Have a look at the screenshot. It shows a long form project of mine. I would like to delete the first scene abstract from the long form project itself, but not from the folder. So I don't, I want the note to remain, but I want it removed from this long form project without being moved in the file system. Can you look at the long long form plugin on the Obsidian CI and see what options you have to do this for me? If there's no obvious way, could you think of another way of doing this without breaking things?
### Assistant
Let me look at the Index.md and the Obsidian CLI docs to understand what's possible.
### Assistant
Good news — the solution is straightforward. The Longform plugin manages everything through the YAML frontmatter in Index.md. Looking at your file, there are two relevant arrays:
- `scenes:` — what appears in the Scenes panel
- `ignoredFiles:` — files in the folder that Longform should ignore
So the move is: remove `Abstract` from `scenes` and add it to `ignoredFiles`. The file stays exactly where it is on disk. Let me check if the Longform plugin has any CLI commands first, but if not, editing the frontmatter directly is the standard way this works.
### Assistant
No "remove scene" command in the CLI. But editing the frontmatter is exactly how Longform tracks this — it's the plugin's own data format. I'll move "Abstract" from `scenes` to `ignoredFiles`:
### Assistant
Done. "Abstract" is now in `ignoredFiles` and removed from `scenes`. The file itself hasn't moved — it's still in the project folder, accessible as [[Writing/research/The aesthetics of graphic design 1/the aesthetics of typography/Abstract]], just no longer listed as a scene in the Longform panel. Your scene order is now:
1. Functional Beauty and Typography
2. Typographic Interdependence
3. Fittingness
4. Objections
5. References
The Longform plugin reads this frontmatter directly, so the change should be reflected immediately in the Scenes tab.
