Default Folder Location

You can now set a default folder where all new notes are created. This is configured per-workspace in Settings > Files

How it works

Scenario	Where the note is created
No default folder set, no folder selected in sidebar	Workspace root
No default folder set, folder selected in sidebar	The selected folder
No default folder set, current note tab is inside a folder	The selected folder
Default folder set, no folder selected	The default folder
Default folder set, folder selected in sidebar	The default folder (overrides selection)
Default folder cleared (set back to Root)	Behaves as if no default is set (cases 1 & 2)

Key details

• Cmd+N always creates notes in the default folder when one is set, regardless of what's selected in the sidebar.
• The "New Note" button tooltip updates to reflect where the note will be created.
• Dot-folders (e.g. .hidden) are excluded from the folder picker.
• The setting can be cleared with the Clear button to revert to the default behavior.
