Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote-App/issues/525

Actual behavior:

Folder displays its items and also its sub-folder's items.
I created 'Note of sub' in 'sub' folder. When I select 'folder' (parent of 'sub'), it displays its own notes ('note of folder') and its subfolder's ('note of sub'). If I delete the 'note of sub' here in 'folder', it's also deleted from 'sub' folder.

Expected behavior:

Folder only displays its own items

Is it an intentional feature design in Boost Note?

This is by design. To achieve your preferred method you can do the following:

Make a subfolder (in this case @root) and use that for the notes that were originally in the main folder. That way you only see the notes from the root folder while selecting that subfolder. Note that it doesn't need to start with @, I only chose this to make sure it is always at the top.
