Feature Request: Allow date formats in folder names

See original GitHub issue

I’m revamping how I do my daily notes (again) and considering using this plugin in conjunction with the Folder Note plugin to create hierarchical folders like the following:

  • 01 journal/
    • YYYY/
      • MM/
        • MM.md
        • ww/
          • ww.md
          • DD.md (This structure isn’t final, but also is only provided as an example, anyway)

When I attempt to add a / character into the format to try and create this structure (for example, a daily note format of YYYY/MM/ww/DD it will tell me that I’ve used an invalid character. Indeed, if it did accept the character, it would probably fail because it’s not making the folders.

So my request is to either specifically cater for the / in the format and create all the intermediate folders or otherwise allow formatting in the ‘Note Folder’ option (which also caters for creating intermediate folders)

Okay, fixed the validation errors in v0.0.4. Should be good now

I was considering doing that anyway, but thanks for the heads up on that. Saves me figuring it out the hard way later.
