template-generator-vscode's Issues

Can't create file from template in a folder

I am currently unable to create a folder in a subdirectory.
When I use the "create file from template" action, and specify a name like "danny_labnotes/2018-01-10", this value is considered an error and is not accepted.

Providing just the name "2018-01-10" is ok though.

Unable to use templateGenerator.templatesPath successfully

Whenever I try to use templateGenerator.templatesPath I get a permission denied error or file does not exist. I've tried the following, plus many more.

"templateGenerator.templatesPath": "${workspaceFolder}/templates"
"templateGenerator.templatesPath": "./templates"
"templateGenerator.templatesPath": "/templates"
"templateGenerator.templatesPath": "~/.vscode/templates"
"templateGenerator.templatesPath": ".vscode/templates"
"templateGenerator.templatesPath": "~/.vscode/templatess"
"templateGenerator.templatesPath": "~/templates"

I've created a templates dir in the proper location where these should work, but I continue to get errors. If I leave this options empty everything works as expected. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is this a issue?

VS Code Version 1.23.1 (1.23.1)

On a side note, this is a great extension and thanks for creating it.

Add upper camel case custom field __UpperCamelCaseName__

I need upper camel case class name for react component templates. Can you add this option ?

How to change date format?

can i change date format to 24H?

Generate templates with case

Hello,

It is not possible to generate template with different cases sensitivity.
It is actually really useful for example with NextJs where pages have to be lowcase and components should be camelCase by convention.

Why not use some {__name__}, {__NAME__} and {__Name__} to be replaced in the correct case ?

Thanks a lot.

How to use it

I have installed the extension but have no idea how to make it work.

I do ctrl P the type Files: and I get no command found.

Thank you
