Feature Request: Custom Template

[bryanwhiting]

FYI - i just downloaded this yesterday and I was thrilled. Amazing. It's going to open worlds for me. If you have a coffee link please let me buy you one!

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Template integration. Similar to #4 in a way, but different. I'm not talking about own prompts, but the formatting of the document.

Describe the solution you'd like
Right now it just has "transcription + summary + mermaid", etc.

What if in the settings you could expose a customizable box like this:

Default Template:

---
source:
created_by:
---

# Transcript
{{audio_link}}

# Summary
{{ai summary}} {{prompt: "Give 3 bullet points"}}

# Mermaid Chart
{{mermaid}}

And then the user could customize it like this if they want to remove the mermaid diagram, or update the tags/created date.

---
source:
created_by:
tags:
created: {{date:yyyy-mm-dd}}
---

# Transcript
{{audio_link}}

# Summary
{{prompt: "Give 3 bullet points describing {{transcript}}" }}

Describe alternatives you've considered

The following plugins already do something like this:

• ReadItLater or
• Obsidian WebClipper (Chrome extension)
• Linter

They have mini-templates inside the settings that let you easily define what content you'd like where.

Heya @bryanwhiting , thanks for feedback!
This sort of functionality should be covered in the other feature request!

I really appreciate surfacing the idea for the customizable box and doing it that way! That may be an easy way for me to approach doing this!

I'm super glad that you are getting use out of this and I most definitely hope it opens up worlds for you, it most definitely has for me!

I'd be honored to receive a coffee from ya, my link is here

Coffee sent!

I'd also like to customize the filename. Is that covered in the prior PR?

YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM - title is my preferred way, as all of my files are datetime-stamped and putting scribe-Y-M-D throws off the alphabetical sort.

I'm seeing this:

https://github.com/Mikodin/obsidian-scribe/blob/main/src/util/fileUtils.ts#L21

and this

obsidian-scribe/src/index.ts

Line 274 in b938846

const llmFileName = `scribe-${moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD')}-${normalizePath(llmSummary.title)}`;

as hard-coded. it'd be great if those were parameterized per settings!

[bryanwhiting]

and this can also be parameterized as it is in Linter (as you already know):

obsidian-scribe/src/util/fileUtils.ts

Lines 70 to 75 in b938846

	await plugin.app.fileManager.processFrontMatter(noteFile, (frontMatter) => {
	const newFrontMatter = {
	...frontMatter,
	source: [...(frontMatter.source || []), `[[${audioFile.path}]]`],
	created_by: '[[Scribe]]',
	};

The other part is the prompting, but that's a separate opportunity.

Ah, this we can break out as a separate feature, I can get to this over the weekend!

The templating I am beginning to work on and what's taking shape right now is a solid improvement into how I add the notes to the file 🚀

Here's the feature request for this
#12

[Mikodin]

@bryanwhiting Thank you so much for the donation man, it's a really nice thing to receive, thank you 🙏

@bryanwhiting Just pushed this update closing out #12

Thanks for the input!

You can now do this, in the Scribe settings, just set your prefix to {{date}} -
and your Date format to YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM
