Documentation of Settings? #36

Closed judisohn closed 5 months ago

judisohn commented 10 months ago

I don't normally create issues for questions. Apologies but I didn't see a better way to contact the developer.

I've had this plugin installed for a while. But there seems to be no documentation or explanation of all the Settings. Especially the "Folder Overview" behind the "Manage" button. Can that be explained, please? Thanks.

I am also confused about what Folder Overview does (seems like it's useful for generating indexes of folders and whatnot; but it's unclear how it works - the settings seem to not affect anything obvious)

nevir commented 10 months ago

Aha: From digging around the source, you need to insert a folder-overview code block:

```folder-overview
```

(e.g. make a template for folder notes, and include that in it for an automatic index)

Is anything else important missing in the docs? A few weeks ago I explained most of the features here: https://lostpaul.github.io/obsidian-folder-notes/

Thank you @LostPaul - this was very helpful and I'm starting to transition from Waypoint to Folder Notes for my Folder Note content. The documentation was helpful but still has some gaps I'd love to understand:

Thanks!
