Currently, the default behavior when creating a new doc from within an existing one in Paper 2020 is to save the new doc in the root folder. To save it in the same folder as the doc from which it was created required a second, explicit step. This complicated using Paper to create a knowledge base for a team that is working in a shared folder. A better default behavior would be to create new docs in the same folder as the original doc from which they were created. Thanks for listening.

This behavior drives me crazy. I use folders in Paper to organize my work. I want to be able to use the shortcut of linking to/creating a new document from within a document (using + then typing the new document name), but if I do, then I need to go remember to move that document into the right folder. So frustrating! Or I have to go navigate to the folder and create a document from there. Then I need to go back to the original document and add the link to the new document. Either way, it's inefficient, and if I make use of the + shortcut to add a link to the new document in the existing document, then there's a good chance I will forget later to move that document to the right folder. This breaks my workflow.
I can't even imagine why you'd want the default behavior to be that the new document is unfiled vs in the folder you're in when you create it this way, but if you are actually really worried about users preferring the current behavior, you could make it an option. If I was able to set this on a per-folder basis or even per-user so it was always true for *me*, I'd be fine with that, as long as I could get this functionality.The +NewDocumentName shortcut of creating a new document is such a brilliant time saver in Paper. It feels like not putting that new document in the same folder as the original is an oversight, not a feature, because it significantly hampers use of the feature.

Hey icrosby, just dropping in with a small update!
You can do this by clicking the "+ Create new" option in the left panel whilst working on a doc within an existing folder.
You'll have the option to create a new doc or folder within the current folder you're in.
Thanks for sharing your idea!
