Add support for NP folders about alfred_noteplan_actions HOT 5 CLOSED

@ are definitely new with the beta. Eduard recommended to me the other day to start using more folders with v3 to control the notes list (mine is... lengthy) so I expect to see more usage of them.

Wow, I'm not across folders in NotePlan at all as I haven't tried any of the betas. Personally, I'm more into searching/tagging and linking pages together with wiki-links than using hierarchical directory structures, but a lot of people (most?) do work that way.

You're right, it would totally cause any notes nested within a sub-dir to not be picked up by this workflow, but it should be simple enough to load notes recursively with a small change to NotePlan::Base#for_each_note:

def for_each_note(&block)
  Dir.glob("#{notes_directory}/**/*.txt") do |filename|
    yield NotePlan::NoteFile.for(filename)
  end
end

@beet, following my note in the original post on this issue, I believe the glob line will need to be more like:

Dir.glob("#{notes_directory}/{[!@]**/*,*}.txt") do |filename|

This is what I'm using in my own ruby scripts that support NotePlan.

Oh, this is frustrating. I've tried replacing just that one line in (the full 0.7.0 release of) NotePlan::Base with your update and running it again. Now I get exactly the same extensive debug logging that I reported in #14, and it fails to find the extra notes. Ditto with my suggestion amendment.
It feels like there's something that just breaks as soon as I tinker with your release, and so I've reverted. I hope it works better for you.

Dir.glob("#{notes_directory}/**/*.txt") do |filename|

So this works, but it fails on lib/note_plan/note_file.rb:

NotePlan now has special character folders for Archive (@archive) and Trash (@trash).
