"Remember to add a comma after the closing brace, }, of the previous entry." from https://docs.obsidian.md/Plugins/Releasing/Submit+your+plugin lead to the automated check failing, so I removed the comma.

@joethei when you do end up taking a look at this, let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement! Working with Obsidian's graph-view seems to requires some pretty hacky solutions, but I did my best to make them safe by adding interfaces, waiting after a layout change to look for the renderer, etc. But perhaps you have some tricks to make it as reliable as possible - thanks for your time!

You should move all code files into a separate src folder, that makes it easier to review and maintain.

"description": "Link types for Obsidian graph view.",
You don't need to mention Obsidian here.

console.error("Dataview plugin is not available.");
This should also be shown in a notice to the user, not many users will open the console to read the error message (and on mobile it's more complicated to open it)

As for your issue with windows, you need to listen to the window-open event.

[natefrisch01]

Sweet, thanks for taking a look! I'll check out the window event, regroup the code into to a source folder, and change that description.

@joethei All fixes (window event, regroup the code into to a source folder, new notice, and change description) are present in new release 0.2.4 Thanks!

To use the Graph Link Types plugin, ensure the Dataview plugin is installed in Obsidian

I don't see why this plugin requires dataview. You should also listen for the metadata change events built-in to Obsidian so that it can Natively support properties and not require DV.

• fontFamily: 'Arial', you should pull this out of the css var var(--font-default) so that it matches the rest of the API
