Enhanced Asset Management System with Modern UI/UX Improvements #13731
Comments
|
I have spent a great amount of time and effort creating these design concepts. Please, it is my humble request not to close this feature request, as it would break my heart. I really really wish to see this type of assets management in SiYuan, even if it happens by mid or end of 2025. I'm looking forward to these most high priority three features: Enhanced Assets Management, Gallery View, and Kanban View. I need these features very badly. Even if you require financial support, I would be happy to support you via GitHub. I think you should focus on these three features this year. |

+1 I've been thinking about this |

OMG! This is amazing! I just saw it on Discord, a must-have feature! +100 |
|
Really like the modern design that make you feel doing PKM an enjoyable activity, love your concept there :D |
|
I will try the Asri theme! Your design ideas are like a dream now. If these designs become real in Siyuan, I think I will stop using all other PKM tools. This is exactly the kind of feature everyone wants! thank u for amazing work. |

I hope to provide some additional information on existing features/plugins: OCR: SiYuan already supports Tesseract OCR. OceanPress OCR Plugin supports UmiOCR + text selection on images. SAC AssetsManager Plugin: A SiYuan's Eagle-Like Plugin currently under development. It supports notes, images, HDRI, 3D models, node flows, and brushes. https://github.com/leolee9086/SACAssetsManager |
|
But I strongly agree with the idea of treating "assets as first-class citizen." |
Well, you've got a point here, but the concept designs I made should be native features in SiYuan without any plugins. I always prefer native features so I don't have to rely on plugins too much, and these plugins are nothing close to what I just showed in the shared images. Since SiYuan already has a very basic, simple asset manager in settings, why not develop it to its full potential? |
|
We plan to implement the gallery view this year, but there are many scenarios where assets management is required, so it would be better to implement it through some specific plugins. Due to limited development resources, we can only consider implementing basic functions. Of course, if community developers contribute PR, we will also consider integrating them into native functions. This issue will remain open until February so that more people can see it, and then it will be closed. Thank you for your understanding. |

Someone please make this real! I always wanted this kind of assets management in Siyuan @UsmanTechJive did fantastic job here. |
Thanks! I feel the same way, brother. I just hope someone from the community can turn these concepts into reality, this is a much needed feature. |
Thanks, appreciate that. I think it's best to keep it open, someone might make this a reality someday. I would do it myself, but I don't have enough plugin development knowledge in deep. |
|
Just a suggestion but it would help if the post is renamed with help seek and is pinned, it's easier to missed when there are issues daily |
couldn't agree more. |
Yes +1 |
Great idea, I support it. |
I support it too. |

@88250 can you pin this somewhere so it's visible to all other community devs? This is exactly what I've imagined for Siyuan, and I really really need these features so badly! 🙏 |
|
+1! |
|
This is the most needed feature for me. +1 |
|
A very good and certainly ambitious idea! I would definitely use this on a regular basis. I have to work with images a lot. This kind of image management could take the user experience to a new level. |
|
I wanted to add that this kind of implementation seems to be the most versatile to use. I.e. it will be useful in a huge number of scenarios for many users. |
Your concern is valid, but I still believe in the developers’ ability to deliver. I’ve been using SiYuan Note for two years and have seen how they’ve worked steadily to improve the software’s stability, performance, and features. The progress they’ve achieved is truly remarkable. |
Totally agree with you! I tried SiYuan a couple years ago and then left for Obsidian, but have been following the SiYuan project. All this time I saw how they are actively working on the project and have made a lot of progress. I would especially like to mention the databases. |
Could not agree more - my story is similar! I started my journey with Obsidian, but since I found Siyuan back in 2023, I switched immediately and have been using it ever since. All credit goes to the devs who put their heart and soul into this app, providing amazing features that even Notion and Obsidian don't have. Though Obsidian's plugin marketplace is huge, Siyuan still stands out, and it's fast as well. |

I found this through a Reddit post, and I've been looking for exactly this feature! Thanks to @UsmanTechJive who created the designs to show the perspective and possibility. Honestly, I've never seen this in any PKM tool, and if SiYuan successfully adds this feature (either natively or through community developer support), I'm sure many many people will switch to SiYuan. Plus, from what I've heard, the developers are planning to add gallery and kanban views this year - if that happens, I won't need Notion, Obsidian, or similar tools anymore in my life, and I think many others will feel the same. I wholeheartedly support this idea a million times over! +1 |

Been looking for this kind of feature for so long ... +100! |
|
Can we have both a Gallery View for the first half and a Kanban View for the second half of this year? 👀 |
|
For my use case, this can be extremely helpful. |
|
Just a recap for newcomer:
Edit: From the poll on the Chinese community that is holding x10 more vote than the English, Gallery View > Kanban View > Calendar View |
Some additional information is needed here： The development team is likely to decide which view to prioritize based on the cumulative votes from both the Chinese and international communities. Currently, it seems that the gallery view is the frontrunner. |
Ah, thanks for that. The Chinese forum before this was blocked to unregistered user that doesn't have a Chinese phone number, so I didn't go looking over there. Let me edit the recap. |
|
is any community dev willing to turn this into a reality, any one? |
In what scenarios do you need this feature?
As a long-term SiYuan user. I've identified several key scenarios where improved asset management would significantly enhance workflow:
But first I want to express my gratitude to:
As my usage has grown, I've accumulated numerous assets within SiYuan. To better communicate my vision for improving asset management, I've created detailed concept designs in Figma that focus on two key areas:
1. Bulk Asset Management:
2. Asset Organization:
3. Banner Image Management:
Describe the optimal solution
Based on my Figma concept designs, here's the optimal implementation:
A. Settings Dialog Enhancement:
1. Add three distinct tabs:
2. Add search functionality in each tab:
B. Used Assets Features:
2. Image Management Tools:
3. Intelligent Image Processing:
- Automatic OCR on image import:
- AI-powered image renaming (Name, Description & Tags):
C. Banner Cover Selection:
1. Modern Waterfall Layout:
2. Search Integration:
Describe the candidate solution
The proposed design maintains SiYuan's clean aesthetic while adding modern functionality that would significantly improve asset management workflow.
Settings - Assets Management:
Drag & Drop Files:
Delete Button:
Opened Image:
Change Banner Cover UI:
Assets Management Icon in the Toolbar:
Implementation Suggestions:
I think each image should be stored inside a folder with a JSON file containing all the tags, name, description, OCR text, and thumbnail. This would make it easier and faster to load and search in real-time.
Note: Even if you implement the core features and basic UI, Asri (theme creator) and I will do our best to further improve the overall UI with animations, backdrop blur effects etc.
