What issue do you have?

Hello there,

In order to keep different tag system of different app integrating with each other while some of the apps (Tabbles, MLO…) has a system-limit/structured-limit for tag amount, I need to know how many tags that I have in Joplin, so that I can govern tag related issue with appropriate tag-structure design. So, where and how do I get to know how many tags do I have in my Joplin app?

Looking forward to some feedback.

This info and much more is available on Desktop in help > sync status.

NoteTags is the number of note-tag associations. If you have 2 tags and 3 notes each attached to both tags, you have 2x3=6 note-tag associations.

Hello there,

Thanks for your help, but, please refer to attached screenshot, there is no information I am looking for in Joplin desktop Sync Status Report.

Help > Synchronisation Status

Then in the displayed dialog box log look for Sync status (synced items / total items)

Then Tag:

Hello there,

Thanks for your feedback. I tried to reproduce what your screenshot showed on my Joplin desktop app but failed; it showed nothing, as seen in the screenshot below.

Then, when I tried again, something else interrupted me and caught my attention, so I walked away leaving the app window open. When I came back, this time it showed the data. I realized that the Joplin app was running very slowly, probably due to the number of my notes and tags. I tried again with a timer ready, and it took one minute to show the data in details rather than a blank page, as seen in the screenshot below.

I can’t say this is all perfect, but I appreciate the assistance by involved forum members and glad the issue solved.

BTW, what is the difference between Tag and Note Tag? I am kind of confused. I have a guess though, does that mean I have 11222 tags and 76063 is the number of tags applied in notes?

Yes, I believe that that is what it is showing. As @_vg said

I created the three tags on one note and the dialog displayed "Tag: 0/3" and "Note tag: 0/3". I then added the three tags to two more notes and the dialog displayed "Tag: 0/3" and "Note tag: 0/9".

(The "0" values are because sync was not being used)

Noted, thanks guys.

@KC_20CY Just curious, how can you have so many tags? 11k is enormous. Have you created them all by hand? UPDATE The answer is in your initial post, you use Tabbles app.

Don't you have performance issues when browsing so many tags?

Also I noted you are using Dropbox. In my experience the sync with Dropbox takes forever for large number of notes (11k in my case, 27k in yours). How long was the initial sync for you? Have you synced any new device recently, how was it?

I found Joplin Cloud 10X faster than Dropbox for my 11k notes. More details: How to survive with a large dataset on Joplin (10k notes, 20k resources, 10GB)

Your dataset size is impressive in all dimensions (notes, folders, tags, notetags) which makes it very interesting as it pushes performance to the extreme. Have you ever tried to sync to any mobile device? I assume you are only using your Desktop app.

Hi there:

For your information.

I have a few extreme projects of metaphysics on the run, the projects produce a lot of data. I created them by hands.

I only have a few data items of Tabbles for the time being, but I am looking forward to integrate data governances of Tabbles and Joplin, one of the main reasons I asked the question of this forum thread.

Quiet a few. Many-notes Joplin user experience has its own universe, that is how I feel.

That I have to check.

I have not synced any new device lately.

I always synced between my desktop and android smartphone.

BTW, I have problem to edit on android smartphone, practically cannot edit any note on android, will be end up missing notes or repeated notes, it is a mess to edit my notes on android smartphone.
