obsidian:/home/nico/.config/rofi/rofi-obsidian".

A minimal config example could look like this:

```rasi

configuration {

    combi-modes: ["obsidian"];

    modes: ["obsidian:rofi-obsidian"]

}

```

# Troubleshooting

## Obsidian doesn't start

Make sure that one of the following programs is installed:

- xdg-open

- gio

- gnome-open

- kde-open

## A different program starts when using the plugin

Execute the following command (or an equivalent command to inspect mime type associations):

```bash

xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/obsidian

```

It should return the executable being used to start Obsidian.
