file generator
this is a simple extension that lets you generate files from a .yaml config file.
the option appears in the context menu in the toolbar at the top of your screen.
features:
the card field represents which files are to be generated.
*a-b - range of numbers as filenames, e.g. *1-3 results in 1, 2 and 3
a|b|c - pipe-seperated filenames, e.g. foo|bar|baz results in foo, bar and baz
<group> - grouping, e.g. <*1-3>.foo results in 1.foo, 2.foo and 3.foo
all other strings are interpreted as themselves, e.g. foo.bar results in foo.bar
in the text field, there are many preprocessed directives you can enter.
%%path%% - full file path, e.g. c:foo/bar.txt
%%filename%% - full file name, e.g. bar.txt
%%ext%% - file extension, e.g. txt
%%name%% - %%filename%% minus extension, e.g. bar
%%index%% - the zero-index number representing when this file was processed
%%eval {mathjs expression}%% - evaluate maths using mathjs expressions
the path field is just the parent folder. this defaults to the parent directory of the file clicked on in the context menu.
