request: search for only folders?

Open zeltak opened this issue 2 years ago • 9 comments

Hi!

many times I have the need to jot a note in a specific folder. is there a way to limit search just to folders with AQS?

thx a lot!

@zeltak You can search the specific folder by inputting folder_name/. The last / is important.

thx so much @tadashi-aikawa !

I actually tried that but it can't seem to present an option to jump to the folder or even show the folder, ie

what am I doing wrong?

as always many thx for your amazing work, your multiple plugins are just pure joy :)!!!

@zeltak It looks like it has no problems for me 🤔

There are 12 files in the "Obsidian" directory and the same with the result in AQS.

ahh maybe I wasn't clear enough. :) I dont want to see all files in the obsidian/ directory but jump to the root level of the obsidian/ directory. is that possible at all currently?

Does that makes sense?

thx so much

Thank you for your description. I understood 👍

In your case, is it better to add a new feature similar to "Move file to another folder" command?

It will show the directory on the file explorer (in Obsidian) instead of moving a file. (If possible...)

tadashi-aikawa avatar Sep 04 '22 13:09 tadashi-aikawa

yeah that sounds perfect!

thx so much for considering this!

best regards

Hello @zeltak and @tadashi-aikawa !!!

Sorry to step into this FR. I would like to share 2 ideas about this topic 💡🙏

In your case, is it better to add a new feature similar to "Move file to another folder" command?

It will show the directory on the file explorer (in Obsidian) instead of moving a file. (If possible...)

Idea 1️⃣

How about an additional command that open the note that is focused/selected in the AQS in the File Explorer ???

A9F21C21-E374-48FF-9482-3F199BADB17B

This way we have all scenarios covered: Directory and File :)

Idea 2️⃣

@tadashi-aikawa how about opening the file explorer menu context (mouse right click) after showing the File Explorer ???

883EA14B-CC3A-45B9-A19E-60AEA4F56DCB

My idea is to automate the workflow of using File Explorer to become 100% keyboard friendly.

From my workflows, 99% of the time that I open File Explorer, is to open the menu context to manage the File or directory:

  • Delete
  • Rename
  • Make a Copy (Duplicate)

I dont know if idea 2️⃣ is feasible 🧐

Have a great day !

#103 (comment)

@tadashi-aikawa

May I ask if this is already implemented? If yes, please forgive me if I can't find the command for it.

@N3C2L No, unfortunately, it has not been implemented yet, but it is planned.

tadashi-aikawa avatar Apr 28 '24 09:04 tadashi-aikawa

I also really need this feature,thanks

It will show the directory on the file explorer (in Obsidian) instead of moving a file. (If possible...) @tadashi-aikawa
