Create a folder that contains the project note

Opened this issue · 5 comments

What would you like to be added?

Create a folder that contains the project note by default, meaning that when the project is created, it also creates a note inside a folder with the same name as the note.

Why is this needed?

Folders are a way to better organize files within a project, making their use very similar to Notion.
Because creating a folder for each project becomes a tedious task.

For me, projects created the path of it did not exist. But maybe something else created it

Is this a bug for you or a convenience request so you can move existing files into the project, @HoodyEz ?

Creating a subfolder for each project would be convenient for better organizing the files you might link to the project note.

Ah, per-project folder. I see value in that. Renaming the project might become cumbersome to handle, though. Native features for moving/renaming folders could throw off the plugin.

The good thing about all this is that the folder doesn't necessarily need to have the same name as the project note, since what is displayed in the plugin would only be the note. The folder would just be a container to keep the files for each project separate, regardless of the name. For me, it would be a very helpful option, at least if it were something optional. For example, as a university student, creating a note with a subfolder for each university assignment would be less burdensome.

@HoodyEz What happens if you add a path in the default file name? For example, instead of Untitled define it as a-folder/Untitled? If that works, then support at your level is a matter of programmatically setting the prefix.
