    What does the "Open Folder" option do? For me it opens a system open dialog, but there is no button to select something. Can I point this at my Obsidian folder and call it a day? If not, is there an easy way to import it?

      (Is there a place to file bugs?)

      If I try to paste some text (this happens to be json), I get: Paste could not be applied here — nothing was changed.

      It seems I can paste regular text, but trying to paste:

      { "mcpServers": { "beauty": { "args": [ "/Applications/Beauty.app/Contents/Resources/mcp/server.cjs", "--endpoint", "/Users/dant/Library/Containers/com.markdown.editor/Data/Library/Application Support/com.markdown.editor/mcp/endpoint.json", "--allow-writes" ], "command": "node" } } }

      doesn't work. (This is the generated mcp config from the app itself, I wanted to see what it generated, and tried to paste it into the app. :) )

        Just a further pointer here, on a new note created:

        This does not paste:

        "/Applications/Beauty.app/Contents/Resources/mcp/server.cjs"

        While this does:

        "/Applications/Beauty.app/Contents/Resources/mcp/server.cjs

        Something looking for matching quotes?

          Thanks for these. I'll look into it! You can message hi [at] peres.pro with any feedback or report. There's a power user group as well if you'd like to try the betas

      Oh.. open folder opens the Notes folder in Finder... :P

        If an app has a menu option that makes a Finder window appear showing the relevant file/folder, I would expect that to be labelled “Show in Finder”.
