Notebook inside a hidden directory not working

[ametis70]

I started using zk today on Linux with:

zk init "$HOME/.notes"
export ZK_NOTEBOOK_DIR="$HOME/.notes"

and then I created some notes with new and edit --interactive. After that, I found out that the list and edit commands couldn't find any note, even if the files were created correctly. I also tried with index without success.

After that, I moved the $HOME/.notes directory to $HOME/Documents/Notes and the commands now work correctly, so I believe there's a problem with the notebook being in a hidden directory

By design, hidden files and directories are ignored from the zk index. Looks like this filter applies to the root notebook directory as well.

Until this is fixed, you can nest your notebook inside a hidden directory, e.g. ~/.notes/notebook.

Alright, thanks!

@ametis70 good to go :) Hope you're still using zk!
