Currently Obsidian puts all new folders created by clicking on the “New Folder” icon into the root of the vault.
It would be nice if it would follow the “Default location for new notes” setting. Which would work elegantly with: Manually Choose to Create New File in Root folder or Current Folder & Hotkey for “Create New Folder”
I understand I can arbitrarily put them wherever I want by context clicking on where I want them to go & choosing “New Folder” from the context menu.
