[Bug?] content is not refreshed when linked page is opened

[danieltomasz]

I open linked page, then I changed content under the link

The influx footer stays the same, only opening page in new windows or reopening it refreshes it

Again this is Obsidian O.16.2, I cannot check for 0.15.9

This is not a bug per se, but I can see how it feels natural to have influx update without explicitly refreshing the page. How to enable this without causing heavy performance penalty due to greatly increased number of re-renders - due to the way state is managed in obsidian - is something I'll have to look into. Maybe for a future version.

[danieltomasz]

Are there a way to re-render only if watched file with wiki-link changed? (lets say only after 5 sec after last change of state, to not do it too often?)

[jensmtg]

That's would be the idea. The challenge is the data flow between obsidian and codemirror. It's probably fixable, but not so trivial I can do it without some study.

dataview refreshes relatively quickly. Why not create a command so we can manually refresh?

[danieltomasz]

Query control plugin is facing similar problem, sometimes is even worse, it doesn't auto update links view after switching the card, only manual update works

but the way I generally use query control or dataview is standalone queries in a separate file. But with influx the plugin is evident in all files, so the lag in sync is very obvious and disconcerting.

Fixed in latest version.
