Things I have tried
I have found a way to rename the file once it is created using the templater plugin.
The approach below will rename the file:
<% tp.file.rename("meeting-scrum" + tp.date.now("DD-MMM-YYYY")) %>
What I’m trying to do
I have multiple folders and inside each folder there are several files. Each file is named using the following format
xnnn - file summary
Examples:
T001 - Monday 25OCT01 Garden view
T002 - Tuesday 03NOV22 Balcony construction
The files can be in multiple folders:
folder1
T001 - 28OCT01 Garden view
T002 - 07NOV22 Balcony construction
folder2
T002 - 07NOV22 Balcony construction
folder2.1
T001 - 26OCT01 Garden view
T002 - 05NOV22 Balcony construction
folder3
T003 - 24OCT01 Garden view
T004 - 03NOV22 Balcony construction
folder4
T006 - 22OCT01 Garden view
T007 - 01NOV22 Balcony construction
As you can see, the Prefix includes some that are duplicates (e.g T001 and T002)
What i would like to do is to automatically rename the file but the prefix to always be higher than the last highest value. In the above example, the name for the next note created should be T008 - DDMMMYY - Summary
Is there anyway i can automate this? i.e to check all files in all folders that have a specific tag and calculate the next value in the sequence?
