I have been using Obsidian on and off for the last couple of months / years and never stuck with it. I now want to try it, but I need to fix some filenames. I have a Folder called “Meetings”, and I want all files in there to be named according to a certain pattern YYYY-MM-DD - Name and then filed under yearly Folders YYYY/.
I have tried to setup Templater to help me with this, but I have no idea if this is the right tool for my problem. What I would like is to have a script that does this automatically (and can also do this again later on). Does something like this exist?
Have it written in Python by a bot.
Your YYYY-MM-DD filename should be based on a property in the frontmatter (then the script needs to read file content) or otherwise it is just the system created time that would be used. The same script can file away the newly renamed files into the required folders.
Start with a small batch in a test vault to see the script you got works.
