1.4.13 (and all subsequent) stopped working with my note layout

Describe the bug

My daily notes folder pattern is YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD \C\A\L\L – that is, e.g. 2021/01/2021-01-29 CALL.md would be today’s note. This pattern worked fine with this plugin up to and including version 1.4.12. 1.4.13 and above refuse to acknowledge that my (5 years worth of) daily notes exist.

Steps to reproduce

1. Configure the plugin with the date format shown (or any format that includes a /
2. Create a note with the correct path, and enough content that a dot should display
3. The calendar plugin does not display a dot, even if you use the calendar plugin to create the note
4. Clicking on the date of the created note will say it doesn’t exist and ask to create it (which will then fail since it does in fact exist)

Expected behavior

It should detect existing notes according to the format, displaying dots and opening the files instead of trying to create them again.

Okay, so I’ve given this more thought and here’s what I ended up with:

• obsidian-daily-notes-interface now handles nested directories in the “format”
• obsidian-daily-notes-interface now also recursively creates nested folders as needed
• I created a new plugin called Periodic Notes which adds support for nested directories within the Daily Notes commands (e.g. Open Today)
  • This also enabled me to add better validation and error handling within the settings, hopefully avoiding potential confusion as to where notes will appear.

I’ll release a new version of the calendar plugin with support for the above after I finish up QA.

@pjeby yeah, exactly. There is a wizard in the Periodic Notes settings that migrates your settings over too.
