Description

Hi -- I love calendar-vim. Two requests:

  1. Would it be possible to specify the filename of the text files? At the moment, they are just the date number (e.g. 19.md) and rely on the directory structure for context. But when searching files outside the directory context, I get a lot of files all named the same thing (19.md, 19.md etc.). Could there be an option for ISO dates for filenames (YYYY-MM-DD)?

  2. Could we also select file extension? My files are markdown, but I prefer a .txt extension rather than .md, because preview handlers handle that better, especially on mobile.

Thanks.

Research direction

Start by tracing how calendar-vim currently constructs calendar filenames and where plugin options are defined. Check whether filename date formatting and the file extension are handled in the same entry point. Done means users can configure ISO-date filenames and choose an extension, with existing behavior preserved when unset.
