date formating of Month resulting different in Daily and Weekly

Open G3N0M3 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

I'm currently trying to use both daily and weekly notes and create them in the following directory environment

env

So I configured the date formats and Note folder as the following

  • Daily Daily_setting

  • Weekly Weekly_setting

But when I create daily and weekly notes through the hotkeys mapped for "Periodic Notes: Open daily note" and "Periodic Notes: Open weekly note", different months result. image

I'm guessing it's because the starting of week 35 is August but the date is September 1st. Is there a way to adjust settings/date format so I can create "_Planning/2022/September/Week_35th/35th"? I don't care if another weekly note is created when a month changes.

Also

  1. the local time is "Korean Time Zone (UTC+9)", in case default time zone is different in daily and weekly
  2. daily notes plugin is enabled and migrated migration

As weeks don't map tidily into months, Weekly notes may organise more tidily one level up, as direct children of the year. There will only ever be 52[^except], and as you've identified they don't naturally fit as descendants of months.

2022
 + W35.md
 + September
   + 01.md

In the use case described above, had the Weekly note been created on Tuesday, would you have expected it to be placed in August or September?

[^except]: or 53, if the year starts on a Thursday (or Wednesday in leap years)

@xurizaemon I kind of wanted to have W35.md for both August and September, but it seems uneccessary now that I think of it. I eventually decided to only use daily notes, and I don't think I'm using the plug-in anymore. But thanks for the reply! I think the problem was the plan-structure I was devising rather than the plug-in really.
