Firstly, this looks great and promises to be the 'Holy Grail' , thanks for all the effort you must be putting into it.
I had all my notes in Evernote organised in a structure of nested notebooks
However, on importing (in one ENEX file) to Joplin all these notebooks were lost - the ENEX file imported into one big notebook with all notes in it.
So I converted to a nested structure of tags in Evernote and imported (in one ENEX file) to Joplin (from this post).
However, now I have all the notes with the correct tags, but the tags have no nested structure and I don't seem to be able to nest them.
So, I have three questions:
Are nested tags possible, if so, how do I do that, and if not can they become possible (feature request)?
Should I have imported all the original nested Evernote notebooks in separate imports to give separate Joplin notebooks that I could then have nested?
I think 1. would be my favourite, since I think that a note can have more than one tag but can not be in more than one notebook - is this correct?
It's not possible at the moment and there's no plan at the moment to implement it.
Yes, Evernote make (probably on purpose) hard to export data, so you can't for example export all your notebooks and note in one ENEX file. You need to do it one notebook at a time, and then it will also create one folder per notebook on Joplin.
A lot of thanks for the makers of this nice application. I hope many will leave Evernote and use and contribute to Joplin. For me also important is the possibility of nested tags: it helps to organize when you have a lot of tags (for example 2000)
I’m trying to move to Joplin from Evernote and REALLY miss nested tags as I have done deep structure of them (only several are first-level, e.g. .where -> countries -> cities or .who -> person’s name). Kudos for making them available in Joplin!
Unfortunately I don’t think that post is relevant. But you are in luck there is already a pr that adds nested tags. I can’t comment on when it will get merged though.
It got merged in 1.0.231 and reverted in 1.0.233, due to performance issues ( in the pre-release channel ). Hope the feature lands in the official release, since cognitively, its a vast improvement, especially when dealing with lots of tags. Also cognitively this is just miles ahead over the non-nested tags, which spills over in a much improved UX in my view
Yup,
That what I meant
I use File System sync from Joplin on Laptop then the Folder I select in Joplin is synced by the Nextcloud client
Seem much much faster than just using the Joplin WebDav sync to Nextcloud
On my Android mobile WebDav sync to Nextcloud seems fine.
Will look at plugins, but I like using the rich text editor so I think I have to be careful there?
I could work around having no nested tags if only the tags in each notebook were listed below that notebook, rather than a separate list of all the tags. Then, for example, clicking on Tag 1 in Notebook 1 would only show the result of Tag 1 AND Notebook 1.
I dont know if this change to the interface would be much easier to implement than making nested tags?
Maybe this is just plain daft, but it's just an idea
