Show all marker previews together

Open Nitero opened this issue 10 months ago • 4 comments

I am taking notes for geoguessr and usually have an image at the top of each golocation note.

It could get a better overview of how certain areas look if I did not have to hover over the individual markers to see these images. Maybe there could be a toggle that would make it so all of the previews show at once. I can imagine that there might be problems with overlapping though, so maybe the previews would have to shrink or rearrange dynamically?

Beautiful to see the new hover popups used like that!

It should basically be possible to make a "pin" button for the popups, so they won't close automatically until you explicitly close them. But:

  1. There is no mechanism to make this persistent, i.e. if Map View is closed, you'll need to recreate the popups. And when you do want to close them, it will need to be one by one.
  2. This requires a few meaningful changes that are not just about a pin button and disabling auto-close, because the mechanism that tracks the creation of the popups and cleaning up their memory when no longer needed, will need to change too.

With the limitations described in (1), is this truly helpful?

No I don't think it would achieve what I want with this limitation. I don't really want to compare a small number of notes, but get an overview over a big amoun, or even all of them... Maybe this feature would need to be it's own separate map view or smth?

This seems like a very different product :(

That's a shame, but I kinda get it. I was also thinking if I could just show the images the way I want using a dataview query, but I'm not sure how or if that's even a good approach since it wouldn't be itneractable at all... Maybe I'll wait until you rework the markers to use the built-in obsidian preview and then try my hand at making a fork
