Hello,

I am trying to configure newsboat so as to save a selected item in a
custom folder using the feed as folder name and the title as filename
and '.md' as file extension.

Upon searching examples, I tried including the following line in the
config file:

save-path
"/home/fredy/MisDocumentos/Obsidian_Vault/newsboat_items/%n/%T.md"

However upon restarting newsboat the changes seems not to be applied,
with the default behaviour (.txt file) being applied.

I am using zsh as shell,

Thank you very much in advance for any hint on how to make the expected
behavior work,

regards

Alfredo

I don't think you can do that. save-path does not support identifiers such as
%T and it always saves articles as plain text files.
