[Help] Is it possible to use absolute paths when running ZkNotes with the option hrefs?

How can we help you?

Is there a way to run :ZkNew with results filtered to include only those in a given absolute path? The option hrefs works for me when I want a relative path. For instance, running

:ZkNotes { hrefs = {'fleeting'}}

from the root directory of my notebook at ~/Notebook shows me the notes in the subdirectory ~/Notebook/fleeting. However, suppose I initially have a file ~/Notebook/permanent/note.md open in Neovim. Then running the command above looks for notes in ~/Notebook/permanent/fleeting.

I could use a relative path and run

:ZkNotes { hrefs = {'../fleeting'}}

but ultimately I am interested in having a keybinding which looks for notes in ~/Notebook/fleeting regardless of where I start out.

Providing an absolute path as with

:ZkNotes { hrefs = {'~/Notebook/fleeting'}}

just shows all the notes in my Notebook.

I really appreciate any help on this. I have been finding zk-nvim to be an excellent tool which is increasingly becoming an essential part of my work flow.

Hey there. :ZkNotes calls the pick_notes() function, which always queries from notebook root. It is not dependant on where you are when you execute.

So, the behaviour you're looking for is already possible.

Given the following tree:

.
├── bo4m.md
├── foo
│   ├── bar
│   │   └── ao96.md
│   └── keiv.md

no matter where you are in your notebook:
ZkNotes { hrefs = {"foo"}} : returns ao96.md and keiv.md
ZkNotes { hrefs = {"foo/bar"}} : returns ao96.md only

Thanks @tjex. Things seem to be working as expected now. I am not sure what what was going on before but it must have been an error on my end.
