Obsidian Empty File Name Plugin

This very simple Obsidian plugin has one function - display the names of empty folders and files with a more muted / inactive style in:

  • Open page tab headers
  • File explorer folders
  • File explorer files

Releasing new releases

  • Update your manifest.json with your new version number, such as 1.0.1, and the minimum Obsidian version required for your latest release.
  • Update your versions.json file with "new-plugin-version": "minimum-obsidian-version" so older versions of Obsidian can download an older version of your plugin that's compatible.
  • Create new GitHub release using your new version number as the "Tag version". Use the exact version number, don't include a prefix v. See here for an example: https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-sample-plugin/releases
  • Upload the files manifest.json, main.js, styles.css as binary attachments. Note: The manifest.json file must be in two places, first the root path of your repository and also in the release.
  • Publish the release.

You can simplify the version bump process by running npm version patch, npm version minor or npm version major after updating minAppVersion manually in manifest.json. The command will bump version in manifest.json and package.json, and add the entry for the new version to versions.json

Manually installing the plugin

  • Copy over main.js, styles.css, manifest.json to your vault VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/empty-file-name/.
