Hi! First of all, sorry for my absence! If you still have this problem, could it be that the file is not found because the shell command is missing the sed -e 's/ä/ae/g' -e 's/ö/oe/g' -e 's/ü/ue/g' -e 's/Ä/Ae/g' -e 's/Ö/Oe/g' -e 's/Ü/Ue/g' -e 's/ß/ss/g' {{event_file_name}} Does this help? 🙂 |

Please describe the problem
Hi again, still absolutely love your plugin.
I use it to convert Obsidian files to LaTeX files to PDf files which works perfectly. I'm not actually having a bug with the plugin, but I'm struggling to create a new shell script. I've now started working with some non-English sources, that in this case include German letters ä, ö, ü, and ß. Obsidian doesn't have a problem with it, but either LaTeX or Latexmk which I use to convert the .md to .tex to .pdf does.
I could probably troubleshoot that, but at this point I'd rather just create a little script to replace the Umlauts and ß with ae, oe, etc.
I think {{event_title}} is what I'm looking for, in the events of
File created, File renamed, Folder created, Folder renamed
, which I've activated.However, I don't understand how to use this.
I'm playing around with this command now:
But that's interrupting the file creation and before I can give the file a name I get this error, and always just calls the file "Untitled"
Then when I rename the file afterwards I get this error:

Any advice appreciated!!
Thanks :)
