How to set the journal filename (`.md`) with `-` not `_`?

from journals/2023_06_30.md to journals/2023-06-30.md

its set in config.edn. Pay attention to the warning.

Bad3r/Logseq/blob/master/src/resources/templates/config.edn#L31-L37


      
          ;; Specify the journal filename format using a valid date format string.
          ;; !Warning:
          ;;   This configuration is not retroactive and affects only new journals.
          ;;   To show old journal files in the app, manually rename the files in the
          ;;   journal directory to match the new format.
          ;; Default value: "yyyy_MM_dd"
          ;; :journal/file-name-format "yyyy_MM_dd"

Great, thanks

@Bader would it be possible to change the name of the page files, _ for -?

yes replace the underscore with a dash.

-- ;; :journal/file-name-format "yyyy_MM_dd"
++ :journal/file-name-format "yyyy-MM-dd"

Ok, that’s in the journal, how do I make the pages?

from:
pages/Thiago Avelino.md

to:
pages/thiago-avelino.md

not a supported usecase

is this still the case? I would like to get underscores and lowercase characters in the filenames by default, instead of whitespaces and inconsistent uppercase letters, respectively.

no support, as @Bader commented

My LogSeq is saving files with 2024_10_18 instead of 2024-10-18 which I have set in the settings as well as in the config.edn. It still resists to use the set date format for journals.

Does anyone know where else I can adjust these settings?
Does anyone experience the same issue?
Could it be that it’s associated with the new macOS Sequoia?
