Date Automations

[markpermann]

With Date Automations installed, if I enter a command, say /time, I get a popup that begins with
"No templates folder found".

I can select "Cancel command" and then get the timestamp. But that seems to me to be one step more than desirable.

I would think if you have a template, that's followed; else, the default format is executed as documented in the README file.

Do I have to create a template file if I just want to use the defaults but also avoid the extra (and confusingly worded) step of selecting "Cancel command"?

Mark, Thank you for pointing out this bug. You are right. This plugin is caught in intermediate migration from the old type of _configuration file to the new configuration system which just released. I believe that @mikeerickson is soon to make these date functions as part of a new global plugins system at which point this plugin will be removed. Or, worst case, he will make some global date config/settings available and I will migrate this plugin to use them. You are correct…it should not need any configuration, and it won't when the new one gets released. Stay tuned. @mikeerickson may be able to give you some timing on that. FYI, @codedungeon, here are the  relevant commands: https://github.com/NotePlan/plugins/blob/main/dwertheimer.DateAutomations/plugin.json Best, David

Thanks David! Wasn't sure it was a bug else I'd have reported it that way :) Appreciate the info.

@dwertheimer @markpermann I am squashing my final list of bugs and cleaning up documentation. Time permitting, it could come as soon as early next week.

I do need to coordinate with @jgclark on a few things but noting major so we should be in good to go very soon
