GithubAuto Index Plugin for Obsidian
This plugin automatically generates and maintains index notes for specified folders, listing files and subfolders recursively. It essentially brings the functionality of an "auto-index" script directly into Obsidian as a native plugin.
🎯 Features
- Recursive Indexing: Automatically scans watched folders and builds a tree structure of content.
- Auto-Updates: Updates index files automatically at a configured interval (default: 3 seconds).
- Smart Formatting:
- Lists subfolders with customizable emojis and bold text.
⚙️ Settings
You can configure the following in Settings > Auto Index:
- Watched Folders: A list of folder paths to monitor (one per line).
- Example:
Inbox Archive Projects Resources/Books
- Example:
- Update Interval: How often (in seconds) the plugin checks for changes.
- Folder Emoji: Emoji or text to display before folder names (e.g.,
📂). - Bold Folder Names: Toggle to display folder names in bold.
