"Auto-add geolocations" suggestion. #393

First of all, thank you so much for automating the geolocation.

Here's an issue I'm experiencing.

There might be an additional setting that I'm missing, but as far as I can tell, if I turn on the Auto-add geolocations to an empty location property option, that will add the current position to any note I open. Even older ones that were created somewhere else. I know that it will only do that if the location property is present, but there are situations when this is the case. For example:

  • When using a Yarle template to import notes from Evernote, one has to include properties for all the metadata they would like to import, and not all Evernote notes have a geolocation. So, many notes will end up with no value in location.
  • When using a template in Obsidian to create notes, some people have all the potential properties they might need in the future. In my case, location is one of them. So, I have many notes with no value in location.

For now, I have the Auto-add geolocations option off, and I'm using the toolbar option to manually include the coordinates. But it would be nice to have it auto-added to new notes.

My suggestion is to either change the behavior to new notes only or include an additional option to set it to new notes only.

Thank you for this incredible plugin. I love it!
