@laurent
That was my very first stab at writing a plugin, I have to study and learn on how to do that.
On another note, it would be great if Joplin browser extension would handle Youtube pages in a better way like Evernote does.

In an ideal world, it would capture the image, link to the video, some metadata
and include the text portion (without comments) properly formatted

I'm very green with writing JS plugin, but I'll take a stab at what you suggested.
Thanks for your feedback.

@JackGruber If there are multiple images in a note, is there a way to tell the plugin which image to use for the thumbnail?

84

No, the first resource (PDF or image) available in the note is always used.

Would it be possible to add {{notebook}} as a field (when in the "All notes" list or search results)?

Hi!
I have installed Note List Preview two days ago, but it does not work.
I can not see the menu options to activate it. Also in the settings, there isnĀ“t the Note List item to setting it.
The only thigns that I can see in the settings Plugins options, is a message of the Note list preview installed plugin with this text: "Please, update Joplin to use this plugin", and I am using the last Joplin version.

Could you help me, please?

Yes, I would say a known problem currently by design. Joplin cannot display/install the latest compatible version of a plugin but only the latest one.

The version 1.0.0 of the plugin only works with Joplin greater than 3.0.3 which is currently in pre-release state.

You need to install the Plugin version v0.4.2, this is possible via manual install.

Thanks a lot by your quick response.

I tried with 0.4.2 version but didnĀ“t work.
So, I have seen that version 1.0.0 and 0.4.2 has the same file size and time uploaded ago.

I thought, may be both files are the same and I installed 0.4.1 version of the plugin and It works.

Thanks.

Thanks

I like your note list style. Can you tell me what should I do? Thanks.

I have not used the plugin for quite some time but I did keep a note of the settings I used. I just did a quick test and they appear to still work with Joplin v3.0.14 and v1.1.0 of the plugin.

The commented lines are the settings for the plugin itself in Tools > Options. The css goes in userchrome.css.

/* NOTE LIST PREVIEW PLUGIN SETTINGS */
/* Layout field: Layout 1 */
/* First line field: blank / empty */
/* Note text line field: {{updatedTime}} {{noteText}} */
/* Last line field: {{tags}} */
/* Thumbnail field: no */
/* Advanced setting - Item height field: 95 */
/* Advanced setting - Note excerpt field: 200 */

.note-list-item .content {
    .body {
        line-height: 1rem;
        max-height: 3rem;
        overflow: hidden;
    }
    .body .date {
        color: #2D6BDC !important;
    }
    .excerpt {
        opacity: unset !important;
    }
    .lastLine {
        border-bottom: 1px darkgray solid;
        padding-bottom: 2px;
    }
    .tags .tag {
        opacity: unset !important;
        background: #2D6BDC !important;
        color: white !important;
        border-radius: 3px !important;
    }
}

@4SM

Just realised that my notes were for a slightly different layout to the one in the screenshot I posted. If you want the date on its own on the first line the plugin settings are:

/* NOTE LIST PREVIEW PLUGIN SETTINGS */
/* Layout field: Layout 1 */
/* First line field: {{updatedTime}} */
/* Note text line field: {{noteText}} */
/* Last line field: {{tags}} */
/* Thumbnail field: no */
/* Advanced setting - Item height field: 110 */
/* Advanced setting - Note excerpt field: 200 */

Love this plugin. I've been a Joplin user for several years and was really looking forward to this. Thanks for making it happen.
Any chance this plugin will be rolled out to mobile (iphone)?

97

At the moment no, as the required APIs for mobile do not exist in Joplin.

98

Oh bummer!

I was looking for this feature. Thanks!!
