Hey Mark, just wanted to let you know the update today is working well with both the file extension change and sub folders (non @archive and @trash folders). Thanks for the update!!!

Once I figured out that the base_directory automatically prepends ~, this is working.

However, I'm finding that some of the notes returned from the t action are from the @Trash folder. But oddly, it doesn't return all items in the @Trash. I'd prefer to see @Trash ignored -- it is trash after all -- but the @Archive included. But either way it would be good if the relative path was included in the second line shown on the search results. So not just showing filename.md but folder\filename.md. This would allow me more easily to tell what is in archive, trash, and which sub-folder. I can raise this latter point as a separate issue, or you could rename this issue ;-)

I'm also finding the j action is producing a new file each time, not updating/over-writing the existing one. Is this intended?

@jgclark - my experience (since the beginning) is that the journal summary always creates a new file.

Sorry again, I have no idea why I never see notifications from Github issues.

Excluding trash is a good idea.

The journal summary does create a new file each time, because there's no x-callback-url for updating notes.

Maybe it would be better to just copy the contents to the clipboard instead of creating a new note?

There's the ability to append, but that's less than ideal unless you're tracking Journal Summary changes since last run. I'll talk to Eduard about a feature request to support note updating via x-callback if possible. Folder support is also lacking from x-callback so this area of NP3 could use some revision.
