This is a Obsidian plugin to keep the filename and the first heading of a file in sync
Note: This plugin will overwrite your first heading at the top of the file the moment you open it, so this can be considered destructive.
Discussion on the obsidian forum here
- When renaming the current file -> will update the heading
- When opening a file that doesn't have a heading yet -> will insert one
- When opening a file with a different heading than the current file name -> will update the heading
- When updating the heading of a file -> will rename the file
If you're not a fan of automatic renaming you can also disable the "File Save Hook" and "File Open Hook" in settings and just use the manual sync commands (thanks @mnaoumov!)
-
First check if this is already solvable by adding a regex rule. For example if your file always ends in
myfile.foo.md
(endingfoo
), you can exclude this globally by adding the following regex rule in the plugins settings:.*\.foo\.md
-
If that didn't do it, see if the other plugin acts on file-open. If it does, you can go into the settings of this plugin and disable the 'file open hook' as a workaround. (You can also fully disable automatic syncing by disabling 'file save hook' as well)
-
If this still didn't solve the issue, open a new issue with steps and examples how to reproduce the problem.
Disable the file-open hook in settings and they should play together nicely (#40)
- When renaming a file that isn't the current file, nothing will happen. The heading will get updated the next time the file is opened in edit mode
- Special characters that obsidian can't handle will get auto-stripped
