    let folder_list = [];
    //  selected files from  plugin.settings.ScanFolder 
    for (let i of data.scan_folder) {
      folder_list.push(this.app.vault.fileMap[i]);
    }

    for (let folder of folder_list) {
      let filtered_list = folder.children.filter((element) =>
        element.hasOwnProperty("children")
      );
      folder_list.push(...filtered_list);
    }

    let scanFiles = [];
    for (let flie of folder_list) {
      let filtered_list = flie.children.filter(
        (element) =>
          element.hasOwnProperty("extension") && element.extension === "md"
      );
      scanFiles.push(...filtered_list);
