AliasRedirects not working when files are moved into folders

[vinceimbat]

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

Aliases in the YAML frontmatter seem to stop working when files are moved into folders.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a file in the content folder.
2. Add an alias to the file.
3. (Alias redirect works.)
4. Create a subfolder in the content folder (e.g., content/thoughts).
5. Move the file into this subfolder.
6. (Alias redirect fails and produces 404.)

Expected behavior
Alias redirect should work properly when moving files in folders.

Alias redirects are relative to the full path, I use nested aliases in my own content and it works fine. Note that aliases are relative to the note and not absolute

I want to use aliases but I don't understand how should I write them.

Alias redirects are relative to the full path, I use nested aliases in my own content and it works fine. Note that aliases are relative to the note and not absolute

How do I use nested aliases? I tried setting an alias like /folder/note, folder/note and ../folder/note but none of them worked, I'm misunderstanding something?

Update: I've realized how is it supposed to work, the alias is relative to the note, so if you want to redirect from /folder/subfolder1/note to /folder/subfolder2/note the alias should be ../subfolder1/note but it will be explititly as is, it doesn't convert spaces into dashes so if you want to redirect because of a changed name dont write it like my note, write it like my-note instead.
I recommend copying from the url and then pasting it as the alias (correcting the relative path if you moved it into another folder of course)
