Installation

File Folder Status Sets is a desktop-only plugin — it patches Obsidian's native file explorer directly, which hasn't been verified against Obsidian Mobile yet. isDesktopOnly: true in manifest.json reflects this.

From Obsidian's Community Plugins browser

1. Open Settings → Community plugins → Browse.
2. Search for "File Folder Status Sets".
3. Click Install, then Enable.

Manual install

1. Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the latest release.
2. Create a folder named file-folder-status-icons inside your vault's .obsidian/plugins/ directory.
3. Place the three downloaded files inside it.
4. Reload Obsidian (or use Settings → Community plugins → Reload plugins).
5. Enable File Folder Status Sets under Settings → Community plugins.

BRAT (Beta Reviewers Auto-update Tool)

If you use BRAT to track plugins directly from GitHub:

1. Install BRAT from the Community Plugins browser if you haven't already.
2. Run the BRAT: Add a beta plugin for testing command.
3. Paste danrfletcher/obsidian-file-folder-status-icons.
4. BRAT installs it and will offer updates as new releases ship.

Once it's enabled, head to Your First Status Set to set one up from scratch.
