[BUG] Move tagged notes macro doesn't display folder picker

[jacklaing]

The macro for moving tagged notes to a folder is broken because once you've selected Yes/No on nested tags, the folder chooser just doesn't appear.

Additional context
I thought it might be because I had turned off the File Explorer core plugin, which has the Move Note hotkey bundled, but I tried turning it back on and it didn't fix it.

Hey @jacklaing, thanks for your report!

I'm having a hard time reproducing this.
Does it give any errors? Maybe in the console?

Hi! Looks like I have similar issue. I can send you errors from my console log

I tried to run this macro inside default Obsidian Help vault and it worked out properly. So, I decided to switch off all community plugins on my vault and tried again, but problem is the same, doesn't work.

[twakas]

In my case, tag descriptions in YAML frontmatter like:

tags: [tag1, tag2]

or

tags:
- tag1

caused the same problem.
Worked properly after removing the above types of tags inside my vault.

[jacklaing]

I can confirm all of the above:

• It worked in Help vault
• I got the exact same console error as @arumazu
• As with @twakas case, it was frontmatter of the format tags: [] that was causing the issue. Once I deleted the offending frontmatter the folder picker appeared properly. Luckily I don't use frontmatter and it was just an example page.

I was trying the plugin just now, initially the picker didn't work, but after a reload, it did.

So everything works for me now.
Just for everyone's information (I was maybe dumbo)

Copy the code using the button only :D Else it adds some spaces here and there. Messes up the code and adds additional spaces to the new file path.

Hi, I am having the same issue. How did you manage to transform your frontmatter tags to inline tags in you whole vault ? I've tried to find a way with Regex and VSC but without sucess...

I was also wondering if it would be possible to modify the js script to make it work with frontmatter tags ?

Update on this? still the same for me

I also have hit the same issue myself.
