Update the list of Recent Files Tab after renaming a file

[icr1001]

Issue: It does not update the file name at the Recent Files tab after renaming a file.

Other suggestions:

• Have the option to set the number of recent files in the Recent Files Tab.
• Have the option to clean the Recent Files‘ list.

Thanks for this plugin, it is amazing!

Yeah, I have not found a good way to detect what a file is renamed to. Hopefully I can find that, but in the mean time you can work around this by just clicking on the invalid file in the list. It should disappear 🙂

Thanks for the other suggestions. I created new issues for them (#2 & #3)

I posted this to the Forum: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/api-callback-for-file-rename-event/11395

A suggestion from the forum:

I don’t know how officially supported this is, but app.vault.on("rename", function(file, oldname) {}) will notify you of renames done from Obsidian’s file manager or pane title fields. It does not notify about renames initiated from outside of Obsidian.

You probably also want app.vault.on("delete", function(file){}) to remove deleted files. ;-)

Also a great suggestion. I will put that in a separate issue.
