Folder properties

Use case or problem

Sometimes a folder can have a role or function that I’d like to note in the folder somehow. But an “_about” file is an awkward solution. E.g. I have a folder for which I’ve written a shell script that processes everything in that folder. I’d like to note, in the folder properties, that it has that role.

Proposed solution

A folder can have editable properties. So you could include “note: [description of folder’s function]” as a property. And so on for other properties.

You can have a look at the folder notes plugin (GitHub - LostPaul/obsidian-folder-notes: Create notes within folders that can be accessed without collapsing the folder, similar to the functionality offered in Notion.).
