Notes

This extension has only been tested in Windows. It should work in Mac and Linux as well. If you have issues setting the default vault and note under Mac or Linux please let me know. If this does happen with the built in command to set the defaults you can just set them from the extensions settings.

View the Readme file found at both of the links provided at the top of this page for more details.
