Folder/note issues

Hi, I came across a couple issues when managing folders and notes:

  1. After adding a new folder it becomes "active"; but then immediately adding a new note becomes a sibling, not a child. I had expected it to be added as a child of the new folder.
  2. [*]I'm unable to move a folder in the tree below another folder; it becomes a child instead. I can use cut/paste if the folders are closed, but I expected to be able to move it with drag/drop.
Thanks,

  • Here is the concept - if selected folder is expanded, new item (folder or note) created after it will be inserted as a child of it; and when it's collapsed, a new item will be inserted at a same level (a sibling).

    Drag&drop works too, just pay attention what's X coordinate of the mouse. If you move it too far to the right (after parent’s triangle), it will become a child of it, an arrow indicator will indicate it during drag&drop. So just keep your mouse a little bit to the left-hand side to create a sibling.

That makes sense now, however I would expect that when I create a new folder it would be expanded by default. ie. if I'm creating a new folder, it's likely my next step would be to create a note in that folder.
