Note Mover Rules

What it does

Move notes into folders by ordered rules on tags, properties, titles and paths, with a preview before any bulk move.

Write the rules once and let them file your notes. Nothing moves until you ask (or turn on automatic moving), a bulk move shows you every move first, and every move can be undone.

Highlights

• A note already inside the destination folder (or one of its subfolders) stays where it is, and a rule that matches it stops later rules from moving it.
• A note is never overwritten: if a note with that name is already in the destination, it stays and the preview lists it separately.
• Two rules that would send a note back and forth (a path rule matching the new folder, say) never move it: the preview lists it as staying.
• Notes in an excluded folder (Templates by default, names compared ignoring case) never move, and neither does a note with note-mover: disable in its properties.
• A rule with a problem (an invalid regular expression, an empty tag) says so in the settings and never matches.
• The destination folder is created if it does not exist, unless you turn that off.
