Obsidian: Archive current file and then open next file in folder (Templater script)
<%*
/*
Updated: 9/20/2022
Author: TfTHacker
Gist: https://gist.github.com/TfTHacker
Twitter: https://twitter.com/TfTHacker
Requirements: Templater Plugin for Obsidian
Description: This script performs the following actions:
1. Moves current file to the archive folder (defined in the variable archivePath)
if archivePath is null, a folders in the vault will be presented for selection
examples:
let archivePath = null;
or:
let archivePath = '/test/path/;
2. Opens next file in current folder into the active window pane in Obsidian
Updates:
- 9/20/2022: Small fix to make this script compatible with Templater 1.14.3
