Summary
AI summaryUnarchive restores notes to original subfolders, Finder opens correctly, and CLI now supports multiple vaults.
Full changelog
Fixes
- Unarchive returns notes to their original subfolder. Archiving
inbox/demo/Note.mdnow lands atarchive/demo/Note.md, so unarchiving puts it back exactly where it was — instead of dumping it at the inbox top level. Trash → restore round-trips preserve subfolders the same way. Fixed across the desktop app, thezenCLI/MCP server, and the self-hosted server. (Notes archived before this release sit flat inarchive/and will still unarchive to the top level.) - Finder "Open in ZenNotes" no longer opens the quick-capture panel. The hidden quick-capture window could swallow file-opens and deep links after you'd used the capture hotkey; note opens are now routed only to real workspace windows, and the Dock icon reliably brings back a window.
zen openunderstands vault paths. Paths printed byzen list(vault-relative, spaces and all) now open from any directory — quoted or not. Errors name every location that was searched.
New: multiple vaults in the zen CLI
zen vault listshows every vault ZenNotes knows about, with the default marked.- Every command takes
--vault <name|path>to target a specific vault:zen list --vault work,zen capture "idea" --vault personal. Precedence:--vault→ZENNOTES_VAULT→ last-opened vault. Typos fail with the list of known vaults rather than silently using the wrong one. ZENNOTES_CONFIG_DIRoverrides the config directory for scripting.
