Handle drafts

[robinmetral]

Hi,

First off, thanks for the AMAZING utility!

One small thing I've noticed is that if there are drafts in the XML export and prefixdate is set as true, the generated markdown files are named something like Invalid DateTime-my-blog-post.md (because drafts don't have a date by definition).

Maybe we could look into taking another flag to include (or not) drafts, and name any draft posts draft-my-blog-post.md as a fallback for the lack of date.

What do you think?

Ah, good catch!

This probably affects other options like --yearfolders and --yearmonthfolders that need a date component. I don't think using "draft" will work there.

Maybe we could go with Jekyll's approach? Bottom of this page: https://jekyllrb.com/docs/posts/

Ah nice, yes I think a draft directory should work! draft could also be included in the filename for people opting for a more "flat" export with --postfolders=false --prefixdate=true 🙂

I would prefer drafts to be contained in a completely separate hierarchy so I don't need to load them when searching published posts.

That's news to me! Mine were entirely missing. I do not use prefixdate however.

What's the status on this change? Would you like some help adding support for drafts?
