Event N seconds after file modified

[channingwalton]

I would like to run a script when a file is modified, but doing so on every keystroke is a bit heavy handed.

So, how about triggering the event some time after the file is modified, which would reduce the amount of unnecessary work being done?

Hi and thank you for your suggestion! 🙂

A nice coincidence, there has actually been a bit offtopic discussion today in another event related thread about implementing some kind of threshold: #284 (reply in thread) .

Also, what comes to file editing, Obsidian uses some delay between modifying a note (e.g. key presses) and saving the file. I think it's around two seconds. So that should give already some threshold, but of course I understand if you want to increase the threshold even more.

Just to note here, too. This feature was released in 0.22.0 earlier this year, and it's called event debouncing.
