Feature Request: add a setting for tags cache TTL

[curldivergence]

Feature Requested

Hi, first of all, thanks a lot for this awesome plugin, I'm loving it! One small suggestion for improvement though: maybe the seconds: 600 parameter in scripts/tag-search.js deserves its own setting? For me personally, it was not immediately obvious why the newly added tags didn't appear in the search results even though they had been written to tags.json, and to make this delay customizable, currently it's necessary to edit the workflow's script (for comparison, Metadata Extractor does expose the update period in settings). Thanks!

Checklist

• [X] The feature would be useful to more users than just me.
• [X] I have checked the feature overview and the feature doesn't already exist.
• [X] Feature Requests regarding daily notes will not be implemented, since there are other Alfred workflows that do focus on daily notes already.
• [X] If it is an entirely new feature: The requested feature makes more sense to be implemented in Alfred than in a plugin. Please also explain why.

thank you for the kind words!

Yeah, I also contemplated doing so, but problem being the workflow already has quite a lot of settings, and having an option for cache refreshing, on top of the metadata refreshing from metadata extractor, likely creates more confusion than being helpful.

Since the metadata extractor works every 30 minutes (without manual refreshing), I set 5 minutes for the Alfred cache, which should be enough for the vast majority of users.

If it helps, you can manually refresh the Alfred cache via:

-- applescript
tell application id "com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred" to reload workflow "de.chris-grieser.shimmering-obsidian"
