Poll: What's the size of your note collection?

majorgear · 2023-02-06T19:22:54.190Z

Where do you see how many notes / attachments/etc that you have?

Help > Synchronisation Status gives quite a detailed breakdown.

majorgear · 2023-02-07T02:59:41.008Z

Thanks. I think it only counts notes that you have synchronized. I've getting familiar with the Joplin API that can query the Joplin desktop app directly for metrics. That should do what I want.

@majorgear I tried something similar: joppy/note_stats.py at fc7244632ea2ac09c25d71f42b83947fb3532639 · marph91/joppy · GitHub. It collects note count, word count and the most common words. Could be a starting point for your use case.

majorgear · 2023-02-13T19:35:42.584Z

Nice. I got my note count down from 11k to 3.5k notes, so ...progress! I'm hoping that when I delete a note, it also deletes attached files that aren't referenced by anything else. But I don't know if that is the case.

I'll check out your script for the next time I need stats on my notes collection.

How do we find total number of notes?

I'm new to Joplin. As I haven't set up a properly configured sync server I use Joplin in test mode.

My database of eight years of Evenote use is a 40 Gbyte with some 20.000 notes, from webclips to receipts as I used it for a nomber of tasks. So I expect that Joplin will grow as much in the future.

Dropbox is fine with the phone but i have problems with the iPad and the size of my Dropbox is limited, in the future I'll put the data on a NAS

zblesk · 2023-02-27T15:14:00.090Z

I recommend setting up sync even while testing.
Syncing that many notes will currently take a long time.
Unless you make thousands of changes between synchronizations, it won't be a problem after the first sync; I'm just mentioning it so you don't get unpleasant surprises later.

Delfi_R · 2023-02-27T15:24:24.312Z

I haven't imported all notes in the test setup. I have imported just a notebook and I create new notes on a different notebooks that I can export and import every time. When I have a Joplin Terminal server running and the sync it's not an issue, I would select wich notebooks I sync.

Syncing selected notebboks on different devices it's one idea to set up.

zblesk · 2023-02-27T16:16:53.294Z

If you mean selective sync, as in only syncing some notebooks on some devices - you can't do that.
(You can create different profiles and switch between them, though.)

Delfi_R · 2023-03-10T12:48:03.581Z

I understand that this is the only way to do it by now.

joeschmoe · 2024-04-04T02:55:01.261Z

A plugin to see the size of the biggest notes would be pretty handy I think. Is there such a thing?

YAG · 2024-04-30T10:07:56.466Z

Help.

My note collection takes now more than 57GB. My SSD is full because of this.

I have not even yet transferred all my notes from Evernote. Only about 23 000 notes transfered, still a few thousand more to add.

My evernote DB took less than half that space, with the same notes (more notes actually, since there are about 6000 that I have not transfered yet).

What gives ?

What can I do ?

(using a Joplin Cloud Pro subscription)

If you use encryption, you could delete all the .crypted files in your profile "resources" folder. Maybe also check the size of the log files and delete them if they are too large

Wow, that's a bit scary.
My resources folder is 19.7GB out of the 57GB for the whole Joplin-desktop folder.
The Crypted files are 12.7GB in this

I'll try this.

Even if that removes 12.7GB and gets the Joplin folder down to 45GB, I'm still a bit curious about the huge difference between my evernote DB and the Joplin DB ?

robtamp · 2024-04-30T11:34:17.205Z

127GB.18k notes.

How about the log files? Or anything in temp folder or other folders?

YAG · 2024-04-30T15:05:25.737Z

So, after removing all the CRYPTED files (12GB),

joplin-desktop is now 44.6GB (as expected, decreased by 12GB)

So most of the data 37.1GB out the 44.6 in a folder name 'profile-9utt9gea' :

image826×663 19.2 KB

Apparently the profile I am using (with Joplin Cloud) is a second profile. It's the one with "id" : 9utt9gea

I am not using the first (default) profile - I had actually forgotten about it, since I used it just to try out when I started using Joplin. As those tryouts were with OneDrive, I hadn't thought they were also using space on my local SSD.

I'd like to remove that old profile. Unfortunately it's the default one. I could find the procedure to delete an additional profile, but not the default one, see link below
