The New Note Fixer plugin ensures consistent behavior when creating new notes from links in Obsidian. By default, Obsidian follows a specific setting for placing new notes, but this behavior changes when links include folder paths or relative paths. This can lead to unexpected note placements or even errors when trying to access notes outside the vault. The plugin resolves these inconsistencies by enforcing the configured default location for new notes, preventing errors and ensuring a predictable workflow when linking to non-existent files.
