Hi Obsidian team,
First off, thank you for making a software that I love to use every day.
Coming from this love, I would like to make a request:
Can we please have the ability to configure what variables are used to calculate and render the size of nodes in the graph-view?
I believe the graph-view is one of the most important features of Obsidian. It has the potential to completely change how we discover, reason about and share new ideas.
After [figuring out how it currently works](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/graph-nodes-size-should-also-depend-on-word-count-in-addition-to-no-of-links/4093/5), [adjusting my own Obsidian install](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/how-i-tested-a-graph-view-idea-by-adjusting-my-local-install/) and [discovering new insights](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/how-i-tested-a-graph-view-idea-by-adjusting-my-local-install/4182/7) I realized that _how node-sizes are calculated is one key to unlock this potential_.
Node-sizing should be configurable to accomodate different ways to investigating the network.
Examples of these variables are (in order of personal preference):
- Number of backlinks (app.js:17627 `l.weight += 0, d.weight += 1`)
- Word count per file
- Length of file name
- Number of outgoing links
- Number of backlinks _and_ outgoing links (current status)
- Tags per file
- Time since file creation
- Time since last edit
Ideally, I could select a variable by clicking in a preferences panel or similar.
Thank you again for your hard work and your consideration.
Alexis
