Tried skipping step 4, or not killing obsidian, but the UI didn’t update simply after saving changes to the workspace file. I tried manually doing this without writing a wrapper. Hopefully the whole thing takes no more than a second. have the script edit $vault/.OBSIDIAN/workspace and set 'file': 'the_file.md' under “main” (most obvious for this POC anyway and maybe another cmdline argument could be path to $vault so it only kills and modifies that one vault).have the script killall obsidian instances (could be more sophisticated…).assume the script takes the desired file to open as an argument.(optional) associate the script/executable with OS default app for.create a wrapper script/executable to use as command line opener for obsidian.md filetype, opens in current Obsidian instance. Click on hyperlink, opens with default app for.

Use python scripts and/or manual work to generate spreadsheets with custom columns, formatting, and hyperlinks which go to specific markdown files. Now just run caja -q to quit Caja – you will need to manually close the folder opened as administrator – and when you restart Caja, your new icon will be in the context-menu, as well as Caja’s File menu.I was imagining having indexes living in excel spreadsheets. Now rename your replacement icon to utilities-terminal.png and drag it into the folder, and OK the overwriting of the original file. I have Windows set to automatically sync the time. So open up that folder as administrator with: gksu caja /usr/share/icons/gnome/16x16/apps Dual booting Windows 11 and Linux, every time I boot into Linux and then boot into Windows my Windows Time is off by 4 hours. It turns out it’s actually in Gnome’s default gnome icon theme, with the icon being in /usr/share/icons/gnome/16×16/apps, and terminal.png is actually a symbolic link to utilities-terminal.png in the same folder.

If you look in /usr/share/caja/extensions the file libcaja-open-terminal.caja-extension mentions Icon=terminal at the top, but your current theme may not even have terminal.png or terminal.svg in it. png and it will work! That bottom icon in the image, the magenta inside a silver frame, is an SVG image, but as you can see it worked just fine. And if you found the perfect icon but it’s an SVG vector, not a PNG file, don’t worry – just rename the extension to. So keeping it fairly simple will probably give the best results, and if you’ve got a bunch of icon themes installed, you can do a search through the parent folder for “terminal” to see if there are 16px icons to your liking. But if you’ve found a larger terminal icon that looks great, note that it might not look so hot when it’s shrunk down to that size in the menu. Ideally the icon should be 16x16px, but using a larger one will actually work, so no need to resize it. While it’s not a huge deal, if it kind of annoys you, and you’d just rather have an icon of your choice for this, then keep reading.

While you don’t even need this extension to achieve this (check my tutorial on how to achieve this with a script and have the terminal open with the F4 key!), for many of you being able to right-click inside a folder and click Open in Terminal is easy and vital.īut if you’ve changed icon themes a bit, you may have noticed that the one icon that doesn’t change is the one for Open in Terminal. The Caja extension caja-open-terminal for opening a terminal with its path being the current folder is a must for most users.
