Allow for Note to be detached from Folder again

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Hi there,

First of all: Thanks for making this plugin! My workflow consists of relating notes in a hierarchy and your plugin is great help in doing that.

This means that a note might receive a sub-note or might loose it. For adding a sub-note to a note, I need to

  1. create a folder next to the note with the same name
  2. move the note into that folder
  3. add more notes in that folder

A bit cumbersome, but it works.

For reversing that process, I need to

  1. move out all sub-notes
  2. open the folder-note and lift that a level
  3. delete the folder

It would be great if there was an action to do that more automatically! I could imagine more people wanting something similar.

Even greater it would be if Notes appear as targets when I choose to move a file.

For your first action, you can right-click the note and select "Create folder note", then it will be done.

For second action, maybe we need a new function to "Convert folder into a note" in the right-click menu.

And if choose to store folder notes in the parent directory, you only need to delete a empty folder without moving the folder note.
