  • Updates1

Identify duplicate notes based on similar aliases and filenames.

This plugin dynamically expands aliases and filenames at runtime, preserving the integrity of files.

Features

View duplicate aliases

Easily identify aliases appearing in multiple files, organized into lists. Aliases originate either from filenames or from aliases within files.

Duplicate Aliases View

Header Overview

The header displays the number of links to aliases along with the number of lists. Hovering over it reveals the count of unique lists.

Header

Color-coded Origins

Alias origins are color-coded for clarity.

  • Red: Alias derived from the filename.
  • Light red: Alias derived from aliases within a file.

Hovering over an alias reveals its source file and origin.

Bullet Points

Interactive Links

Clicking on an alias opens the corresponding file, streamlining navigation and editing. This feature facilitates quick file renaming with a single shortcut, especially for filename-derived aliases.

Reading Mode

Highlighted aliases enable quick identification and removal with a single mouse click if necessary.

Clicking on links in Reading Mode

Source Mode

Pre-selected aliases with a leading or trailing comma (if available) allow easy removal by pressing backspace.
