New zettel in doom-emacs does not strip the ID from the note title about zetteldeft

[sunnyrahul25]

@rotlaus Thank for sharing your config.
I got only title to show in new zettle However the filename created '2020-04-17-1624 true.org' has a space as separator between title and date.
If I use
(setq deft-file-naming-rules '( (noslash . "-")(nospace . "_") )))
then the title contains the date as well.
Is there a way to remove space as well.

Setting the deft-file-naming-rules back to default fixes the zetteldeft generated Title. But with zetteldeft-title-prefix set to nil and the file-templates package active it still looks like
#+TITLE: 2020 04 02 1558 Test 9

Can you share your zetteldeft configuration? How do you load the package?

[rotlaus]

It's the default doom installation. In the .doom.d/packages.el i have the package loaded with
(package! zetteldeft)

In the .doom.d/init.el i have enabled the deft package and in the .doom.d/config.el i have the default zetteldeft configuration:

(use-package deft
  :after org
  :custom
  (deft-recursive t)
  (deft-default-extension "org")
  (deft-directory "\~/pm/zettel/")
  :init
  (setq deft-file-naming-rules '( (noslash . "-") )))

(use-package! zetteldeft
  :commands (zetteldeft-new-file zetteldeft-tag-buffer zetteldeft-search-at-point zetteldeft-find-file zetteldeft-search-current-id zetteldeft-follow-link zetteldeft-avy-tag-search zetteldeft-new-file-and-link zetteldeft-file-rename zetteldeft-find-file-id-insert zetteldeft-find-file-full-title-insert zetteldeft-search-at-point zetteldeft-avy-link-search zetteldeft-avy-file-search-ace-window zetteldeft-find-file)
  :init
  (map! :leader
        :prefix ("d" . "zetteldeft")
        :desc "deft" "d" #'deft
        :desc "zetteldeft-deft-new-search" "D" #'zetteldeft-new-file
        :desc "deft-refresh" "R" #'deft-refresh
        :desc "zetteldeft-search-at-point" "s" #'zetteldeft-search-at-point
        :desc "zetteldeft-search-current-id" "c" #'zetteldeft-search-current-id
        :desc "zetteldeft-follow-link" "f" #'zetteldeft-follow-link
        :desc "zetteldeft-avy-file-search-ace-window" "F" #'zetteldeft-avy-file-search-ace-window
        :desc "zetteldeft-avy-link-search" "l" #'zetteldeft-avy-link-search
        :desc "zetteldeft-avy-tag-search" "t" #'zetteldeft-avy-tag-search
        :desc "zetteldeft-tag-buffer" "T" #'zetteldeft-tag-buffer
        :desc "zetteldeft-find-file-id-insert" "i" #'zetteldeft-find-file-id-insert
        :desc "zetteldeft-find-file-full-title-insert" "I" #'zetteldeft-find-file-full-title-insert
        :desc "zetteldeft-find-file" "o" #'zetteldeft-find-file

        :desc "zetteldeft-new-file-and-link" "N" #'zetteldeft-new-file-and-link
        :desc "zetteldeft-file-rename" "r" #'zetteldeft-file-rename
        :desc "zetteldeft-count-words" "x" #'zetteldeft-count-words
        )
  )

With the deft-file-naming-rules as above and the file-templates package disabled it works as intended.

To my shame i have to admit i never questioned the Ids in the title. I always thought that it was the way it has to be.

I don't immediately see where this issue comes from. My guess is that creating a new file via the deft search bar replaces spaces with - (as per doom default), which then causes issues for the zetteldeft--lift-file-title because of the additional dashes.

Just to gather information, can you report what happens when you

• make a new note via zetteldeft-new-file (which is SPC d n)
• make a new note via the deft search bar

In any case, the second way of creating new zetteldeft notes is not really supported, since here deft takes over the title generation. I might have to mention this in an introductory guide or something.

I made these test with the default doom config with the file-templates package activated and without the deft-file-naming-rules setting.

• make a new note via zetteldeft-new-file (which is SPC d n)

#+TITLE: 2020 04 06 1509 Test 7

#+TITLE: 2020-04-06-1509-test-7

Filename: 2020-04-06-1509-test-7.org

• make a new note via the deft search bar

#+TITLE: Test 8

Filename: test-8.org

But i wouldn't call this a bug, it's more a configuration issue. With the deft-file-naming-rules and the disabled file-templates package (or a (set-file-template! 'org-mode :ignore t) like mentioned by @neildurant in #26) and zetteldeft works like intended.
