Disable Templater on new note creation? #29

Closed LemurTech closed 2 weeks ago

LemurTech commented 4 months ago

Am I right that I have to disable Templater on new note creation if I want this plugin to work correctly? Even without folder templates active, if I have Templater enabled on new note creation, the Journals frontmatter entries get overwritten by Templater. I can see they are briefly there, and then they are gone!

Do I really have to choose, or am I just doing something wrong?

There is a delay (1s) before plugin injects frontmatter - this is to allow templater to inject content with on new note creation enabled. It worked fine when I tested on simple templates. But probably in your case it takes more time than this delay for temaplater to process template.

I plan to add fullfledged support for templater templates (so that templates can be selected in plugin settings) - but this is couple weeks at least till I get to it.

Looks like for now it would be better to disable on new note creation in templater and apply template manually. Sorry for this inconvenience.

Hey, thank you for that hint. I found the delay constant FRONTMATTER_ADDING_DELAY in the code and extended it from 800ms to 1500ms. I found that this is working for me, at least for the moment!

@LemurTech in 1.3.0 templater support was improved so that you can select Templater templates in plugin settings (plugin will use Templater under the hood to process templates) check https://github.com/srg-kostyrko/obsidian-journal#templater-caveeats on how to adjust setting to avoid problems with templater interfering
