Ask for File/Heading Option.

[SabinaKu]

Hello,

firstly thanks for this wonderful plugin.
I would like to use a more flexible QuickAdd Capture. What I mean is: I would like to use a Hotkey. Then QuickAdd asks me what note (and maybe under what heading) I would like to capture something and then asks what text I would like to capture.
I dont know if you guys can just add the button "Capture to: ask for file" in the settings of a capture.

That would be epic!

Thanks

Hi @SabinaKu

A while back I made a macro called Capture Anywhere. This will prompt for a file to capture to, and then use a capture to capture to it.
First, make a macro with this script:

module.exports = async (params) => {
    const allMdFiles = params.app.vault.getMarkdownFiles();
    const selectedFilePath = await params.quickAddApi.suggester(
        allMdFiles.map(f => f.basename),
        allMdFiles.map(f => f.path)
    );

    params.variables.path = selectedFilePath;
}

Then create a capture inside that macro. The file path should be {{VALUE:path}}. That is what we use the script earlier for.
Now you can otherwise customize the capture however you like.

Thank you for posting this. Im not yet comfortable with using/editing macros. I found a workaround/better option using Apple‘s Shortcut though.
Still would love to see the feature in QuickAdd!
