The project "Xlog" has been completed. It discusses how to improve the experience of opening plain text files (like txt, js, json, csv) in Obsidian, which typically defaults to external editors like Notepad or VScode. This can disrupt active thinking, especially for users who prefer an all-in-one solution. A better approach is to install the third-party plugin Unitade, allowing seamless opening of these file types directly in Obsidian. Users need to configure the plugin by adding the desired file extensions in the settings, separated by semicolons. This setup enhances the usability of plain text files within Obsidian.
