Hi there, I recently started using Metadatamenu. At first, I made a folder in “Misc/fileClasses” together with “Misc/Templates”. Later on, I realized that my internal sorting was a bit messed up because I also used my Misc – folder for random notes as well.

So I created a new Folder, called "(98) Obsidian" and put my Templates, fileClasses and other obsidian-related files in there. Then I updated all my plugins to point at the new folder. Metadatamenu broke. It could not find my fileClass files. Everything else, like manual editing of Metadata via the "Manage Fields" Dialog, worked. Though, all fields were displayed as InputType.

Nothing I tried to fix this worked, even completely removing the Plugin files and re-installing it. Only after I renamed my folder to "Obsidian/fileClasses", then changing the folder location inside the Plugin Settings and restarting Obsidian, did the problem immediately go away.

Just wanted to let you know.
