Usage

• Cook:Execute target command(e.g. Move/Copy, Delete ...)
• Confirm:Confirm execution

Select

Support 3 selects ways：

• Copy file links to clipboard. e.g. Copy obsidian search results
• Content or links in current file
• Dataview search command/DataviewJS pages queries(New in v1.7.1)

Bases query file operations (New in v2.0.0)

When the Bases data source is available, File Cooker provides a full Bases command group aligned with Dataview file commands:

• Move bases query results to ...
• Sync bases query results to flomo ...
• Merge bases query results to ...
• Delete bases query results!
• Copy bases result links!
• Edit Properties in bases results ...
• Rename in bases results ...
• Add bases query results to canvas...
• Add bases task to canvas...

Behavior boundaries:

• File-only mapping: only rows that can be mapped to real vault files are processed.
• Ignore non-file rows: unmapped rows are skipped, and a notice reports the ignored count.
• No row writes: File Cooker does not modify Bases row fields in this flow.

Cook

Depends on the different way to select, execute a different command.Ensure:

• Copy before executing deal-with-clipboard command.
• Open file before executing deal-with-current-file command.
• Selected Dataview-Command before executing deal-with-dataview command

Confirm

All commands open a popup to be confirmed.

Context menu entry (New)

File Cooker now also adds context-menu entries in two places:

• Editor context menu
  • File Cooker > Selection: sync selected text to flomo / add selection to canvas (only available when selection is not empty)
  • File Cooker > Current file links: run link-based operations from the current file
• File explorer context menu
  • File Cooker > Target file: run single-file operations on the file you right-clicked

Notes:

• Destructive actions (like delete) still require confirmation.
• If no active file exists, current-file-link operations are safely blocked with a notice.
