• various improvements/fixes to the inconsistent file name commands. Resolves issues #640, #642, #643 raised by @tastapod.

New

• the new note command has been revived (alias nn). It creates a new (regular, not calendar) note with a title you give, and in a folder you can select. If the "Default Text to add to frontmatter" setting isn't blank, then the note will be created using that frontmatter.

Note: this version was promoted to be a Core Plugin from NotePlan 3.16.1.

Important Changes

• when move note shows the list of folders, the special Templates and Archive folders are moved to the end of the list. (Plus any other special ones that start with '@').
• the new note from clipboard and new note from selection commands have moved from Filer plugin to NoteHelpers.

Added

• new delete note command, that makes easier what the current NotePlan UI makes difficult.

Fixed

• fixed rename note filename when note has frontmatter (thanks for the report, @ariccb)

[0.19.2] - 2024-04-27

• add trigger to note command is now more resilient to unusual frontmatter, and shouldn't duplicate an existing trigger when run from template

[0.19.1] - 2024-02-23

• moved the "open note in ..." commands to the new "Window Tools" plugin
• updated the display of the "index folders" command to use heading levels H2 to H4 depending on how deep the sub-folder is. The placeholder in the title {{folder}} now just uses the last part of the folder name, or new placeholder {{full_folder_path}} which will use the folder's full path. (Requested by @dutchnesss).
• removed 'Show month/quarter/year' commands as they are now in the main NP menus.
• fix to '/rename inconsistent filename' command (reported by @Anton-Sklyar)
• fix to '/make index' command ignoring parameter 'displayOrder' if given.

• new command Show This Quarter (alias /stq)
• new command Show This Year (alias /sty) (requested by @danieldanilov)
• new command update all indexes that updates all the existing folder index notes
• added more decoration to most-used calendar dates, when showing them in lists of notes (e.g. in "jump to note's heading" and "open note new window").

[0.17.3] - 2023-07-01

• added new setting 'Title to use for index notes' for "/index folders" command (requested by @dwertheimer)
• layout improvements and further bug fix in "/index folders" (spotted by @dwertheimer)

[0.17.2] - 2023-06-30

Fixed

[0.17.0] - 2023-06-12

• now move note and index folders commands offer option to create a new folder when selecting a folder (suggested by @dwertheimer)

[0.16.0] - 2023-03-07

Added

• new add trigger to note command that makes it easy to add a trigger to a particular note. It lists the functions from all plugins that it can work out are written for triggers, but also allows any function to be picked.
• index folders command now:
  • has an option to sort output by title (alphabetical), last update date, or date the note was created (though note that I think that the underlying created date data is very unreliable).
  • has an option to add one of several date display settings on the end of every note that's listed
  • has a Refresh button at the top of each results set
  • can be run from x-callback-url calls (see README).

Fixed

• convert to frontmatter command wasn't always working for calendar notes

[0.15.0] - 2022-07-30

Added

• new command rename note filename renames the currently open note. Note: this changes the underlying filename not the visible title. (It only works with NotePlan v3.6.1 and later.)
• new command enable heading links converts local links to headings (they start with the # character) to x-callback-url links that use the Noteplan URL-scheme to run the jumpToHeading function mentioned below. So while Noteplan doesn't support the standard way of linking to headings within notes, this plugin command now enables that feature if you're willing to change the destination of your links. (by @nmn)

Updated

• The jump to heading command (which is used for jumping to headings within the same note) can now be used via x-callback-urls by passing the text of the heading in as an arg0.
