The Front Matter Title plugin enhances the display of file names in Obsidian by using values from the YAML front matter of Markdown files. This is particularly useful for users who employ naming conventions like timestamps for file names, such as in the Zettelkasten method. Instead of showing the original file name, the plugin displays a user-defined title extracted from a specified key in the YAML metadata. The key can be set using simple values or dot-notation for nested keys. This customization extends to the file explorer and graph view, helping users organize and navigate their notes more intuitively.

The Auto Front Matter plugin automates the generation and management of Front Matter for Obsidian Markdown files. It allows users to customize the content of the Front Matter based on specific configurations. Key features include the ability to append or modify fields in the Front Matter and integrate with Commander’s macro commands and shortcut keys for enhanced workflow. The plugin also supports custom key types and offers flexibility for handling YAML formatting. The plugin’s new version has removed the auto-modification feature during saving and the sorting function, recommending the use of Linter’s YAML sorting instead. This plugin is ideal for users looking to streamline their note-taking and metadata management in Obsidian.

The Testing Vault plugin is a unique tool designed to aid developers in testing their Obsidian plugins by generating random notes and data. With three commands at your disposal, you can create single or groups of randomized notes, each filled with nonsensical text generated using Lorem Ipsum. This allows you to test your plugin's rendering system, statistics, or any other feature that relies on note content without worrying about the actual meaning of the text. Additionally, the "Destroy everything in this vault" command is available for those who want to simulate a complete wipe of their vault, making it an excellent tool for testing edge cases and error handling.

The Add an ID to the front matter plugin is a simple yet powerful tool that allows you to easily add unique IDs to your Obsidian notes' front matter. This feature is particularly useful for organizing and linking related notes, making it easier to navigate your knowledge graph. With this plugin, you can quickly generate IDs for each note, allowing you to reference them in other notes or use them as anchors for cross-referencing. Whether you're building a complex knowledge base or just want to keep your notes more organized, this plugin is a great addition to your Obsidian toolkit.
