Create Folder at Note Location

Creates a folder at the location of the current note.

This is a very simple Obsidian plugin that adds two commands to create a folder at the location of the current active note. The first command (Add Folder Here) will just add a folder at the location of the current active note. The other command (Add Folder with Note Here) adds a folder and a note with the same name to it and then opens the note. I added the second command because I use the Waypoint plugin and this automatically creates a folder note for the folder.

You can also set any file to be used as a template for the folder note. When the Add Folder with Note Here command is used, the template file will be copied to become the folder note.

This plugin was created using the sample plugin for Obsidian (https://obsidian.md).
