Available Settings
Stored directory path for exported Markdown files. Accepts vault-relative paths such as
Notes/Canvas or Projects/Materialized. Note: the current implementation always derives the export path from the Canvas file’s location and does not read this value at export time — see the note below.Default Export Directory
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Setting name | Default Export Directory |
| Description shown in UI | Fallback directory for exports. |
| Default value | Exports/Canvas |
| Type | Text input |
Projects/Debug.canvas, materialized files land under Projects/Debug/<ColorFolder>/. The Default Export Directory value is saved to plugin data but is not read during the current export process — the implementation in exportSelectedNodes() derives the path exclusively from canvasFile.parent.path and canvasFile.basename. This setting is stored for potential future use as a true fallback.
How to Change the Setting
Open Obsidian Settings
Click the gear icon in the bottom-left corner of the Obsidian window, or press
Ctrl+, (Windows/Linux) / Cmd+, (macOS).Navigate to Canvas Card-Materializer
Scroll to the Community Plugins section in the left sidebar of the Settings panel, then click the gear icon to the right of Canvas Card-Materializer.
Edit the Default Export Directory field
Locate the Default Export Directory text input and type your desired vault-relative path, for example
Notes/Materialized or Projects/Canvas-Exports.Settings are persisted by Obsidian’s built-in
saveData / loadData plugin API. The value is stored inside .obsidian/plugins/canvas-card-materializer/data.json in your vault. You can inspect or manually edit that file, but changes made while Obsidian is open may be overwritten by the next in-memory save. Currently, the exportPath value is saved and loaded but is not used by the export logic — all export paths are derived from the Canvas file’s location at the time of export.
