Conversation
A Template choice with one destination and Include subfolders off still opened the folder chooser when the active file lived in a descendant of that folder. The chooser listed <current folder> plus the configured path. Co-authored-by: Christian Bager Bach Houmann <[email protected]>
getOrCreateFolder counted the <current folder> shortcut as a second destination, so Include subfolders off still prompted when the active file sat in a descendant of the configured folder. Decide the prompt from configured destinations only. Add the shortcut only after a chooser is already required. Fixes #1705 Co-authored-by: Christian Bager Bach Houmann <[email protected]>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe template engine now evaluates folder prompts using configured destinations only. It preserves chooser ordering when multiple folders require selection. Tests cover active files, subfolders, and the ChangesFolder chooser behavior
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to This change prevents an unnecessary folder chooser when one destination is already configured while preserving interactive behavior for multi-destination cases. The scoped regression coverage supports the intended behavior, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review. Poem

When “In a specific folder” has no configured folders but an active file exists, getFolderPath() passes that file’s parent as the sole topItems entry with allowCreate: true. Clearing topItems here makes shouldPromptForFolder() see zero items and open the chooser (or abort a headless run), whereas the previous combined context selected the active folder directly, matching the settings UI’s documented fallback. Ignore the current-folder shortcut when deciding between one configured destination and a chooser, but retain it when there are no configured destinations.

Complete the required end-to-end verification.
The added tests use a mocked InputSuggester and fake App, so they do not exercise the registered command in Obsidian. Run the unit suite and the isolated QuickAdd E2E workflow with plugin id quickadd and a vault= prefix. Exercise both direct command and hotkey paths. Capture tabs, workspace IDs, dev:console, and dev:errors, then stop the instance.

Why
A Template choice with one destination and Include subfolders off still opened the folder suggester when the active file lived in a descendant of that folder. The reporter's Article choice targeted
LiteratureNotes/1_Articlesand used a date-nested file name, so they were usually already inside that tree. The toggle looked broken.The chooser listed
<current folder>plus the configured path.getOrCreateFoldertreated that shortcut as a second destination, soitems.length > 1opened a prompt the settings had already decided.Scope
TemplateEngine.getOrCreateFoldernow decides whether to prompt from the configured destination list only. The<current folder>shortcut is added only after a chooser is already required.previewTargetFolder.tsdrops the old "known residual" note. A single configured folder is the folder the run will use.Tests in
TemplateChoiceEngine.folderSorting.test.tscover the reporter's shape (one folder, subfolders present, active file in a descendant), the no-active-file control, and the still-prompting case with several specified folders.Tradeoffs
The shortcut still appears when the choice already has several destinations, Include subfolders is on, or the mode is "ask each time". Those runs were already interactive. The change is that a shortcut can no longer create a prompt.
Blast Radius
Template (and any other
getOrCreateFoldercaller) runs that already had one destination stop asking. Runs that already needed a chooser keep the current-folder row. File-name preview for a single configured folder now matches the run.No settings migration. Existing choices keep their stored flags.
Verification
Reproduced the reporter's config in
TemplateChoiceEngine.folderSorting.test.ts. Before the fix,InputSuggester.Suggestwas called with["<current folder>", "LiteratureNotes/1_Articles"]. After the fix, that test does not open the suggester.Also asserted that two specified folders still offer the current-folder shortcut.
pnpm exec vitest run --config vitest.config.mts src/engine/TemplateChoiceEngine.folderSorting.test.tspasses (5 tests). Full unit suite: 4990 passed, 37 skipped.Obsidian CLI was not available in this environment (no
obsidianbinary, emptyDISPLAY). The matching-surface check is the engine test that drivesTemplateChoiceEngine.getFolderPaththrough the real suggester mock.Fixes #1705
