Reopen Obsidian plugin loading failed
Describe the bug The version I'm using is the latest (on Windows), and I'm encountering the following issues: If it's not installed, reinstalling and enabling it makes the feature run normally; However, if I close Obsidian and reopen it, the plugin loading prompt in the top right corner shows "Loading failed," and folder notes also appear. Then, in the settings, the plugin is enabled, but after disabling it, I cannot re-enable it (it shows "Enable failed").

Do you also have the folder overview plugin installed? Otherwise could you show what error in the dev console is?

See if this is what you're talking about Folder overview not installed
Can you show the whole plugin list? Maybe I've used the same name for an view that an other plugin also used

Okay, is this all right? The features of your plugin are exactly what I've been dreaming of. After discovering it, I opened Obsidian again after not using it for a long time :D

I disabled all other plugins, and folder notes seems to be back to normal. It looks like it was indeed an issue with other plugins.
Alright that's can you enable them one by one to figure other which it is?

I'm trying, I'll get back to you when I find it, please wait.

https://github.com/SturdyShawn/Create-folder-notes-with-dropdown I think it's this one; when it's enabled, folder notes will have an error.
That's weird because it works for me https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0a243a19-6e79-42d3-a595-b186bb0b8ca9
I only get that error when I've folder overview already enabled and then try to enabled folder note

Yes, after I uninstalled this, the problem of folder notes not being able to be disabled and re-enabled was solved, but restarting Obsidian still gives an error (the function seems normal). I think disabling plugins one by one to exclude them, but I can't reproduce it, and it seems that the order of plugin activation can subtly avoid some problems. I will test it more.
Do you have by any chance the "Manual Sorting" plugin by "Kh4f" installed?
yes i have the manual sorting

Okay good that seems to be the cause someone else also has the same problem see https://github.com/LostPaul/obsidian-folder-notes/issues/267 and figured out that it was the manual sorting plugin that caused it. The plugin reloads the plugin and something is going wrong with that and the plugin tries to create the view twice.
OK, these two plugins are what I like and use frequently. If there is anything you need me to test, please let me know.

You don't need to test anything anymore now, that should be enough information to fix it hopefully. Maybe I can fix it only using folder notes or it has to be fixed by the Manual Sorting dev.
It should be fixed now, try out the beta version to confirm it. See https://github.com/LostPaul/obsidian-folder-notes?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-install-the-beta-version on how to install the beta version.
OK thanks!
