Folder hierachy
By default all notes are in a flat list, but AlephNote also support sorting notes into folders and subfolders. There are two distinct ways to do this:
If you used note provider supports hierarchical notes (eg No-Remote, Filesystem or NextcloudNotes) you can simply enable the option "Enable hierachical note structure" under Settings -> Other. Do not enable "Emulate directories in note title".
After this you will see a new control over the notes list where all you folders are display. You can add or remove folder by right-clicking. Also you can see/change the current path of a note below its title on teh right side of the window:
If your note provider does not support subfolders by its own (eg SimpleNote or StandardNotes) you can "emulate" this feature by encoding the path together with the title in the note title.
To do this enable the option "hierachical note structure" (same as previous chapter) and the option "Emulate directories in note title". Also you need to choose a separator character, it should be one that is normally not used in your titles - I would recommend to keep the default value (forward slash).
While you work in AlephNote ou won't see any of the "emulation"-part and everything handles the same as in the real folder mode. But if you access your notes with another program (or the web interface) you will see the full path as the note title.
This modus influences a few other features:
- If you use the git backup feature the notes in the repository will be put into sub folders.
- If you use the local folder synchronization the notes will also be put in the matching sub folders.
