Note overview

HarSel · 2023-03-20T16:40:51.488Z

I may be wrong in doing this but I have a few notebooks with sub-notebooks of the same name. Like Notebook1 has A, B, C etc. as sub-notebooks and Notebook2 also has A, B, C etc.

How do I tell NoteOverview that I want to only use the A from Notebook1. Simply specifying notebook:A gets results from both "A" notebooks even if the specification is made in a note within Notebook1.

I've tried things like
search: notebook:"Notebook1/A"
and
search: notebook:"Notebook1\A"
and
search: notebook:"Notebook1 A"

and all the other variations I could think of but I don't get any results at all this way.

This is not possible, because joplin can only search for the notebook name but not for nested notebooks paths.

I have created a GitHub issue to remeber me on the request. But I am not sure if I implement it and if so then only automatic and manual.

Note Overview is my favorite plugin! Is it possible to get a keyboard shortcut for the "Create note overview" menu item?

Here is my problem - I use the plugin so much that I need a keyboard shortcut. I looked through the Joplin forum and there does not seem to be a way to have user defined shortcuts.

JackGruber · 2023-07-25T16:51:57.422Z

This is already implemented.

On MacOS, there is no tools > options.

There is a Joplin > Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts, but the "Create note overview" keyboard shortcut is disabled. I tried setting it to something, but it would not take. It had a symbol as I typed.

I finally did find Joplin > Settings > Plugins > Note Overview, but there is no keyboard-shortcuts setting. There are other settings.

Seems like the options menu of Joplin is named differently under macOS. But oplin > Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts is correct.

Maire:

This means that you are using a key combination that is already in use.
Move over the and you will see where this is already used

I pressed every modifier key + every regular key and it still doesn't work. Also there is no popup when I move over the . So I know this is not because of a shortcut conflict.

I suspect this is not your bug. I would feel better if someone on this forum can get this to work on macos. I only use 2 plugins so this might be an issue with the plugin framework.

Maire · 2023-07-26T13:04:50.354Z

I just tried it with my other plugin (Outline) and it also doesn't work. So - this does not seem to be your bug.

Maire · 2023-07-26T13:28:51.492Z

OK - I found the bug and I found the workaround and it truly has nothing to do with you. I have to say the keyboard manager is flakey.

Here is the bug: Joplin itself has a conflict with Hide Joplin, You don't see it until you change a regular shortcut, and it will give you this error message:

image1764×156 14.8 KB

So I change Hide Joplin to Cmd-Shift-H and magically the plugins also started working. There is no error message at all if you change a plugin shortcut.

The interesting thing is as I was figuring it out all of the plugin shortcuts disappeared completely (several times) and I had to restart Joplin to get them to come back.

I have to figure out how to file a bug.

Bug filed: Plugin shortcut options editor fails without proper error message #8559

Is it possible to search for all notes with unchecked boxes "- " in the note body (not todo type notes)?

I tried: search: "- [ ]" which yields 0 notes, while search: "- [X]" yields hundreds of notes. For certain, there are plenty of unchecked boxes in note bodies, so my search parameter must be incorrect.

Edit: I think I've got it: search: /"- [ ]"

When I change the "created date" on a note, it doesn't reflect in the overview.

Note Overview694×707 47.9 KB

I used:

<!-- note-overview-plugin
search: notebook:Testing_Created_Date
fields: created_time, title, excerpt
alias: created_time AS Date, title AS Title, excerpt AS Excerpt
sort: created_time ASC
-->

I'm on a Mac:
OS 10.15.7
Joplin 2.13.13

And thanks for creating this plugin. It's awesome!!

JackGruber · 2024-01-12T05:49:38.283Z

When you edit the time stamps, you have to use the user_updated_time and user_created_time, the other both are Joplin internal for the sync.

@JackGruber I wanted to take the time to say thank you for this plugin which is the bedrock of my workflow, and without it I would be, frankly, at sea. It's great to see you're still making updates to it. I have no requests, no features I'd like to see added (beyond perhaps ticking To-Dos off inline but i believe you've covered why that's not possible already), and it's solid as a rock. It just works for me.

Have you got a BuyMeaCoffee or something similiar that you're allowed to publicise? I'm not sure how Joplin's community views donations!!

JackGruber · 2024-01-17T11:08:18.504Z

Interaction is with this implementation not possible, or at least I don't know the way, since this question has come up several times.

No, I haven't, because the plugins are actually all used by myself and that's why I developed them

Hello all,
I've read almost all this long thread but I didn't found a solution to my problem:
is there a way to make complex searches in titles like:
search: title:"word1" AND title:"word2"?
If so, what is the correct syntax?
Sorry for my ignorance.
And thanks for this great/useful plugin.
Tony

See Joplin search documentation

For example:

title:"word1 word2"

antonio-slog · 2024-06-27T08:53:18.320Z

Thanks for the link.
But after reading the search options I can't find a way to use the OR operator for title.
What about searching for title contaning "word1" or "word2"?
TIA again.
Tony
