CopyGuard

English · 日本語 · Deutsch

K-Tech Studio plugin that finds sync-conflict copies, empty files, empty folders, and leftover temp files. You review the list, then move only what you approve into a dedicated folder. Deleting is a second step, at your own risk.

English

What it does

• Detects conflict copies (Dropbox / official Sync including -conflict- names / Proton Drive / Syncthing / Nextcloud; Japanese, English, German, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese). Lists them even if the original is missing.
• When the original is in the same folder, a badge shows if the copy has the same bytes (name only). Still does not merge
• After a scan, Select identical copies checks only those matching copies. You still review and move them yourself. Compare opens the original and the copy
• Restore indexed files from K-Tech Trash Box to the original path. If something already occupies that path, restore fails for that file (no overwrite). Files moved before 1.3.0 have no index and cannot be restored to the original path
• Optional numbered names like Note 2.md (off by default — easy to confuse with a real title)
• Empty (0-byte) files and temp leftovers (.tmp, trailing ~, Office lock files), with a minimum age in days
• Named 0-byte files (any extension) and empty folders, as one extra scan checkbox. No age filter. A folder is empty only when it has no children
• Skips .icloud placeholders, hidden names, the vault root, the quarantine folder, and files you currently have open
• Register selected files or folders to skip on the next scan (checkbox list in settings; uncheck to include them again)
• Moves selected files to K-Tech Trash Box (name is configurable)
• On startup, if that folder has files, asks whether to delete. Default is keep
• UI: Japanese / English / German / Korean / Simplified Chinese / Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) / Spanish / Portuguese from the app language

What it does not do

• It does not merge conflict copies
• It does not delete until you confirm the quarantine folder
• It cannot stop iCloud or Dropbox from creating copies

How to use

1. Enable CopyGuard
2. Click the ribbon icon (two overlapping pages) or run Open CopyGuard
3. Check what to scan, then Scan
4. Select rows and move them to the trash box. After Scan, Select identical copies checks only copies whose bytes match the original in the same folder. Use Compare when you want to see original vs copy
5. Restore from the trash box to the original path when you need to (command, scan window, or the startup prompt)
6. Delete from that folder only when you mean to (startup prompt, default: later)

Install (manual)

Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from Releases into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/copy-guard/, then enable the plugin.
