Describe the problem:
Currently, the plugin provides an excellent way to fetch and display YouTube transcripts within Obsidian, but lacks a built-in way to delete transcripts after they're no longer needed. This can lead to vault clutter, especially for users who frequently work with transcripts for temporary purposes (e.g., research or project-specific note-taking).
Proposed solution:
Implement a feature that allows users to easily delete transcript files. Potential implementations could include:
-
Sidebar Delete Button
Add a delete button in the plugin sidebar next to the "Copy Transcript" button for quick removal of the current transcript.
-
Context Menu Option
Add a "Delete Transcript" option in the right-click context menu for transcript files in Obsidian's file explorer.
-
Automatic Deletion Setting
Add a plugin setting to automatically delete transcripts after a configurable period (e.g., 1 day, 1 week, 1 month).
Benefits:
- 🗑️ Reduced vault clutter by removing unnecessary transcripts
- 🎛️ Better user control over transcript management
- ⚡ More efficient workflow for temporary transcript use
Alternatives considered:
While users can manually delete transcript files through Obsidian's file manager, this is less convenient and discoverable than a built-in solution.
Additional context:
This would be particularly helpful for users who:
- Use transcripts for temporary research
- Work with many videos and want to keep their vault organized
- Prefer to only keep transcripts they're actively using
