First character of file path cut off in command palette if no templates folder set

[Nostromos]

Plugin information (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOS 14.6.1
• Templater version: 2.4.1
• Obsidian version: 1.6.7
• Templater settings: Vanilla

Describe the bug
When I use any templater command palette option, the first character of every template entry is cut off IF no template folder location is configured. It's not a serious bug but it is kinda annoying. See attached.

Expected behavior
Full pathnames with no missing characters.

Screenshots

Additional context
I have a pretty vanilla install of Obsidian - I'm really new to it. No custom themes and the only setting I've changed for anything is viewing properties as source.

I'll probably dig into this and put in a PR if this isn't touched by next week.

I'm guessing it was caused by this recent PR #1418

They were likely testing with Templater settings that had a template folder path that didn't end with a /, and your template folder path probably does end with a /. The code probably needs to be updated to handle both cases.

[Nostromos]

Gah great point. I should have looked at recent PRs. If it's a matter of file paths, seems an easy enough fix and I've been itching to contribute anywhere that'll have me.

Mind if I take a swing? Might take me a day or two.

Absolutely, will definitely accept a PR to fix this when you find time, thanks!

I have no idea if this would be useful in any way 😇 , but just in case: This bug is also reproducible with one fresh install of Templater (i.e.: without even opening Templater's settings after enabling it) and then clicking on Templater's icon in the ribbon to trigger the template selection modal.

(Seen in the Sandbox Vault of Obsidian 1.7.1 (Installer 1.6.7) + Templater 2.6.0)

Hey, I just want to throw this out there, that this can easily be fixed by just checking to see if the path is empty before removing the length of the path (plus one) from the beginning of the string. I can easily fix it, but I know that @Nostromos requested to be the contributor, so I'm letting you know this so that maybe he can consider it in his Pull request?

Or if you're too busy Nostromos, I could take a stab.

@I-Pch Yes, I believe this is probably because on a newly installed vault, the template folder is empty, so it's basically the same problem.

[Nostromos]

@Erallie All you! I had kid stuff pop up and interviews and never got around to it.

[Erallie]

I created pull request #1454 to fix this.
