Folder Children

AaronAaron92 downloads

Sync each folder's direct children into a Children callout on its folder note. Requires Folder Notes.

Add to Obsidian
  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates1

Sync each folder's direct children into a collapsible Children section on its folder note.

Requires Folder Notes. Install Folder Notes first.

Folder Children demo

Install

Open in Obsidian or search for Folder Children under Settings → Community plugins → Browse.

Usage

  1. Run Sync folder children lists (command palette or folder-tree ribbon icon).
  2. Review the preview.
  3. Click Approve.

For each folder with a folder note, direct child notes and subfolders are listed alphabetically in a callout:

> [!abstract]- Children
> - [[Note]]
> - [[Subfolder/Subfolder]]

Subfolders link to their folder note when one exists. Folders without a folder note are skipped. Hidden files, .obsidian, and the folder note itself are never listed.

Folder notes

Parent notes are resolved the same way as Folder Notes:

  1. Folder/Folder.md — inside the folder
  2. Folder.md — sibling of the folder

Development

npm install
npm run build
