Thanks, looks very interesting. Does some of what I need, but I differ in some design choices: - I prefer the incremental search scheme a-la-deft instead of dired. - I also do not care for file names and prefer to have editable titles / summaries. - A reason for this is that I care about linking and backlinking notes. Fixing file name <-> title association makes the database static and difficult to edit. - I am also into having multiple folders for separating big categories and areas of interest (hence the recursive approach). - I also would like to attach multimedia / PDF's / images to the notes as linked or embedded assets. This is easy if directories are allowed and files filtered by extension.
