Help with included and excluded folders #48

Closed PabloOQ closed 2 years ago

PabloOQ commented 2 years ago

Hello, I think I'm not understanding correctly how the exluded and included folders work, I have tried a lot of combinations but I can't make it work. My case is the following, let's say I have a vault Vault, a folder A and a folder B. I want to dynamically have Zoottelkeeper make an index for folder A and all it's subfolders, dynamically. For folder B I want the opposite, I do not want Zoottelkeeper to make any indexes to folder B and all it's subfolders, dynamically. Worst case scenario I create a Vault for each of these folder, but I rather keep them in the same vault so I can link the notes of these together when needed. Also if I can avoid having an index in the root of the Vault that would be great, but I don't mind it if it can't be removed. Related to #42 . Thank you.

Thank you.

Did you ever find a solution to this issue?

PabloOQ commented 2 years ago

No, I don't think is possible to do this automatically yet

cesar-programs commented 2 years ago

I see. Are you still using the plug-in or are you creating your indexes/MOCs manually?

PabloOQ commented 2 years ago

Neither, for the moment I am just using nested folders as is, no automatic linking. However in the issue mentioned above someone said that they are using a script, I haven't tried it myself. Best you can do at the moment would be using that script and schedule to run it daily to keep up with your notes. Crontab comes to mind in Unix. Maybe there is a plugin that allows some kind of script scheduling too. Hope it helps.

Hi all,

in version 0.18.0 I tried to improve the include/exclude feature, now it accepts absolute folders with or without starting '/' characters, moreover if you type '*' at the end of the folder, it means that the folder and its recursive subfolders are excluded/included. Sorry for the problems, I hope it works a bit better now.
