Added ability To Create Notes in Folders

[TobyDustin]

Description

This pull request introduces a new feature to the VSJournal extension, allowing users to create a new note inside a specified folder. The new command, VSJournal: Create New Note in Folder, enhances the existing functionality by providing better organisation and structure for journal entries.

Changes

1. New Command Implementation

   • Added a new command VSJournal: Create New Note in Folder to the extension.
   • This command prompts the user to select or create a folder, then creates a new note inside the chosen folder.

2. UI Enhancements

   • Updated the command palette to include the new command.
   • Added a folder selection dialog to allow users to specify the target folder for the new note defaulting to the workspace directory of the VS code project.

3. Code Modifications

   • Modified the command registration in extension.js to include the new command.
   • Implemented folder selection and note creation logic in a new function disposableCreateNoteInFolder within extension.js.

4. Documentation

   • Updated the extension's README.md to include instructions for using the new command.

How to Test

1. Open VS Code with the VSJournal extension installed.
2. Open the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P).
3. Type and select VSJournal: Create New Note in Folder.
4. Choose an existing folder or create a new one in the dialog that appears.
5. Verify that a new note is created inside the selected folder with the appropriate naming convention.

Hi @TobyDustin, thanks for the PR.

I was thinking of an improvement like this. It would also be better to have the user type the folder path while they create the notes.

For example:

todo/shopping-list meetings/toby<>indra

And create the notes in the directory specified in the path. If the directory is not created we create the directory before creating the notes. WDYT?

Thats a really great idea. With this implementation as well we don't have to specify a new command, we can use the create notes command. I will make the change now.

Do we need to think about users wanting to use "/" in there notes titles? if we start splitting the notes titles this may cause an issue?
