Changing standard Save Paths and adjusting save paths of Journal entries

v1: Troubleshooting

Right now it will select the same folder as the page you’re pasting into as the default folder to upload to. There’s not really a way to change this right now, but it would be very doable to add a setting for that. Feel free to create a Github issue to request this.

For this you need to change the Daily Note (or weekly note) template.

To do this properly, I’d recommend you move the template outside the Journal library, e.g. from Library/Journal/New Page/Daily Note to Library/Personal/New Page/Daily Note.

Then, exclude it from being synced in again during your next library sync, by updating libraries in your SETTINGS, e.g.:

libraries:
- source: "[[!silverbullet.md/Library/Journal/*]]"
  exclude: 
  - "[[!silverbullet.md/Library/Journal/New Page/Daily Note]]"

Then proceed to update your “forked” daily note template (Library/Personal/New Page/Daily Note). In there, you’ll see:

suggestedName: "Journal/Day/{{today}}"

This uses {{today}} which is of the form 2024-09-23, to change that to 2024/09/23 you can use the replace function: {{replace(today(), "-", "/")}}

Also feel free to replace Journal/Day/ with any other prefix you’d like to use instead.

This should give you what you want.
