Feature

Use data from csv to generate a graph

Set the path to the csv file containing graph data. Note: Relative path from the vault root to the csv.

Set it to empty and the plugin will behave the same as jerrywcy/obsidian-path-finder.

Find shortest path between two files

From: The item to start from.

To: The item to end with.

Find all paths between files as graph

From: The item to start from.

To: The item to end with.

Length: The maximum length of all paths. Often a path that is too long can be meaningless, so length limitation may be necessary. Set 0 to show all paths regardless of length. Setting length to 0 may lead to Obsidian crushing due to mass amount of nodes rendering if your vault is too big, so use at your own risk.

Paths shown in the floating panel will be sorted from the shortest to the longest. Each path will be calculated on button click, so no need to worry about crushing.
