Folder Notes

Folder Notes allow you to leverage your existing folder structure. You can turn a note into a folder note by adding the following to your frontmatter:

---
BC-folder-note-field: "<field>"
---

Where <field> is one of your Edge Fields. Breadcrumbs will add edges from the current note to all other notes in the same folder, using the field you specify. For example, the following metadata tells Breadcrumbs to point down to all other notes in the current folder:

---
BC-folder-note-field: "down"
---

	1(folder/index) -- down --> 2(folder/A) & 3(folder/B)

BC-folder-note-recurse

By default, Breadcrumbs will only add edges to notes in the immediate folder. If you want to add edges to notes in all subfolders, you can add the BC-folder-note-recurse field to the frontmatter of the folder note.

---
BC-folder-note-field: "down"
BC-folder-note-recurse: true
---

	1(folder/index) -- down --> 2(folder/A) & 3(folder/B) & 4(folder/subfolder/a)

[!IMPORTANT] This doesn’t create nested edges. It effectively flattens your folder structure into one level, so notes in subfolders will still be added as children of the top-level folder note, not as children of the notes in the subfolders.
