Are the weekly notes created with periodic notes?

The settings are set up so they can be, but I usually create them by hand. Either way, same folder. So periodic note settings:

In order: /YYYY/GGGG-[W]WW 000 - Landing Page. Inbox. KO. Meta/Storage/Periodic Notes/Weekly/2022 000 - Landing Page. Inbox. KO. Meta/_Templates/Basic Templates/Weekly Intentions Template.md

Here is what one looks like:

## Obsidian List Modified

You can see the OLM section at the end here

[franciskafieh]

The settings are set up so they can be, but I usually create them by hand. Either way, same folder. So periodic note settings:

Yes, that should be all that matters. This means I'd be able to pull the name of the file from those settings instead of the user needing to enter it. Thing is, I was also thinking of going back to the v1 of allowing users to make custom log files. Will probably implement these at the same time eventually.

[franciskafieh]

Actually wondering how custom file select would work. Maybe I'll make a "log" option where one constant file is selected and there is a new heading every day? Going to open another issue for that, since it's unrelated to your FR

[brimwats]

Thank you for thinking about it!

[franciskafieh]

going to prioritize this as it should be super simple to implement

[rmchale]

Any update on this one? Thinking about switching to weekly notes instead of daily notes

[franciskafieh]

I do plan on getting this added for release 2.1, but as per the README:

development of this plugin is on hold until February as I am very busy with academics. This plugin is not abandoned.

I hope to get this released ASAP, but I have a really tight schedule ATM and do not have time to devote to the plugin until february.

[brimwats]

there's no stress @franciskafieh !

[franciskafieh]

just wondering @rmchale @brimwats , would allowing only (one of) daily/weekly/monthly/... at a time suffice? or would you prefer having multiple on at once?

[rmchale]

One at a time works for me. I switched from daily notes to weekly

[rmchale]

I feel like a regex for file selection could work..

[franciskafieh]

I feel like a regex for file selection could work..

if you mean to select the current periodic note, there's a library that the periodic notes plugin author wrote that does this, so we wouldn't need a regex

[franciskafieh]

One at a time works for me. I switched from daily notes to weekly

Sounds good!

[brimwats]

just wondering @rmchale @brimwats , would allowing only (one of) daily/weekly/monthly/... at a time suffice? or would you prefer having multiple on at once?

I generally have a monthly one and it would be nice to open it in upcoming but not necessary!

[franciskafieh]

upcoming

Would you mind explaining to me what upcoming is? I've never used periodic notes, but I'm looking through it right now, and I can't find any feature with this name

[franciskafieh]

Implemented a dropdown menu to choose from daily/weekly/monthly in 2.1. Currently, quarterly and yearly are not options because I couldn't see why people would want them, and I'd imagine they would get slow pretty quick, as more files add up to the list.

[brimwats]

thank you so much!!

[franciskafieh]

Hey everyone, just released version 2.1. Feel free to give it a spin and let me know how it goes!
