I don't feel very comfortable with handling deleted or renamed cards by wiping everything in the target directory besides the notes that are currently in Bear.

However, if there is a "trashed" (deleted) note in Bear, we can probably safely delete the file with the matching file name from the target directory.

You can see the query is currently filtering out all trashed notes here:

If that query were changed to

SELECT ZTITLE AS title, ZTEXT AS text, ZTRASHED AS trashed FROM ZSFNOTE

the following code could either write the file out, or delete any potentially-existing file with that name, based on the trashed value.

It would be useful to me if, instead of dumping all markdown files to the same output directory, they could be output based on tags.

So if a document had the #cool and #fancy/pants tags, the file would be written to both the cool directory, and the pants directory inside the fancy directory.

Documents without a tag could be written either to the root output directory, or an untagged directory. Without having thought about it a lot yet I'm leaning towards untagged.

This feature should probably be enabled by a new argument, maybe --use-tags-as-directories or something. mri could be used for easiness.

The (unreleased) version of this app in the master branch will throw an error if pointed at a directory that does not contain every deleted file that exists in the database.

I noted that the slash replacement was replacing e.g. 23/01/2020 with 23-01/2020.

This article explains why this is the case - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1967119/why-does-javascript-replace-only-first-instance-when-using-replace

The fix appears to be to change the slash replacement to:
const filename = ${ title.replace(/\//g, "-") }.md

Hi, If the document contains images, the conversion will fail and MD will not contain images

I'm getting a lot of errors on installing. Tried to use sudo as well, but it doesn't work. This is on MacOS Catalina 10.15.3. Any pointers?
