[BUG] Incorrect creation / removal of notes and sub-folders when in Experimental Note Tree Mode
Expected behavior
Clicking directory tree node changes application directory context to that directory tree node.
Application should know commands are being directed towards sub-folders if they are selected.
Actual behavior
App directory context only changes when clicking on a note. Nothing happens when clicking on sub-folders, so commands effect the last selected note.
Steps to reproduce
Deletion issue:
- Enable experimental note tree mode
- Select directory node (notice preview panel still has contents of last node)
- Press Del key, last note will be deleted
Note creation issue:
- Enable experimental note tree mode
- Create new sub-folder tree node (notice preview panel still has contents of last node)
- Press CTRL+N, note will be created in the last selected directory, not the new directory

Absolutely love this application! It's been a game-changer for me, so thanks for all your hard work!
I'm a tree-mode user, so am aware that my issue is due to this experimental feature. The application doesn't seem to change which directory / tree node is currently selected unless you click on a note. This makes it easy to delete notes, when you really wanted to delete a directory. Similarly, if you want to create a new note, clicking on the sub-directory doesn't change the directory where the application is currently set, meaning that the newly created note is some other directory you were looking at.
Looks like you are talking about the work in progress feature #790, right? If yes, then it would be the best to deposit your request there... 😉
This issue is stale because it has been open for 30 days with no activity.
Hm, it's not happening all the time that the note is created in the wrong folder. 🤔 But there was another report at #3108.
Maybe this will help, need to test more.
24.9.6
- The accidental note selection when selecting a note subfolder in the experimental
note tree mode was fixed
(for #3072)
- This was also causing the wrong subfolder to be used when a new note was created
There now is a new release, could you please test it and report if it works for you?
