Feature request: Manage dangling/unlinked files
While I like the minimal approach of this plugin, I think it would be useful to have a mechanism to see unlinked files. Might be that I linked to ./some/cool/project/text.md some months ago but deleted the reference.
I have some Ideas in mind for this feature to be minimal:
- have one
unlinked-articles.mdor.unlinked-articles.mdin therootof the wiki project - have a command which scrapes all
*.mdfiles in the project except forunlinked-articles.md- scrape all files for
[links](./to/some/project/page.md) - compare to actually existing files
- put the result of missing links in a sorted list in
unlinked-articles.mdwith some format like2024-03-23 [links](./to/some/project/page.md)(with the date being the last modification time of the file as a hint)
- scrape all files for
- build a command which unlinks AND deletes the file under cursor (this would be useful independent of this issue
this way one could build the unlinked-articles sometimes and go through and delete what is not needed anymore
True. This would be a really useful tool for all the power users. Thanks for the suggestion! If you would like to take this up, you can assign it to yourself. I'll think of the implementation as you described as well.
I don't have much time on my hands and other oss projects. The need for this grows though, as I now use kiwi.nvim daily and already have this situation.
In case I ever find time, could you point me in the right direction to develop lua plugins for nvim and how to test them?
With all respect and kiwi.nvim is the true inspiration of my neowiki.nvim - come here to share that such action is available in neowiki.nvim through 1 of the 2 days:
- a function to scan and clean broken links from current page: send to quickfix or directly remove
- when a user decide to remove any wiki-page, it find all broken backlinks: send to quickfix or directly remove
Oh this is awesome! Glad to see a new project based on kiwi. Keep up the good work @echaya
