Allow moving of folders/subfolders

Open rakekniven opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Expected behaviour

I want to move a subfolder (containing notes) into another folder. I have no move function, just a rename function

Actual behaviour

  1. I have to create the targetfolder in new folder structure with the same name.
  2. I move all notes into the new folder
  3. I delete the original folder

Using v22.8.0

Thank you for your suggestion. Although it would be quite some work to do that including a recursive refactoring of all involved links to other notes, images and attachments.

Ok, understood.

I just thought about this feature and I would really like to see that as well :)

Maybe one could do as OP currently does as a workaround, but show it as "move folder" in GUI? And it would require less rewriting?

  1. Create destination folder with same name as source folder.
  2. Move all notes from source folder to destination folder.
  3. Delete source folder.

It will be a bit more complicated / recursive steps if the folder to move also contains more subfolders.
