Hi! Thank you for this proposal and initial implementation.

While I agree with the original idea and the need/use of an inbox folder, but I am not really sold on the implementation proposed here. The way you set it up, it becomes a bit more involved to create proper zettel notes, which is not ideal.

In my opinion, it would be better to create a wrapper for the CreateNote function (let's call that new_inbox) that would

  1. Load an inbox template if any
  2. Place the note in the appropriate folder
  3. Use the convention YYYYMMDDTHHmmSS-Title for the name of the inbox notes

Then the user can decide to create a mapping for this function. What do you think?

Great feedback, I will look into it.
