Hi Tim !

Hope you're doing great ! I can tell you're doing very well so far on your Poznote app.
Using it as soon as possible and your improvments are tremendous ! SO thanl you again for being so (re)active on Demands or Questions we've got. I hope I coul'd say the same on every professional projet I'm on....

Create a Folder (and Workspace) Directly from the "Move Note" Dialog

Context

The Move Note dialog in Poznote currently allows users to select a destination workspace and choose from a list of recent folders or preexisting folders. This works well for the most common use cases and provides a fast workflow when the destination folder already exists.

However, when the target folder does not yet exist, the workflow is interrupted. Users must leave the current action to create the folder (or even a new workspace), then restart the entire move operation.

This context switch introduces unnecessary friction for what is otherwise a common organizational task, especially when creating new projects or restructuring knowledge.

Many modern knowledge management applications now allow users to create missing destinations directly from move dialogs, preserving workflow continuity and minimizing context switching.

Proposal

Enhance the Move Note dialog so that users can complete the entire move operation without leaving the current workflow.

The proposed improvements are:

• Add a Create Folder action directly within the Move Note dialog.
• Add a Create Workspace action when the desired workspace does not yet exist.
• Automatically select the newly created folder or workspace as the destination so the move operation can be completed immediately.

Additionally, it may be worth reconsidering how destination folders are selected:

• Keep the current Recent Folders list for quick access to frequently used locations.
• Optionally provide access to the complete folder hierarchy (through a folder browser or search), allowing users to move notes to any existing folder rather than being limited to recently used ones.

This approach would preserve the speed of the current workflow while eliminating its main limitation.

Expected Benefits

This enhancement would make moving notes a seamless, end-to-end operation without interrupting the user's workflow.

Expected benefits include:

• Eliminating unnecessary back-and-forth between creating folders and moving notes.
• Reducing the number of clicks and repetitive actions.
• Improving the efficiency of organizing notes and creating new project structures.
• Providing a smoother and more intuitive user experience.
• Aligning Poznote with the usability standards of modern note-taking and knowledge management applications.

Overall, this feature would provide a meaningful time-saving improvement, reduce friction during note organization, and make the application significantly more efficient for users managing evolving knowledge structures.

Feature Request: Allow users to create a new folder and a new workspace directly from the Move Note dialog, automatically selecting the newly created destination. Additionally, consider providing access to the complete folder hierarchy alongside recent folders to enable a fully seamless note-moving experience.
