Better Plugins Manager

简体中文

What is BPM?

Better Plugins Manager goes beyond Obsidian’s built-in manager: delay-start plugins, batch enable/disable, organize with groups and tags, rename and annotate, install from GitHub with release picker, export data for Base workflows, and keep a mobile-friendly UI.

Highlights

• Fast control & batching: toggle all plugins, enable/disable by group, and per-plugin quick switches.
• Organize & document: custom names/descriptions, groups, tags (auto “bpm-install” tag for BPM installs), searchable filters.
• GitHub-aware install: paste user/repo or full URL, pick releases like BRAT, cache repo mapping, and jump to repo from each card.
• Delay & performance: start plugins with per-profile delays.
• Base-friendly export: write plugin metadata to Markdown frontmatter and sync back (safe read-only/write tags).
• Mobile ready: collapsible action/search bars, long-press tooltips, responsive grid; desktop UI remains unchanged.
• GitHub token support: optional PAT to avoid rate limits when fetching releases.

Installation

This plugin is now available on the Obsidian official marketplace.

Usage

• Open from the ribbon “Manager” icon or command palette (Manage plugins).
• Cards let you rename, edit descriptions/notes, tag/group, set delay, open repo/folder, delete, and toggle enabled.
• Filters: by state, group, tag, delay, and keyword search.
• Actions: batch enable/disable all or by group, reload plugins, install from GitHub with release selection.

Export to Obsidian Base

1. In settings, set Plugin info export directory (folder inside your vault).
2. BPM exports one Markdown per plugin and watches the folder for edits.
3. Read/Write rules: bpm_rw_* are editable; bpm_ro_* are read-only; bpm_rwc_repo is editable only when the plugin is not BPM-installed and has no official repo mapping.
