What’s new

- Actions you can see: every note, folder and category now has a ⋮ menu with Edit, Archive and Delete. Until now they lived only on a swipe across the row — if you never found the gesture, a folder could not be deleted at all.
- Deleting a folder now takes its subfolders to the trash too, and the confirmation says how many folders and notes are affected. Notes are always kept.
- A folder or category name that is already taken is now reported instead of silently doing nothing.
