So I think the correct approach here is to run code at the start to list all of the folders (no need to do fancy recursion though, just a flat list with the parent containers is enough) and create a model of that hierarchy in SQLite.
Then when I import notes I can foreign key reference them back to their containing folder.
I'm tempted to use `rowid` for the foreign keys because the official IDs are pretty long.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1617769847,Folder support,
