I (and perhaps others) would find it extremely useful and convenient to have an option that would require/force each note to be a folder note.
This would essentially turn notes into containers that hold a note, but also any number of other files and folders.
Also, all notes that don't belong to a folder with the same name would be ignored by Obsidian and not treated as notes that are a part of the vault.
The benefit of this would be the fact Obsidian would ignore README.md and LICENSE.md files from various projects I have in my vault.
Nested folder notes would not be allowed. (Or that could be a toggleable option. If they were allowed, there could be an "items" folder inside the note folder that could hold all child notes, but I don't need this functionality myself)

It would be great if there was a way to have a template where each folder note always contains certain folders (and/or files?).
For example:
I would like each note to be a folder that contains a .md file (actual note) alongside 3 other folders: data, dump and archive. (these 3 folders would be optional and configurable in the template)

SomeNote123 (folder serving as a container for the note, always present)

  • SomeNote123.md (actual note markdown file, always present)
  • data (folder containing any files or folders related to note, optional)
  • dump (folder containing any files or folders related to note that need to be sorted, processed and organized, optional)
  • archive (folder containing any files or folders related to note that I want to keep, but don't find useful or worthy of being in "data", optional)

I see the above structure as my perfect PKMS system.

If you could do something like this, that would be utterly amazing.
Thank you for making this plugin btw, it's a lifesaver. 👍
