Folder Homepage

This plugin improves navigation in Obsidian by treating folders like notes. When you click a folder title in the File Explorer, it automatically opens a "homepage" note for that folder.

Features

  • Seamless Navigation: Click a folder title to expand it AND open its homepage in a new tab.
  • Smart Detection: Checks for files in priority order (e.g., Folder/Folder.md, then Folder/README.md).
  • Auto-Create: Option to automatically create a homepage file if one doesn't exist when you click the folder.
  • Non-Destructive: Does not interfere with standard Obsidian collapse/expand behavior.

Usage

  1. Locate the plugin in Community Plugins Search, Install, Configure if desired.
  2. Click any closed folder in the File Explorer.
  3. The folder will expand.
  4. If a matching homepage file exists inside, it will open in the main view.

Settings

  • Homepage Filenames: Define a list of filenames to look for (e.g., README.md, index.md).
  • Match Folder Name: If enabled, looks for a file with the same name as the folder (e.g., Journal/Journal.md).
  • Create if not exists: If enabled, clicking a folder without a homepage will create one automatically using your preferred naming convention.
