Motivation

This plugin was developed to cover my needs. Originally I've started to use my daily files with _ delimiter. So my files looked like this: 2022_01_01, over the time I realized other platform out of the bos configured to prefer dashes.

Here is many guides on how to rename files, what kind of script we need to run, what version of python or Node.js we need to install and so on.

Why Not to have this functionality build-in into Obsidian?

And rename a bunch of files and update their reference in code base respectively. So now you can rename a bunch of files from the directory and all imports also will be updated in a code-base
