@User > Moving from files to folders will be a significant development effort True, that's why it's good to think this through before LSP. If it's not done along with it, it's probably better to not do it later either. > ...without any immediate change in functionality If this task would be initiated, it would probably be a good idea to think also e.g. should non-markdown files live within the same folders, be part of the lookups etc. This actually would bring additional functionalities to the table from day 1. > if we do switch to folders, is it worth keeping the . syntax at all? Good question, the biggest obstacle might be the conflict resolution. E.g. if there's foo.bar.baz.md and foo/bar/baz.md, which one wins? Personally I'd keep it clear cut and always use '/' as the path separator. This naturally would require migration of the existing data into the new structure (both renaming & copying the files + changing the links). > can you create an issue for this as well and link it to the design docs?
