Move to Subfolder

Helge Tobias KosuchHelge Tobias Kosuch76 downloads

Moves the current note into a new subfolder named after the note, with an option to rename the subfolder.

Add to Obsidian
  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates5

Adds the command "Move the current note into a new subfolder". This command creates a folder named after the current note in the same directory as the current note. The current note is then moved into this folder. Then, the rename dialog for the folder opens. Also helpful to organize into folders is my plugin Move to linking file.

Installation

Install it from https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/move-to-subfolder. Consider assigning it to a hotkey (I use Ctrl+F3).

Changelog

1.1.3

  • Fixed an issue where case-only folder renames (e.g. lowercase to uppercase) could be blocked on case-insensitive filesystems.
  • Documentation improvements and added automated GitHub release script.
