[BUG] Excluded Folders Bug #60

Closed overkill864 closed 1 year ago

overkill864 commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug

List Modified does not respect excluded folders or Ignored Name Text.

Expected behaviour

When I put any variation of a folder name whether /Daily or Daily or Daily/ or /Daily it still pulls files from Daily and puts them in the list. What should happen instead? It should not pull files.

Reproducing

Unless I am not structuring format correctly, but I even tested using the exact system in the wiki. Not having any luck excluding folders, ignored tags work though but I don't use tags.

This is odd. Do you happen to know if this was reproducible on a previous version of the plugin?

I've been meaning to update this plugin for awhile, but I haven't had the time to sit down because I'm working on so many other things

Edit: Just tried on v2.0.1 (and 2.0.2, latest) and folder exclusions seem to be working for me. I simply put "Daily" (no quotation marks) in the settings, and files within it are properly excluded. Could you please take a screenshot of your vault folder structure (e.g. below) and your exclusion settings? image

Edit Edit: Text exclusions are working for me as well...

e.g. if my text exclusions say "aaa", image

make sure that your file is properly updated after the interval specified in your config. to make sure the update cycle has completed, create a new file and wait for it to be appended to your daily note. also try restarting the app.

Coming back to it now all the functionality is working. Maybe I'm having trouble with mobile only. I will look into this more. Thanks for your help!

So what might be happening is that I have Obsidian sync running. When I make changes to my plugin, even though I have all settings being synced, it doesn't seem to actually sync in real time. So what seems to be happening is when I alter the plugin settings, it works, then all of the sudden a minute or so later it shows up again, then a minute later it disappears. I suspect another version of obsidian on my computer at work is overwriting what my version here is writing. Then it goes back and forth constantly.

Hmm,that is possible, although I'm not sure as I have no experience with Sync. If you haven't found an answer yet, I would recommend asking in the Obsidian Discord or on their forums. Closing this for now, but if there is anything else I could do to assist you, feel free to re-open.
