Note file condition

Checks the file itself — its name, or the folder(s) it lives in — instead of a frontmatter property or the title. Literal (non-regex) comparisons are case-insensitive. A /regex/ value is case-sensitive instead, unless you add the i flag — see Regex Matching.

IF  Note file: Filename contains → "draft"

The condition row is: Note file type → operator dropdown → value field (no separate property-name field — the file itself is what’s being checked).

Operators

Operator	Checks against	Example
Filename contains	file.basename (no extension)	filename contains “draft”
Filename not contains	file.basename	filename not contains “template”
Filename exactly match	file.basename	filename exactly “index”
Parent folder is	the folder path the file lives in	see below
Parent folder is not	the folder path the file lives in (inverted)	see below

The three filename operators also accept a /regex/-wrapped value — see Regex Matching. Parent folder is / Parent folder is not always stay literal path matching; they don’t accept regex.

Parent folder is

Accepts either a single folder name or a partial path — enter the folder name(s) only, never a path starting with / from the vault root.

IF  Note file: Parent folder is → "ClienteA"

Matches any note under a folder named ClienteA, at any depth — ClienteA/notes/file.md and Projects/ClienteA/2026/file.md both match.

IF  Note file: Parent folder is → "meetings/transcripts/company"

Matches when those three segments appear contiguous and in that order anywhere in the file’s folder path — e.g. Work/meetings/transcripts/company/2026/file.md matches, but meetings/company/transcripts/file.md does not (wrong order).

Parent folder is not

The exact inverse of Parent folder is — same matching rules, opposite result. Useful to exclude a folder from a broader rule:

IF    Note file: Parent folder is not → "Archive"
THEN  Note file: Add name prefix → "[ACTIVE] "

Runs on every note except those under an Archive folder anywhere in their path.

Leaving the value empty makes Parent folder is never match, and Parent folder is not always match — same “nothing to compare against” convention as the does not contain operator elsewhere in the plugin.
