Description
Checks
- I confirm I have restarted NotePlan and this problem still persists.
- I confirm I have reinstalled the Plugin and this problem still persists.
- Is this a repeatable problem?
System
- Device OS: macOS 15.5 (24F74)
- NotePlan Version 3.17.2 (1385)
- Plugin Name & Version: Filer v1.2.0
Describe the bug
When I /create new note from selection, the location chooser pops up. If I then start typing e.g. init to find my Initial Assessments folders (I do a lot of these!) then they all appear, but with no context to where they live.
Instead I would like some kind of trail, e.g. prefix in small grey after the name, or at least something to identify which one I want!
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Create multiple folders with the same name in various places
- Select some text, hit Cmd-J, choose
Filer: /new note from selection - In the folder chooser, type the first few letters of the common folder name
- See error
