PDFs not getting added

[sonu27]

Hi,

Is there a way to make my PDFs get added into the repo?

Hey,

.pdf is one of the valid file types that Quartz Syncer supports. Quartz Syncer supports the same file types as Quartz.

Can you please verify that the file in question is linked in at least one note that is published? Quartz Syncer does not publish files to GitHub that are not linked anywhere.

The linking works in Obsidian and shows up when I was using Quartz before.
However, it just does not add it to the repo. Do I need to link in another way?
Any more info you need to debug?

I've tried using a simple filename (e.g. a.pdf) and linking without the view. Same problem

I also have run into this, although it was just through a regular wiki-link, not an embed. SyncerPageCompiler / extractBlobLinks seems to only match for links with the ! prefix.

Yeah, that is intentional. It is supposed to match embeddable files. Unsupported file types will be ignored.

I suppose there is a valid use-case for linking (not embedding) files regardless of embedding support in Quartz, though it is kind of an anti-pattern to deploy arbitrary, non-embedded files in Quartz instead of delivering them via an external host. For an example on why this matters: https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/1b14bty/netlify_just_sent_me_a_104k_bill_for_a_simple/

I'll look into ways to approach this. Probably will add a setting to enable/disable linking arbitrary file types.

Thanks @saberzero1

More context on my use case: Previously I was rsync to do a one way copy to my quartz repo and then run the sync command.
But after finding your plugin I might it more convenient to not leave the app.

I would like a way to have everything in a certain folder published, I use "Public". The way I see it is quartz builds a list view of items in a folder whether they are linked or not. I know there's a "only publish notes with a publish tag" feature which might collide with this logic.

Hey,

Markdown files do not have to be linked to be able to be published to Quartz. Only non-markdown files have to be linked.

As for your question, you could set the "Vault root folder name" (under GitHub tab) to the "Public" folder in your vault and enable "Include all notes by default" (under Frontmatter tab). The combination of these two settings will flag all markdown files under "Public" as publishable, even if they do not have the publish property set.

[sonu27]

@saberzero1 Understood.

Yes, those are the settings I'm using.
One fix for this would be to upload all files in the specified folder (e.g. "Public")

In this case the PDF file is linked, and part of my vault. Having to upload it elsewhere and link would be a pain.

@saberzero1 Any update to this? Or is there another way I can do it so the PDFs get added?
