Empty vault + - Root listing with no files + - Deeply nested folders + - Files with special characters in names + - Very large result sets (10k+ files) + +## Known Limitations + +1. **Glob Pattern Complexity** + - No support for negation patterns (`!pattern`) + - No support for extended glob (`@(pattern)`, `+(pattern)`) + - Character classes don't support ranges (`[a-z]`) + +2. **Pagination** + - Cursor becomes invalid if the referenced file is deleted + - No way to jump to arbitrary page (must iterate sequentially) + - Total count includes all items (not just current filter) + +3. **Frontmatter Extraction** + - Depends on Obsidian's metadata cache being up-to-date + - May miss frontmatter if cache hasn't been built yet + - No control over which custom fields to include/exclude + +4. **Performance** + - Large recursive listings can be slow (10k+ files) + - No caching of results between requests + - Glob matching is not optimized for very complex patterns + +## Future Enhancements + +Potential improvements for future versions: + +1. **Advanced Glob Support** + - Negation patterns (`!*.md`) + - Extended glob syntax + -
