Add the ability to view a list of all nested notes from the root notepad

Unfortunately, Joplin does not allow us to view a list of all notes from the root notebook or even from a notebook that has nested notebooks. We need to go to the very end notepad to see the notes that belong to it.

Maybe there is some kind of plugin for displaying. Please share the information.

The notebook: search filter includes notes in nested notebooks. Use it with the search bar, Goto Anything (Ctrl+P), and/or plugins.

For example: install the Note Overview plugin on desktop. Then, add the below to a new note, replacing name with the desired notebook name:

<!-- note-overview-plugin
search: notebook:"name"
fields: title
listview:
  text: "{{title}}"
-->

Generate the list with Tools > Update note overview. It can be viewed on desktop or mobile. The desktop plugin can also generate and update the list at regular intervals.

If you need more customization, visit the above link.

I did but I don't have: Tools > Update note overview. Whats wrong?

If your desktop menu bar is hidden, press Alt to show it temporarily, or Ctrl+Shift+M to toggle it. Otherwise, I wouldn't know why you don't see that option without more info.

However, with the plugin's 5 minute default update interval, it should have generated your list by now.

I fully support the your suggestion and hope joplin supports viewing nested notes.

My test was successful

Now there is a mistake, I dont know why. I did everything follow your instructions.

Oh, now it works. Thank you!

But I would like the developers to include this functionality in the program. To make it like in Evernote.

I found this related post: Request: add an option for show/hide sub notebook notes

The Github issue linked there has comments describing what you're looking for. However, the implemented fix doesn't cover that.

I can't find any other related posts or issues.
