Attachment file does not show up in the file explorer

Steps to reproduce

create files with extensions not listed in the Accept file formats, such as “abc.123”, “test.dwg”
drag these files into a note.
as you can see in screenshot below, these files are added to the vault and can be shown in the local graph.

Expected result

these files show up in the file explorer pane as well, perhaps with the file extension for the best.

Actual result

these files are not listed in the file explorer pane at all.

Environment

Operating system: MacOS

Obsidian version: 0.11.6

This should help:

How do I create links to unsupported file types (word files, PowerPoint presentations, etc.) to open in default app or finder/explorer

Obsidian now includes a preference in the Files settings to recognize all file extensions. If you enable this and you place the files in your vault, you can link to them the same way you do any other links in Obsidian.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. It saved people a lot of time.

Actually, the post you cited solved my problem.

As I turned on the switch in Files settings to recognize all file extensions, it turns out that the attachments are shown up in the file explorer pane correctly.

Thanks again for the information.

I think the moderator can close this bug report.
