🐛 Bug Fix Release v3.1.1
🔧 Fixed: Windows "Ghost File" Issue
This release resolves the persistent ghost file problem that Windows users were experiencing when generating MP3 files.
🚀 What's Fixed
- 🪟 Windows Ghost Files: MP3 files now appear correctly in both Obsidian and Windows File Manager
- 🛡️ Improved File Safety: Enhanced file name sanitization removes forbidden characters (
\ / : * ? " < > |) across all platforms - 🌐 Cross-Platform Compatibility: Added
normalizePath()for reliable path handling on all operating systems
🔍 Technical Details
The issue was caused by using low-level file system operations that bypassed Obsidian's internal cache system. We've switched to using Obsidian's proper vault API (app.vault.createBinary()) which maintains file system consistency and prevents cache synchronization issues.
👥 Who This Helps
- Windows users who experienced files showing in Obsidian but not in File Manager
- All users who had issues with special characters in file names
- Cross-platform users who experienced path-related inconsistencies
