Remove the ID at the end of Obsidian file names ​

When syncing to Obsidian, versions before 24.10.24 appended an identifier to the file name, for example:

三十二个有用的思维模型-H89FAME.md

Three steps remove it:

  • Check the Obsidian template in the WuCai dashboard and make sure it contains the noteid property
  • Update the WuCai Obsidian plugin to 24.10.24
  • Rename the files that were already synced, using the migrate command

1. Check the template ​

Make sure the variable sits in the property area (YAML frontmatter), for example:

(The property name does not matter — the plugin detects it. This example uses "笔记ID".)

2. Update the plugin ​

Update from the Obsidian plugin marketplace, or download it from the WuCai Baidu Netdisk mirror.

3. Migrate existing file names ​

Run the migrate command from WuCai.

It usually finishes quickly; with many files it takes a while.
