What issue do you have?
Even after trying various views/zoom my list of notebooks is cut in half vertically, to leave space for the text on the left. Even toggling various views of the text, the notebook list is always cut in half, so that it is impossible to read the full title of the notebooks.
Even clicking on a notebook, I can see the notes inside, but the full name of the notebook is not shown. The only way to see the full name of the notebook is to try to rename it
Even making a search, the search is done on the notes, but not on the notebooks.
Obviously the notebooks are more important than the contained notes the same way that states are more important than the towns and towns are more important than the villages.
So I wonders why I cannot get my Joplin working properly and everything is reversed
Hey, can you provide a screenshot of the issue?
As @graphit0 says, a screen grab would be helpful to see exactly what your problem is.
However if I have understood what you have said so far, you can use View > Change application layout to put the Notebook and Note lists in the same column to let you make the column wider.
Or you can install the Note Tabs plugin, enable "breadcrumbs" and use the advanced settings to significantly increase the "Maximum breadcrumb width (px)". You use View > Change application layout to position the Note Tab pane above the editor where it will show the name of the notebook (and any sub-notebook) the displayed note is in.
Breadcrumb first level notebook
Breadcrumb sub-notebook
Change application layout worked very well to fix my problem, many thanks, my friend.
I'm using Joplin all the time since at least 10 years and I do not even knew that there are plugins, many thanks. I'll have a look.
And regarding the search that only looks for notes and not for notebooks, is there a fix as well?
Searches for notes within specific notebooks are prefixed by the term notebook:
If I have two notebooks, book01 and book02, and search for notebook:book01 I will be presented with all the notes in book01. If I search notebook:book* I will be presented with all the notes in both notebooks and any other notebook with a name that starts book.
If I want to see the notes only in book02 that contain the word "spanner" then I would use notebook:book02 spanner.
If I just want to see a list of notebooks that contain the word "book" I can use the "Goto anything" search (Go > Goto anything or default shortcut CTRL+P) and type @book.
Searching and search filters are explained on the web-site help page here.
