No spoilers (unless you want to read a giant-ass pull request), but it’s going to be big: Templates 2.0 by zefhemel · Pull Request #636 · silverbulletmd/silverbullet · GitHub

More details once I wrap up this branch and merge it so you can get it on edge.

Ok people, this is now live on edge. Please have a look at the CHANGELOG before freaking out because things disappeared on you: SilverBullet

Wow, SilberBullet is getting really powerful :boom:

I know, this is some powerful stuff… that actually allowed me to delete a whole bunch of built in code and moved it to user land. My favorite type of improvement.

You may notice that the naming conventions for “Quick Note”, “Daily Note” an “Weekly Note” have changed, they will now be created under Inbox/, Journal/Day/ and Journal/Week/ respectively rather than using the cute :inbox_tray: and :date: emoji in the names. If you don’t like this new convention you can easily change it:

Navigate to the page template of the note of choice (via the Template Picker) and change e.g.

suggestedName: "Inbox/{{today}} {{time}}"

to

suggestedName "📥 {{today {{time}}"

And you’re back to the old default.

The reason I did this is that in the future I intend to add a feature to “decorate” page links with emoji (and perhaps other things) automatically, so you’d be able to visually see :inbox_tray: without actually having to have it in the page name itself.

This is great!
Cannot wait to find time to learn all the changes. I’d rather do it before i start working tomorrow or I’ll lose the whole day configuring SB instead of doing real work :smile:

As for the changes of daily/weekly templates, I’ll start adopting them and slowly migrating to the new convention, in preparation for the emoji decorations.

Really great change, also because it seems that the :inbox_tray: is not working with Git under Windows:

git pull
error: invalid path '📥 2024-01-16 15:55:33.md'
error: invalid path '📥 2024-01-17 14:26:22.md'
Updating e400339..857819c

I get this error, and the files don’t get created. The repository was filled by the Git plug from a SilverBullet instance running on Linux.

I don’t think this is a SilverBullet issue, but maybe better to avoid emoji in the default filenames. Strangely enough both :date: and :spiral_calendar: work perfectly fine.
