Feature Request: Exclude notes from automatic queueing

[finn-matti]

Firstly, let me congratulate you on this awesome plugin. I only used for three days and have seen my writing productivity improve a lot.

With that said I would like a way to exclude some new posts from automatic queueing. Maybe it would be possible to provide a folder (or an array of folders even?) that would be excluded? Even better would be a search query string, but since the automatic queueing happens when creating the note this would add some complexity…

Thanks for your consideration.

Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you are finding the plugin useful!

Instead of using the "auto add notes to queue" feature in the settings, I recommend that you instead use the queue tags setting. I just released it the other day so make sure to update to the latest version. Here's how it works:

In the settings page you can define a list of queue names and associated tags. When you modify a note, the plugin will check to see if a queue tag was added. If so, the note will automatically get added to the queue. This mapping only applies to when you modify a note, ie. when you install the plugin it won't automatically add all notes with a given tag to a queue. So the recommended workflow is to begin by searching for all notes with a given tag and adding those to a queue using the "add search results to queue" function. Then you can set up the queue to tag mapping in the settings to make sure that future notes with a given tag get added to the queue.

The format for each line in the queue tags setting is like this:

Queue1=tag1,tag2,tag3

So notes tagged with tag1, tag2 or tag3 will get added to Queue1.

I recommend using the queue tags method rather than the "auto add notes to queue" setting because using tags gives you more control over which notes get added and which queue(s) they get added to.

I'll give it try! …but please consider this request regardless. Since automatic queueing is so frictionless, I would love to not have to use tags for what I've not intended them to.

Ok I will consider adding that in a future version

@bjsi I might even consider giving the implementation a try myself, do you accept PRs?

Sounds good! Let me know if you need any help.
