Documentation

The documentation of the plugin can be found here: https://lostpaul.github.io/obsidian-folder-notes/Folder%20overview/

Folder notes plugin relation

It can't be used when the folder notes plugin is also enabled. If you already have the folder notes plugin installed you don't need to also install the folder overview plugin.

This plugin offers the same functionality as the folder overview feature in the Folder Notes plugin. However, it is not intended to replace that feature. Instead, it serves as a standalone alternative for users who only need the folder overview functionality without the additional features of the Folder Notes plugin.
