Downloaded podcast episodes not visible as local files #176
Description
Steps to reproduce
- On a Windows 11 PC
- On a fresh new vault with no other community plugin besides PodNotes installed
- Created a folder podcasts within the vault
- Set the Episode download path setting to: podcasts/{{podcast}} {{date}}
- Searched and added a podcast feed.
- Downloaded one episode from the latest episode list (download confirmed via file explorer and PodNotes showing the remove file option in the episode list)
- Moving to the Podcast grid and selecting Local files
- Seeing an empty list with the label: no episodes found (refresh button doesn't fix it)
Why it matters
I have a limited mobile data allowance. So, I download several episodes on WiFi and listen to them over the entire week. But if I cannot see the list of downloaded episodes, I have no way to differentiate which ones I can play without using up my mobile data allowance.

Re-checked on current master (07b2812, PodNotes 2.20.2) in Obsidian 1.13.7 on desktop Linux, in an isolated test vault.
Steps: set the download path to the one from this issue (podcasts/{{podcast}} {{date}}), downloaded an episode, and opened the Local Files card in the podcast grid.
Result: fixed. The downloaded episode is listed under Local Files, along with episodes downloaded with the default path.
