Filer: Quick Move Not Moving Multiple Tasks #670

Description

@chris-arbor

Checks

  • I confirm I have restarted NotePlan and this problem still persists.
  • I confirm I have reinstalled the Plugin and this problem still persists.
  • Is this a repeatable problem?

System

  • Device OS: macOS 15.6
  • NotePlan Version: 3.17.3 (1387)
  • Plugin Name & Version: Filer v1.2.0

Describe the bug
When using the /quick move commands with a block of text highlighted, only the top line/task is moved.

What do you expect it to do instead?
According to the docs, it looks like it should move everything that is highlighted.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Highlight multiple tasks.
  2. Invoke the /quick move to Weekly note command.
  3. See that only the first/top task has moved.

Screenshots
Here's a screen recording showing the behavior:

Plugin Console Log
To provide us with more clues about where the bug/error is occurring...

  1. Open the Plugin's Preferences by going to NotePlan's menu > Preferences > Plugins and clicking the settings "cog" icon next to the plugin in question. Scroll to the bottom and set the logging level to "DEBUG" and click "Save & Close"
  2. Now open the Plugin Console by going to Noteplan > Help > Plugin Console (not the macOS Console app).
  3. Run the plugin command you're reporting
  4. Copy the output from the Plugin Console and paste it below
