Bases: editable Folder property

Feature archive
1

Use case or problem

I often use subfolders to organize notes. E.g.

  • Projects/
    • _00_Ideas/
    • _10_Scheduled/
    • _20_Current/
    • `_80_Some day/
    • _90_Closed/

I know how to use a function to view the name of the current subfolder in a Base, but I’d like the ability to move a file I see in a Base.

Proposed solution

When file.folder is used as a property, display it as an editable element. Preferably make it possible to strip prefix from the folder path. Eventually I’d expect to be able to move many notes at the same time.

properties:
  file.folder:
    displayName: Status
    stripPrefix: "Projects/"

Current workaround (optional)

Currently I have to open each file individually and then move it.

we can’t make file attributes editable.

In 1.9.8, we will add “move file to” in the context menu of the file name link (right now only rename is possible).
