Feature Request: show TODOs only from specific file/files

[d4rky-pl]

It would be amazing if there was an option to limit the TODOs only to specific file or files. I used to use daily notes for this but it didn't work well with Obsidian staying constantly in the background so now I just have one TODO file where I keep everything.

Alternatively, to make this feature broader in scope, it would be nice to be able to provide a regex/expression for which files should be taken into an account when displaying the TODOs. This way we could filter out notes using other plugins (Daily planner) or other local nested tasklists (this plugin doesn't support nesting so my TODOs are a list of disjointed random topics right now)

Especially the regex idea. I have a bunch of templates that have checklists in them, so it would be great to be able to exclude those files.

+1! I have a list of movies that I want to watch, but they don't necessarily belong in my todo list.

Some kind of simplified regex and/or allow me to add a comment, like <!-- /disable-todo --> would be awesome.

I like this Idea too. It propably also would help with performance.

I'm thinking of two optional regex filters in the settings to exclude and include files that match.
I'll try to implement this and report back!

This would be great feature to use when setting up templates. I currently create default to-do's in a template and have to mark them as complete to exclude from the Todo pane. I tend to miss unchecking them in the note where the template is applied to.
