Description
Story:
As a GM, I want to sync my externally imported journal entries with simple quest journal entries so that I do not have to drag and drop individual journal entires into predefined SimpleQuest journal entires.
Background:
I have a Obsidian to Foundry pipeline where I import my folder and note structure into Foundry (https://foundryvtt.com/packages/md-to-journal). It's great, an absolute game changer, and I love it! My players also love using Simple Quest. But I need to be able to bridge the imported Obsidian folders to Simple Quest.
Today the solution in place, Simple Quest sees each Journal Entry as a Category, and ignores subfolders inside the Lore and Quest folders. So, when I drag a folder of say - all of the worlds in my setting, where each world is its own journal entry, and there's a folder that has all of them in them - Simple Quest does not recognize any of it.
I can drag individual journal entries over, but then I lose the folder structure. This is suboptimal for my content pipeline.
Today's Functionality:
Given I have the appropriate permissions to modify the Lore and Quest journal folders
And I am on the Journals tab of Foundry, NOT in Simple Quest
When I drag a folder of journal entries from outside of the Lore or Quest folders into the Lore or Quest folders
Then Simple Quest will not recognize the -folder- as a new or updated Category and does not display the contents of the folder.
Desired Functionality:
Given I have the appropriate permissions to see the Lore and Quest journal folders
And I am on the Journals tab of Foundry, NOT in Simple Quest
When I drag a folder of journal entries from outside of the Lore or Quest folders into the Lore or Quest folders
Then Simple Quest will recognize the -folder- as a new or updated Category and display the contents accordingly.
After searching for this specific request relatively extensively, I've run across a lot of folder requests that have been removed as duplicates. So, I've gone ahead and checked the following:
This is -not- a duplicate of https://theripper93.canny.io/feature-requests/p/simple-quest-ability-to-add-categories-to-journals.
-- This details desired functionality for adding categories and folders INSIDE Simple Quest. The desired functionality is specific to recognizing folders created outside of Simple Quest and dragged in as new or updated categories.
Some additional requests I've found:
https://theripper93.canny.io/feature-requests/p/simple-quest-folders
-- This is similar, but I am specifically honing on dragging and dropping folders from outside the Lore and Quest folders into the Lore and Quest Folders
https://theripper93.canny.io/feature-requests/p/simple-quest-import-from-obsidian
-- I am -not- requesting an import from obsidian, as noted I use another module for that, which imports each .md file as a Journal entry. This is specifically related to moving those folders from -outside- the Lore and Quest folders -into- the Lore and Quest folders.
