Interference between folder names and Obsidian Bases in folder notes plugin #297

Describe the bug

Upon using the Obsidian Folder Notes plugin with the newly introduced Bases core plugin, I encountered an issue where there is interference between folder names, Markdown files, and the Bases database.

  • When creating a base within a folder with the same name as the folder, and also having a Markdown file with the same name as the folder, issues arise when modifying the base's name.
  • If I modify the name of the base, it updates the folder and the Markdown file as well. This happens even though the base itself should be separated from these other entities.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a folder named FolderX.
  2. Create a base within FolderX named FolderX.
  3. Add a Markdown file also named FolderX.
  4. Modify the name of the base.
  5. Observe that the folder and MD file names are also updated, which causes unintended behavior.

Expected behavior

The base should function independently without causing updates to the folder name or the Markdown file. At least, the bases should be isolated in behavior, meaning their names shouldn't trigger changes to the folder or the MD file names unless specifically desired.

Obsidian version

  • Installer version: v1.10.6

Plugin information

  • Version: v1.8.17

Additional context

It appears that the integration between Bases and the Folder Notes plugin does not consider base names to be isolated from folder and file names, which leads to unwanted changes in folder and file names when editing the base.
