Plugin keeps updating file #33

Closed XobSod closed 1 year ago

XobSod commented 2 years ago

I have strange bug (i think). I have plugin setup to update 'Update date' in yaml header in format 'DD-MM-YYYY'. And I have file explorer set up to sort files by last modified date.

The issue is, when I update several files, the plugin works correctly (changes the yaml entry) but it keeps updating the file... I see it as files keep changing order in the file explorer as they are periodically saved again and again.

There is a similar plugin, scambier/obsidian-auto-updated-date, which is "archived" on GitHub, with this message:

⚠️ DO NOT USE - BUGGY
✅ Use Obsidian Linter instead.

This plugin will trigger a self-feeding update loop if the same file is open on 2 different editors.

Sounds like it might be the same issue you're experiencing, guessing both plugins have the same bug.

With the 2.0.0 release, this should be less of an issue. If that's still the case, we can add a delay before updating the file again to prevent loops
