Auto Note Mover Plus

Auto Note Mover Plus is a powerful Obsidian plugin that automatically moves your notes to specific folders based on flexible rules. It is a fork of the original Auto Note Mover with enhanced capabilities.

Key Features (Plus)

• Multiple Conditions per Rule: Combine multiple checks (Tag, Title, Property, Date) for a single folder destination.
• Flexible Matching: Choose between ALL (AND) or ANY (OR) logic for your conditions.
• Date-Based Organization: Move notes based on creation/modification time or custom date frontmatter fields.

How it works

1. Define Rules: You set up rules that map conditions to a destination folder.
2. Trigger:
   • Automatic: Moves notes automatically when you create, edit, or rename them.
   • Manual: Moves notes only when you run the "Move the note" command.

Configuration

Rules

Each rule consists of:

1. Destination Folder: Where the notes should go.
2. Match Mode:
   • ALL: The note must meet every condition in the list.
   • ANY: The note must meet at least one condition in the list.
3. Conditions: Add one or more criteria.

Condition Types

Type	Description	Example
Tag	Matches a tag in the note.	#journal, #work/project
Title	Matches the note title using Regex.	^Daily Note, Meeting$
Property	Matches a frontmatter property (key or key=value).	status: active, published: true
Date	Matches date criteria (see below).	Created Time, Modified Time
Folder	Restricts rule to notes in specific source folders.	/inbox, /drafts

Folder Condition Details

Restrict a rule to only apply to notes in specific source folders.

• Folder Path: Specify the source folder path (e.g., /inbox).
• Include Subfolders: When enabled, the rule also matches notes in all subfolders.
  • Example: Folder /notes with "Include subfolders" ON matches:
    • /notes/file.md ✓
    • /notes/subfolder/file.md ✓
    • /notes/deep/nested/file.md ✓
  • With "Include subfolders" OFF, only exact folder match:
    • /notes/file.md ✓
    • /notes/subfolder/file.md ✗

Date Condition Details

Organize notes into date-based subfolders (e.g., 2023/10).

• Source: Choose Frontmatter (specify a key like created) or File Metadata (ctime/mtime).
• Format: Use {{YYYY}}, {{MM}}, {{DD}} in your Destination Folder path.
  • Example Folder Path: Journal/{{YYYY}}/{{MM}}
  • If the date is 2023-11-25, note moves to Journal/2023/11.
