Obisidan Directory Summary

Obsidian plugin allowing you to create a summary note for any directory in your vault in just one command.

Usage

If your vault looks like this:

obsidian/
├─ apples/
│  ├─ apple pie recipe.md
│  ├─ macintosh/
│  │  ├─ apple tart recipe.md
├─ bananas/
│  ├─ banana pudding recipe.md

Run the command "Generate directory summary" which will create a {folder}_summary.md summary file that looks like this:

# obsidian

## apples

- [[apple pie recipe]]

### macintosh

- [[apple tart recipe]]

## bananas

- [[banana pudding recipe]]

Features

• File names appear in the summary as backlinks
• Can configure the following settings in the extension:
  • Default naming scheme of the summary file
  • Max directory depth to include in summary file
  • Max amount of files to include in summary file per directory

    • For ex: if a file "random.md" has a property "Title" with value "I love soccer" then when you generate the summary the list item will look like:
      • - [[random]] - I love soccer
