Hi! I recently came across Silverbullet and found many of its ideas align with my note-taking system. However, I’m wondering if it’s possible to use a different format for the filename compared to the note title. For example, if I have an index note titled “index”, I’d like to save it as `2024041710140_index.md`, but still display “index” as the title in the GUI and frontmatter. I haven’t been able to figure out if this is possible. Can you help? Thanks in advance! ---

No, this is not possible right now. There’s this idea of [Page Style Templates](https://community.silverbullet.md/t/page-style-templates/46) that may support something along those lines, but that hasn’t been implemented so far. ---

I see. That’s a bummer. Ideally I would like to have my file as `creationdate_slug-with-note-title.md` (this could be done with a note title prompt, or after note is saved) If I would change this in the code do you have any direction where I can tweak that? I appreciate your work and I will try to see if I can adapt to my notes. Thanks ---

This would be quite a fundamental change. There’s no single place to “tweak” it. ---

Ok, I understand. Thanks 🙂 ---

I think improving this would also help improve this other: > [@Customize search results](https://community.silverbullet.md/t/customize-search-results/235): > > Hello: The file name in my case is not relevant (add image). How can you customize search results? In my case I want it to display the first level 1 header of the page or the value of the title tag of the yaml if it exists, instead of the file name. Very thanks.
