Obsidian Plugin v0.2.3
New feature: task files can now display their human-readable title instead of the filename.
Inline Title Replacement
Section titled “Inline Title Replacement”When Obsidian’s “Show inline title” setting is enabled, you can optionally have task files display their title frontmatter instead of the filename.
How it works:
- Enable “Use task title as inline title” in the plugin settings
- When viewing a task file, the inline title shows the
titlefrontmatter (e.g., “Buy groceries”) instead of the filename (e.g., “buy-groceries”) - Editing the inline title updates the
titlefrontmatter and setsupdated-atto today’s date - A coloured left border appears on the document indicating the task’s status
This only applies to valid Taskdn task files. For all other files, Obsidian’s normal inline title behaviour is unchanged.
Optional filename sync: Enable “Sync filename with task title” to also rename the file when you edit the inline title. The filename is converted to kebab-case (e.g., “Buy Groceries” → buy-groceries.md), and Obsidian automatically updates any links to the file.
