The Unitade plugin for Obsidian provides a versatile solution for managing file extensions within the app. It allows users to open and edit files with custom extensions, something that is not supported by default in Obsidian. The plugin enables rendering files with various extensions as code, similar to editors like VS Code, and offers compatibility modules for older plugin versions. Users can configure the plugin to handle specific file types by entering their extensions in the settings. Unitade is designed for those who want to expand Obsidian's capabilities and streamline the process of working with non-standard file types in their vault.
