Bugfixes, and the documentation in every language the plugin speaks.
Fixed
- The path bar stopped working in two quiet ways. In rename mode a note conflicted with itself — browsing back to its own folder made its own name vanish from the list and show up greyed out, as though it blocked its own rename. And the first folder reveal after every Obsidian start expanded nothing: the retry gave up instead of waiting for a tree that had not warmed up yet, then worked for the rest of the session.
- Choosing a folder from the dropdown could end rename mode instead of descending into it. Rebuilding the row parks focus on
<body>for a few ticks, and the guard that ends the mode read that as you clicking away. Focus is no longer consulted at all while a browsing or typing session is open; leaving for real is a click, which was always handled separately. - External edits could be silently overwritten. The write path stamped its whole buffer over the file, and it fires from a debounce, so it raced anything else writing the same note — Sync, a second pane — and the loser disappeared without a trace. Writes are now atomic.
- The focus-outline reset leaked into other views. It matched every header title container in the app, including ones this plugin never touched. It is now scoped to headers Lure actually patched.
- The create-file dialog's heading is now the dialog's title rather than a heading drawn inside it.
Documentation
- The README and the usage guide are now available in all 44 languages the plugin ships. Obsidian's own labels are quoted from the strings in the running app, so what you read matches what is on your screen; Greek and Sanskrit have no Obsidian translation at all, so those two render core labels in English and say so.
- The usage guide named Obsidian's unsupported-extension setting Detect all file extensions. That is a real string, but a stale one — the current English is Show all file types, and readers were being sent to look for something no longer there.

What it does
- Click a folder for a dropdown of its parent's contents — swap one folder for a sibling and leave the rest of the path alone.
- Click the delimiter after a folder to reveal and expand it in the File Explorer, or open its folder note if Folder notes is handling it.
- Click the filename or empty space to type a path directly, with autocomplete.
/descends, Backspace steps out, Enter commits. - Pencil Folder button switches the same interactions to move/rename, validated the way Obsidian validates.
- Ctrl opens in a new tab — or, in move/rename mode, copies the note there instead.
- F2 alternates between the inline title and the path bar.
- 45 locales, every language Obsidian's interface ships.
Outside the vault
Off by default. Turning on Access external files lets the vault name open your other vaults, home, the filesystem root and mounted drives, so you can look at a note in another vault without closing everything you have open.
Nothing out there is written until you press a button that says so, and there are two, each covering only its own surface: the viewer's edit button for one file in one tab, and the header's padlock for creating, renaming and moving. Neither unlock is persisted. Nothing is ever overwritten — an existing target is refused using the filesystem's own exclusive-create rather than a check that could lose a race — and a note can never be moved out of your vault, because links to it would break silently; Ctrl copies it out instead.
Obsidian's editor is bound to files inside the vault, so an external file cannot be opened as a real note with links and backlinks — no plugin can do that. Lure shows it in its own viewer instead.
Compatibility
Verified against the community plugins that share the note header or answer the folder click, in both load orders and with each on and off: Folder notes, Folder Note, create folder notes with dropdown, Quick Explorer, Front Matter Title, Nav Link Header, Running Head, Crumbs, Breadcrumbs. Details in docs/compatibility.md.
Of the folder-note plugins, only Folder notes claims the header path; with the others the delimiter reveals the folder as usual.
Notes
All 45 translations are machine-generated and unreviewed by native speakers — corrections are the most welcome kind of PR. See the README's AI disclosure for how this was built.
