Directories

Configure directories for new transcript files:

  1. Go to Settings → YouTube Transcript Settings
  2. Add directories to "Saved directories" (e.g., Transcripts or Notes/YouTube)
  3. If you have multiple saved directories, you can designate one as the "Default directory"
  4. When creating new files:
    • If a default directory is set, files will be created there (even if no document is open)
    • If no default directory is set, files will be created in the current file's directory
  5. The default directory is automatically pre-selected in the modal dropdown
  6. You can override the directory per-transcript using the modal options

Note: Setting a default directory allows you to use the clipboard command even when no document is open, as the plugin knows where to create the file.
