Add Bases as a default file type once it goes GA

[jwhitley]

Obsidian Bases, currently on the Insider releases, can make great Folder Notes. For example, I just kicked out some folders of notes for common threaded inserts and fasteners I use – all of the relevant stats (e.g. for use in CAD) get pulled up right into the Folder Note Base.

This is just a suggestion that adding "base" as a default file type for this plugin would be great, once Bases become generally available.

This is now publically available, I would love to have this feature as well.

FYI, it appears that .base was added as a new default file extension in recent release 1.8.17.

I just updated and saw that now, Bases type is not enabled by default though, and you have to add in the dropdown as a supported file type.

Ugh. I suspect this is by design. In a new sandbox vault, the plugin's options now pre-populate markdown, base, and canvas into the Supported file types field. But the code doesn't appear to attempt any kind of data migration on upgrade to add base to existing plugin installs. In some sense, there aren't any baked defaults, just pre-populated file types in the options. The UI does make it easy to pick the common supported file types from the pulldown....
