Custom semi-hierarchical note/vault structure

Questions & Help

Welcome.

About your “question”:

  • There is currently no way to make any big restructuring at the file system.
    • Thus what you have belongs to Feature Requests.
      • There are already similar (not identical) requests (e.g. here), that you could vote for.
  • What you describe is a very specific folder structure that may fit your specific needs, but not the needs of many others.
    • Logseq tries to be generic enough for serving many different needs.
    • You may find better support asking instead for customization.

If you don’t mind, I would like to question your approach:

  • Assets are not knowledge, so managing those is not exactly knowledge management.
    • Knowledge is not about grouping things together, but about associating them with each other.
      • This results in a graph (the scientific meaning of it).
    • Parent-child relationships in Logseq are just a specific type of association, not meant to exist at the folder level.
      • A hierarchical tree is just a type of graph.
  • If e.g. Minecraft is a topic full of “saves, screenshots, settings, videos etc.”, I would expect to dedicate not a single Logseq page (and thus a single .md file), but a full Logseq graph (and thus multiple .md files) to Minecraft alone.
    • Within that graph there would still be a central page named Minecraft, but most of the assets would be in other pages, referencing this one.
      • They would still be visible in this one, not needing to navigate away.
    • In Logseq a graph already has its own folder and subfolders.
      • Again this structure is not currently customizable.
      • There is currently no good way for inter-graph integration.
        • This is another request.
