[Request] Folder Path

[Mackan1000]

Would love it this could include a Folder path command, currently my PDF have a cover file in the same folder as the PDF named "cover.jpg" och would be awesome if was able to frontmatter like "Cover: {{FOLDER}}cover.jpg"

Here's a Templater script in a markdown snippet to show you how to do this. It adds a source property and only a cover property if its sibling cover.jpg exists.

---
aliases: 
tags:
<%*  
// Get the value of {{PATH}}  
const providedPath = await '{{PATH}}';

// Check if the provided path is not empty  
if (providedPath) {  
	// Get the parent directory (FOLDER) of the provided path  
	const parentFolder = app.vault.getAbstractFileByPath(providedPath).parent?.path;

    // Check if "cover.jpg" exists in the parent directory
    const coverPath = `${parentFolder}/cover.jpg`;
    const coverFile = app.vault.getAbstractFileByPath(coverPath);
    const providedFile = app.vault.getAbstractFileByPath(providedPath);

    if (coverFile && coverFile.path !== providedPath) {
        // Replace {{PATH}} with "Cover: FOLDER/cover.jpg"
        tR += `source: "[[${providedFile.path}|${providedFile.name}]]"\ncover: "[[${coverPath}|cover.jpg]]"`
    }
    else {
	    tR += `source: "[[${providedFile.path}|${providedFile.name}]]"`
	}
}  
%>

For my own solution I'm just patching the main.js directly in the plugin folder. As some point I'll probably clean it up for a patch that can be applied to the source itself, but since the plugin is "feature-complete" (or less charitably, "dead") and I doubt any PR would get merged, I'm not in any hurry -- as a case study, #10 solving this exact problem but with a different syntax (as based on what was given in the issue #4 which this duplicates) was submitted a couple months after this issue was created, and still hasn't had any response. So, to any future readers, take your pick of any of the three solutions and apply them yourself.
