Rename the same file in your file manager, from a script, or through a sync client, and Obsidian sees a delete followed by a create — so the links are not updated, and every note that pointed at it is left pointing at nothing. This plugin recognizes those external renames for what they are and treats them as a single rename, so links survive a change made outside the app. [!WARNING] The plugin works only if Obsidian is running during the external renames. The plugin only handles renames for those files/folders that Obsidian tracks. The plugin only handles renames made inside the vault. The plugin doesn't handle the renames made outside of the vault even if the renamed files are referenced within the vault. The plugin doesn't handle the renames in files/folders that start with . (dot). More screenshots Demo vault The documentation is a demo vault. Every feature has a note that explains what it does and why you would want it, with a note ready to rename and backlinks ready to watch. Start reading here — it is plain markdown, so it works on GitHub with nothing installed. A copy of the vault ships with every release. You can access it via any of the following: 1. Running the External Rename Handler: Open demo vault command. 2. Downloading external-rename-handler-demo-vault- .zip ( is the release version) from the Releases. 3. Browsing its source in demo-vault/ in this repository.
