Daily note core plugin matches a file with the correct date BUT from the wrong folder

Steps to reproduce

Enable the Daily note core plugin.

And set up the following folder/file structure:

Screenshot from 2021-01-07 15-54-08

Set the “New file location” in the Daily note settings to “Tracker/Daily”.

Expected result

To create a new daily note with the current date (2021-01-07) in the specified folder “Tracker/Daily”.

Actual result

Opens the file with today’s date (2021-01-07) from the “Tracker/AT” folder.

Environment

  • Operating system: Ubuntu 20.04
  • Obsidian version: 0.10.6

Additional information

The “Tracker/Daily” folder was empty when I tried.

I understand this. The reality is that the when you open a new file, Obsidian looks everywhere. Maybe we should chage it for the daily note shortcut.

Gotcha @WhiteNoise . I moved the file around, and indeed it matches everywhere.

Maybe we should chage it for the daily note shortcut.

That would be nice.

In my case, I keep a log of the Autogenic training (AT) sessions, but I would like to start keeping a more general daily log of things.

Mixing the two together does not make sense for me, as I would like to share my AT logs with others or just feed them into some data analysis system.

will be fixed in 0.10.7
