I just wanted to say that I've had no conflicts between with your plugin and obsidian-icon-folders.

I've had problems with obsidian-icon-folders losing my icon assignments unexpectedly. It's happened a few times and I'm expecting it to happen again with some other plugin update. If/when your plugin supports setting icons by sortspec, I will definitely switch over because its such a waste of time re-assigning icons.

Great work on this plugin.
