Where is Eagle V5? PLUS Eagles 1st party AI Organizer plugin The Self Discovery Channel | Creativity 2026-08-17 | Eagle - My favorite local first digital asset manager - has been very quiet lately as they work on the new version of their software.I use Eagle to help me keep track and organize all sorts of things for creative projects and its built in search tools are enough to let me find whatever I need when I need it with some initial footwork. That initial footwork becomes even easier to do with some help from AI plugins.So where is Eagle V5?! It's coming along but it's grown into a complete rewrite that will turn Eagle into a server/client type program. Meaning that you can have your assets on your NAS or the laptop you keep in your closet while you access it from the desktop app on your desktop in the living room - Or through your phone, the browser, etc.EAGLE LOUDLY SAYS THIS IS NOT A SUBSCRIPTION OR CLOUD STORAGE MOVE. I also go over their new AI Actions plugin (and the AI Models companion plugin needed) and do a light comparison to the 3rd party AI organization plugin I looked at earlier, AI Autotagger. I much preferred AI Autotagger - It consistently follows directions, lets you build actions as complex as you need them to be, and has more toggles/settings so your text AI instructions can be more precise. With that said, AI Actions will probably hit the right spot for some people to be what they need.- Eagle Website: https://eagle.cool/- Version 5 Blog Post: https://eagle.cool/blog/post/eagle-v5-development-update- Eagle AI Actions plugin: https://community-en.eagle.cool/plugin/ai-action- Eagle AI Models plugin: https://community-en.eagle.cool/plugin/ai-sdk- AI Autotagger plugin: https://community-en.eagle.cool/plugin/4B56113D-EB3E-4020-A82C-6214FA08CB14SUPPORT THE NETWORK: 🟠 https://animalcracker.link/patreon ⬅️ FREE Extra videos + e-zine each month!💌 https://animalcracker.link/acmezine ⬅️ Print zine mailed to you each month!🍵 https://animalcracker.link/kofi ⬅️ One time donation to say "Thanks"!More From The Animal Cracker TV Network 📡🎨 Software & Creativity: youtube.com/@animalcrackerart🎮 Indie & Solo Gaming: youtube.com/@animalcrackergaming 🖼️ Comix & Zines: youtube.com/@thecomixcatalog🎴 Trading Cards & Pogs: youtube.com/@PackHunterTV🎭 TV Based Comedy for Millennials: youtube.com/@animalcrackervarietyhour📺 The Complete Animal Cracker TV Viewing Guide is available at https://tvguide.animalcracker.art

@snipd Finally Gets an Obsidian Plugin | Podcast audio clips saved to your notes The Self Discovery Channel | Creativity 2025-11-22 | Snipd is a Podcast app that I adore and have talked about before. It let's you take chunks of audio and save them to your account with option AI-magic that provides transcription, summaries, and more. Before you could only import your snips to Obsidian manually (via the Snip mobile app by downloading a markdown file to your mobile vault) or automatically via Readwise. Now there is a beta sync plugin available! Currently, you have to install it manually or via BRAT but it will be in the community plugin repo at some point.It's a solid foundation for a syncing plugin. My only gripes are that it doesn't have embedded audio players for the Snips in your markdown notes (While the current manual import does!), it doesn't allow us to insert/add our own frontmatter properties in to the imported episode notes, and it doesn't note the snips as being "insights", "advice", and "anecdotes" like the mobile app does (I might be the only person that absolutely loved the update that brought that feature!)Chapters:00:00 What is Snipd?04:15 New Beta Obsidian Plugin for Snipd 05:40 Installing VIA Brat and Set up06:47 Test Syncing Some Snips11:00 Default Snip FormattingThings mentioned:- Obsidian: https://obsidian.md- Snipd: snipd.com- Plugin: obsidian.snipd.com______________💌 https://animalcracker.link/acmezine 💌I've decided to use Stamp Fans as a way to do a short physical, mailed to you zine each month!

Managing My Creative Projects with Bases | Obsidian Early Access Plugin The Self Discovery Channel | Creativity 2025-07-02 | I go through how I'm using Obsidian's new core plugin, Bases, to organize my creative projects. It uses just Bases and the QuickAdd plugin to create notes that 'belong' to other notes - Including large project groups with subprojects, documents that belong to the subprojects, and comments that can be left on any Note, Canvas, or Base in your vault.Each type of note has a tag - This is how the Bases grab each type of note they need (So the folder placement of the notes does not matter!) and a "Belongs To" front matter key. QuickAdd will automatically fill out the Belongs To field with the note you use QuickAdd from, streamlining the creation of connected notes.The Comments are created using QuickAdd and live in a tucked away folder in your vault and only seen through the use of placing a Base into your side bar that will automatically show you any comment notes that Belong To the active note you're looking at, even if you are looking at a Canvas!DOWNLOAD A TEST VAULT: animalcrackerart.gumroad.com/l/qciajeNote that Gumroad wants you to type in an email when you download. This will let me notify downloaders of new versions (If I want when I update) but you can just type in a fake email and you will still get the download button to pop up so feel free to lie.Things mentioned: Obsidian (Catalyst License needed for Bases plugin) - https://obsidian.mdQuickAdd - https://quickadd.obsidian.guide/docs/______________▶️ Subs on YouTube are immensely appreciated!☕ https://animalcracker.link/kofi 💖💖💖💖 🟠 https://animalcracker.link/patreon🔖 https://animalcracker.link/sponsoranepisode📺 https://tvguide.animalcracker.art______________

Bases Finally Arrive to Early Access | New Core Plugin The Self Discovery Channel | Creativity 2025-05-23 | Obsidian has just introduced a new core plugin to the Catalyst/Early Access License holders: Bases.This first party Dataview competitor is fresh out of the box and definitely going to be limited for the hardcore DV/DVJS power user but for most Obsidian users I suspect this will be a much needed, user friendly approach to light databases in their vaults.Each Base lives in its own .base file which can be opened up and modified like that, so if people really want to stress test the plugins powers they can dive into the underlying code that makes up each base. Each base can also have different filter sets you can easily toggle between with a dropdown menu.Things mentioned: Obsidian https://obsidian.md/______________▶️ Subs on YouTube are immensely appreciated!☕ ko-fi.com/animalcrackerart 💖💖💖💖 🟠 patreon.com/animalcrackerart🍬 https://shop.animalcracker.art/coffee______________

Your Obsidian Attachments in Eagle - the new s3agle plugin The Self Discovery Channel | Creativity 2024-08-28 | Your Obsidian saved attachments in Eagle? It's more likely than you think.Eagle is a Digital Asset Manager for Windows and Mac. This new plugin gives some level of integration between these two programs. When you drop an attachment into Obsidian the file will be stored in Eagle. Amazing! However, currently we can't embed or preview files from Eagle directly into Obsidian - I'm hoping the new Eagle plugin center will change this - but with a third component we can get around this. Amazon S3. 1. Drop file into Obsidian2. File gets uploaded to an S3 object bucket3. File gets stored locally in your Eagle Library, in a Folder of your choice along with the S3 url stored with the item4. Obsidian gets an external embed pointing to the S3 upload, allowing for previews of the attachment filesA tad clunky but the remote upload has some utility beyond just allowing for previews in Obsidian - No Obsidian Sync space taken up by attachments but they will still show up on mobile and other connected Vaults. You can potentially hook this bucket up to other web apps - like mount it in NextCloud - and have some level of online access to your Eagle Library.FORGOT TO MENTION IN VIDEO: Local upload can also be toggled on a per note basis via YAML Frontmatter and there is a Command Pallet option to upload all images already in a note to S3/Eagle. Check out the Github documentation!Now we are just missing a media picker from Obsidian that let's you select items already in your Eagle Library!Things mentioned:- Obsidian: https://obsidian.md- Eagle: https://eagle.cool- s3agle Github: github.com/turnercore/s3agle- Amazon S3: aws.amazon.com/s3__▶️ Subs on YouTube are immensely appreciated!☕ ko-fi.com/animalcrackerart 💖💖💖💖 🍪 Check out the whole network https://animalcracker.art__Chapters:00:00 Intro01:20 s3agle by Turnercore04:25 Setting up your Amazon S3 Bucket/User11:40 A Little Bit About Eagle15:55 Testing Out the Plugin20:00 Your Attachments in Your S3 Bucket21:20 How Eagle Stores Files
