deleting files
Hi thanks for the plugin. It brings Joplin closer to being interoperable with other programs that use markdown.
I did not realize at that this would result in the deletion of the files! 🙀 Though on closer attention, this is mentioned in the readme. Luckily none of the target files had been updated since last backup. :)
So I'd suggest at minimum: make the deletion feature more obvious. Like display a confirmation dialogue on first use maybe? If not, at least an "❗" is in order.
It would also be cool to be able to not delete the file (duplicate of #14?) tho I guess that could bring in some complexities wrt duplication especially if an existing file is modified. (Really what I want is to be able to run Joplin out of a folder of markdown files lol.)
Maybe another option would be to move the file to a temporary waiting area for a little while in case they require rescuing from a careless person like me or incorrect import. Of course the OS generally includes this kind of feature in the form of Trash or Recycle Bin. Unfortunately on Mac OS there is no "move to trash" command included out of the box. Here is a thread with a bunch of tools and workarounds, I have no idea if any of them would be of service here unfortunately.
