Template Path Not Working
Template Path Not Working
System information: Obsidian 1.8.9 (Windows) Folder Note 1.7.35
Problem description
Folder Notes > Settings > General > Template path
When I try to fill the field with the desired path it does not hold the path.
I made sure that it is valid a valid path (assuming path begins at vault level).
Tried with a test file (test_template) at vault level with different formats:
test_templatetest_template.md"test_template""test_template.md"
But any convination worked. I also dont know if the magnifying glass icon should be a button and is not working or is just aesthetic.
Possible solution
Unfortunately I have no clue on what would be the issue, but it simply does not seem to save the provided path and therefore is not working. If it is a format problem, it might be usefull describe the appropiate format in that section of the settings in any case.
Idea for further improvemnt
Instead of giving a raw path it might include a file selector similar to the
display when links ([[]]) are written.
Could you try if this problem still exists with the beta version? https://github.com/LostPaul/obsidian-folder-notes/releases/tag/1.7.30-29-beta
Not working on 1.7.35. Let me know if it's still worth trying that beta - at a glance it didn't seem like https://github.com/LostPaul/obsidian-folder-notes/commit/4b5168d3a0745ed95fea15a55dfefe0d94dc6840 from fix-template-path branch was contained in it
Seems like a UI only issue where it doesn't show entered text or validation.
Workaround
Close Obsidian and edit .obsidian\plugins\folder-notes\data.json
e.g. I put `"templatePath": "Templates/Folder note template.md"
Caveat: The "Create folder note for every folder" option still doesn't use the template, but normal folder creation does use it fine after this
Thanks for the great plugin!

Should be fixed in the beta
