Moving a File via File Explorer Doesn't Update its Path in the Backend

[Skirdes]

Steps to reproduce

(see https://youtu.be/nZv63LX7lpE)

• Set Settings > Files and Links > Default location for new notes to Same folder as current file.
• Create a folder folder.
• Create a note note outside folder and open it.
• Put note into folder by dragging it with the mouse in the file explorer.
• Create a new file note2 with Ctrl+O => Name => Shift+Enter.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? Y

Expected result

The new note note2 is created inside folder.

Actual result

Additional information

• see https://youtu.be/nZv63LX7lpE (same as above)
• This bug is similar to Creating Files with Paths with Wrong Capitals Cracks Folder-Creating Functionalities - #2 by WhiteNoise but doesn’t have any renaming conditions. I think it’s better to prioritize the bug I’ve reported here first because this bug could irritate when trying to fix the other.

The title of this BR is a little confusing.

Anyway, this is not a bug. In your youtube video, the second time the file was created in the vault’s root because the note’s tab was not in focus. You had the focus on file explorer.
