Feature: File Watcher possible?

Bike Outliner
1

Hey Jesse,

thank you for this great software! Just bought it for my studies and my volunterring and I am really happy about what Bike 2 is capable of.

Bike 2 also works well as part of a bigger Obsidian-Vault. Obsidian can easily show Bike-.md outlines and also is able to use its file watcher to show changes immeadeatly. This does not work the other way around though. Is it possible to implement this or does it contradict Bike 2s core design?

This would enable workflows where I have no need of switching between Obsidian and Bike. It also would prevent me from making changes in Obsidian, which I then have to override with Bike. There is a feature to decide which changes to save, but having this live/watched would reduce the hassle and risk.

All the best, bostonb

I think this is working in: Bike 2.0 (Preview 272)

It is! I will try and test some edge cases. Is there a limitation to be exspected?

No, I think it should be fully working. I was/am a little hesitant to add since this feature may have been a source of crashes in previous versions of my apps. But that was never totally certain, and other apps manage it. So Iā€™m trying again!
