Feature request: Option to exclude indexing of non-markdown files

[derrickwheals]

Firstly - great plugin - thanks for building it.

It would very useful to be able to customise the recursive indexing to choose between

1. Index all files in sub-folders (current behaviour)
2. Index only markdown files
3. Exclude specific file types (esp. images, as having it list all attached images for notes is not useful)

I hope you'll consider this as an enhancement!

Thanks
Derrick

Excluding specific files is already possible :) You can use the Excluded Folder option (I should probably rename it) But basically it can filter out all kinds of files. If you want to remove images you can simply do some regex magic like .*\.(?:png|jpg) to exclude all png and jpg files

@turulix Rather than Exclude Folders, I'd like a way to Exclude files that match a Property (Frontmatter) value. For example, I have a Status Property that sets a file as "Inactive," so I don't have to move it to a separate excluded folder. Can I do this with the current functionality (with "regex magic," perhaps)?

I use the following regex to exclude all files that do not end in .md (all non-markdown files):

.*\.(?!(?:md$)).*
