@arcturus140
I think you can just drag and drop note to folders in different storage. How do you think we can improve this?

Also @pfftdammitchris submit https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote.next/pull/348. How do you think about this?
FYI, the reason why I close the issue is the storage name is just for navigation not for changing storage.

Clicking on the storage does not only select all notes, it provides navigation:

boostnotenext

This is important and we should keep this.

You can use drag & drop to relocate a note but this solution does not scale well, as you can only do this with so many folders effortlessly. Some suggestions for #348:

  • add a text input field to filter folders
  • keep the current note in scope so it does not "disappear" when you move it
  • change location with double click on the path

I noted that notes can be created in a storage location: / Local. With drag & drop there is currently no way to move a note from a folder: / Local / Private into a storage location: / Local. Drag & drop needs improvement, too.

perhaps right click on a note in the list of notes (middle column) with a menu entry move to folder... is more intuitive? This could be used to select and move multiple notes as well.

In the current cloud app, you can move documents from folder page or side navigator via drag and drop
