File Selector Modal

When commands open the file selector (Add folder, Move folder, etc.):

  • Fuzzy search — type to filter notes by name or title
  • Path breadcrumbs — each result shows its location in the virtual hierarchy
  • Smart sorting — recently used folders appear first
  • Exclusion — notes that would create circular references are automatically excluded

Property Selector Modal

When a command needs you to choose a parent link (Move folder, Delete folder):

  • If the note has no parent links, a notice is shown
  • If the note has one parent link, it is selected automatically
  • If the note has multiple parent links, a selector modal appears
