In Obsidian v0.14.15, the maximise-active-pane-obsidian plugin doesn't work with the sliding-panes-obsidian plugin enabled.

I have 3 pages,
1st page for taking note
3rd page for pdf viewer
middle page for temporary taking note.

I want to hide the middle page. possible ?

Thank you .

Doesn't seem to work on iPad Pro.
Or am I missing something. How do I maximize in iPad Pro?

Both "Sliding panes" and "maximize active pane" complemented each other nicely before obsidian reached version 1.0.x

Although, "Sliding panes" is obsolete now, "maximize active pane" is still needed, because there isn't any shortcut in core obsidian allowing to focus on one pane only in "stacked view"

There are 2 more plugins to focus on our active pane in stacked view, but I love more the simplicity of your plugin,
"maximize active pane" should be a core feature as well, because it's needed in stacked view - for those who use tabs, they won't understand why "maximize active pane" is necessary

Currently I can't use "maximize active pane" anymore, because your plugin needs an update, it's incompatible with newer versions of obsidian as it is interfering with plugins that render diagrams or mind maps

I suggest you to revise and update/ upgrade your code and then to ask the developers of obsidian to incorporate "maximize active pane" into its core features, because needed for "stacked view"

It would be great if whenever you open a new pane windows (eg command+click on a link) that maximisation would be disabled.

After maximizing the panel in focus and working on it, I unmaximized. This is what I got:

I had to correct it with a refresh - I presume that should not be necessary.

When there is both a horizontal and a vertical split present, this occurs:

Obsidian : v0.15.9

Before maximising (everything ok)

Maximising the central pane (everything ok)

Unmaximising, coming back to normal view => buggy

=> Orange : a part of the previous panes disappeared behing the one that have been maximised.
=> The one that have been maximised stay larger than before

When scrolling left

=> When scrolling left we see that panes are going behing the one that have been maximised

When scrolling right

=> When scrolling right, curious things happen 🙂

Workaround

Close de buggy note and reopen

Thanks for your work 😉

One of my workflows in Obsidian involves reading long texts. Obsidian has an option "Readable Line Length" that really fits my need just for long text reading

My suggestion is the combination of Maximise Active Pane and Readable Line Length. An option to toggle Readable Line Length ON when the Maximise is ON.

Readable OFF

Readable ON

I have a friend who is starting to use Obsidian and he can't use shortcuts because of a disability. Would it be possible to add an option in the context menu (right-click) to open the file maximized and then another to restore?

I am on Samsung Tablet S4 with the new Obsidian version. After the update maximizing doesn't work. If I have 2 panes open and call the maximize command, then 1 pane disappears, but the other is not maximized. Cycle through panes plugin seems still to work.

version 1.3.5. desktop public.

When switching back out of the maximized tab, it seems to show the first tab in the stack while at least having the cursor in the previously maximized tab.

Relatively minor issue but annoying. Hopefully you can get around to it. :)

In Obsidian 0.9.21 (not sure about earlier versions), maximizing only works correctly if all panes fit in the window width (so, if there is no horizontal scrolling needed).

If that's not the case, maximizing a pane only hides the others while keeping the same width.

To illustrate, before maximizing :

After maximizing pane "Untitled" :

Others have seemed to point to an Obsidian Update that might have made this Plugin Stop Working.

A suggestion to use another Plugin, "Pane Relief" to Maximize the Pane was given. This Plugin however, Maximizes the Tab, Not the Pane specifically.

There is still a need for this Plugin to Work (Maximise Active Pane)!

Please Help!

Hello,

I really love this plugin. However, it has a crucial flaw:

Assume you have an audiofile embedded into a note in Pane1, and said audio-file is currently running/being played back. If you now maximise another pane, say Pane2, the audio file stops playing. While an edge-case, this is at times extremely irritating. From testing I assume that all the other files are not actually closed - otherwhise un-maximising a pane would reset the audiofile back to its start.

I would really appreciate if this could be fixed.

Thank you,
Sincerely,
~Gw

Before Maximize:

After Maximize:

As described in title.

Interim solution:

1. Use File Tree Alternative Plugin
2. Make sure when you press the hotkey or use command to maximise a pane, sidebar tab is focused on File Tree Alternative Plugin, NOT the Original obsidian File Navigator.
3. If you switch the tab to File Navigator later, the maximised pane will turn into blank, and you just have to un-maximise the pane, and do the step 2 again.

Would it be possible to include a setting where when entering fullscreen, the pane takes up the entire window, occluding any sidebars that may be open at the time?

A table-like organization with 2x2 notes.

Maximizing an article that is in the left column.

Maximizing an article that is in the right column.

Html code:

its difficult to figure out if the current note is maximized or if it is the only note open. Can we have some kind of indicator for that?

Any chance of getting a fix? This was pretty key for my workflow.

Hi there. I don't know if this plugin is still maintained? I like it a lot, however I encounter an issue.
Once activated, if I try to jump around in the note using the outline in the side pane, it bring me to blank (empty) space, no matter high header I click on...

Strangely, if I then click on a different tab, then come back to the previous tab, the blank space is replaced by the header I was tying to jump to. So it seems like there is some kind of needed "refresh" issue that happens... ?

I'm aware there is a focus mode plugin, however, as far as I can tell, it does not allow me to use the outline which is what I am trying to do. I wonder if a fix to this plugin is possible?
Thank you.

I've noticed an edge case that doesn't seem to work. I currently have 3 panes open side by side with a single document in the left column, 2 documents in the middle column (one on top of the other) and a single document in the third column (see first screenshot below). Maximising works great for all notes except the one in the 3rd column. The result of maximising the third column is shown in the second screenshot below. Is there a way around this ? I don't have any custom CSS applied.

Hi there, I would like to request a feature modify. Supposed I have different windows in my workspace, I maximized one of them and went back to the workspace, then I found out that all the other note windows jumped to the head. It is quite annoying to address the location again every time.

Thank you for considering my request

When a note page is maximized by the "maximise active pane" plugin, Links within this page cannot be previewed through "hover editor" plugin, the author of "hover editor" plugin thought it is the "maximise active pane" plugin creator's responsibility to fix it

This feature request is similar to this one: Allow hide current page

Thanks to Andy mode, we can open a lot of panes at once. But I found myself in a number of cases where, say I have 10 panes, I want to just view 4 of those without having to close the other 6. If I wanted to just view one of those notes, the plugin already does what I want, but sometimes I want more than one to be displayed while also want to keep the others open yet hidden.

I'm wondering if you are interested in implementing this as a feature as it might be a whole 'nother plugin that simply hides selected panes (where hiding all except one pane does what your plugin already does).

The plugin is cool but not fixed, here is an alternative:
