I have very little to complain about #Obsidian. It’s a truly remarkable app!

One thing I wish it could do is to automatically rename links when their name is changed *outside of the app*. I realise this probably isn’t possible, but it’d be nice if it was.

I use the auto link renamer plugin, and it works well, but sometimes I like to bulk rename files in the Finder, and this breaks all the links associated with them.

Unless there’s a way to bulk rename files *inside* Obsidian?

@ellane @obsidianmd I don’t see an auto link renamer plugin in the repo 🤔

@EpiphanicSynchronicity @ellane @obsidianmd Sounds like a useful plugin though!

@ellane @obsidianmd my obligatory “I change the links on the command line with perl” post
find . -name \*.md -print0 |xargs -0 perl -p -i -e 's/\[\[old name\]\]/[[new name|alias]]/‘
you can leave out “|alias" if not needed.
