I thought the Zettelkasten prefixer added the timestamp to the filename, but that’s not what is happening on my instance so I’m not sure what that prefixer does.
I would like the ability that when I create a new file, instead of having Untitled as the file name and having to manually go in and find today’s date/time and type that out. (Tedium) I can set a prefix to the file name and that I can customize it according to my own system.
I saw that in the Zettlekasten setting this looks something like YYYYMMDDHHSS but I already have my own Zettlekasten going on and I base it off of Karl Voit’s papers and formatting which is more in line with existing ISO standards. YYYY-MM-DDTHH:SS, but that is modified a bit since most filesystems don’t accept colons in the file name to: YYYY-MM-DDTHH.SS
To break it down into steps:
#. Open Obsiden
#. Click New Note
#. Instead of seeing Untitled For document name I should see 2020.07.15T09.38.00.md as the name
@Princemallow: you can use the daily note plugin, which gives you the option to customize the date format exactly. Thought titled “Daily note”, as long as the file of that title doesn’t exist, it will create one for you.
I found this “issue” too, but there’s a button for “Create new Zettelkasten Note” down the side bar, which uses the date format in the filename. At least this is true for me (latest version v0.8.1).
I would like to also be able to tweak the ID format (checked the plugin, didn’t see anything there), as I have used seconds in my naming when using Zettlr. As an example, one of my note ID’s is 20200529202214. The current format in Obsidian is 202005292022 and doesn’t appear to be configurable anywhere that I could see (please correct me if I am wrong).
