What happened?

If you try to create new files with the DBFolder plugin via the add row function and enter filenames with special charcters (period, number sign), the specified file will be created, but it doesn't appear the database cna properly handle the link it creates.

Ex. Add row, file name:

  • Test File #01.md

DBFolder Initially creates:

  • Test File #01.md

Click the link in the database:

  • new file is created: Test File.md
  • new database entry for "Test File" is created
  • clicking on "Test File #01" database entry again then creates: Test File 1.md
  • new database entry for "Test File 1" is created
  • clicking on "Test File #01" database entry again then creates: Test File 2.md
  • new database entry for "Test File 2" is created
  • etc.

(not sure why github added the change name nonsense, ignore it)

Similar thing happens if you use a period in place of the number sign.
