Improve file structure created by Diary plugin, meke the folder path support time format

The Diary plugin, for now, it opens today’s diary, the diary name is the date like 2021-06-12. If a person takes a note every day, after some time, say 2 year, the diary files will be a long list. Not convinient to organize. Like this:

2020-11-12
2020-11-13
2020-11-14
2020-11-15
2020-11-16
2020-11-17
2020-11-18
2020-11-19
2020-11-20
2020-11-21
2020-11-22
...(could be hundreds docs like those above)

So I suggetst, every time creating a diary, create a file in a chronologically date based folder, the top folder is year, the subfolder is month, diarys are created in the month folder, the final vault structure would be like this:

▶ 2020
▶ 2021
	▶ 01
	▶ 02
	▶ 03
	▶ 04
	▶ 05
	▼ 06
		01
		02
		03
		04
		05
		06
		07
		08
		09
		10
		11
		12
		
	

Every diary is classified to it’s month and year folder, each folder just need to contain 31 files max. Much convinient to organize, review, explore…

However, to achieve this, the folder path of the diary must accept time format variables like YYYY and MM, so that the folder path could automatically change according to the date.

+10086! I don’t think this a complicated feature. Is it ignored by powerful developers? hmmmm… How can we attract their notice?

This?

Yes it is! It’s a smart solution that took me a while to realize, that put the path not in Folder but in file name! Really great!
