Specify preferred document order to render

[hectormz]

Description

I mostly use .ipynb files to generate blog posts, but occasionally use .qmd files for simpler posts. At the moment I sync .ipynb files to .qmd (or .py) files with jupytext for version control (or using .qmd features with RStudio).

If these files are in the same folder, I'd like to specify that quarto should prefer .ipynb files over .qmd files when available. Alternatively, I have been able to separate the file types in different sub folders and put an underscore in front of the .qmd filder so it gets ignored. But I don't like having to add an additional folder name blob to the blog post's url.

See #6518 especially:

• Control order of rendering #6944

PS: could you search a bit before posting? Thank you.

Thanks. I think this is different than #6944. I don't want to render all documents in a folder and choose the order they render. Rather, if a folder has a .ipynb only render that (and ignore any .qmd). If a folder only has a .qmd, render it.

Prefix the file with _ then or define the render targets, see https://quarto.org/docs/websites/index.html#render-targets.
The behaviour you want is specific to you as many users use both type of files, what you are asking is never going to be implemented.

Understood, thanks @mcanouil . I appreciate you fielding my issues and questions. I'll close this now
