I've managed to replicate it and that will also be in the next version.

What are you trying to say. You fixed it and created a PR?

I think he might be a bot since his posts make no sense.

benji300 · 2020-10-28T11:38:55.914Z

Okay... thanks for your answer.

benji300 · 2020-10-28T12:25:01.951Z

Sorry my bad... I should have read the spec better.

Regarding the panels layout...
What about a "dynamic" layout where users can drag&drop the panels to any location they want? Like most of the IDEs provide (e.g. Eclipse, Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code).
In this case it doesn't matter where a panel is created by default. One API to create a panel would be enough for the plugins.
But then Joplin needs to save the panels layout. Also for the plugins. I'm not sure if you want this.

Another question would be: Shall it be possible to "overlay" panels then? To have a "tabbed" view of panels like VS Code does for opened editors.

Here's a screenshot of what I am trying to say:

screenshot|75%1920×997 325 KB

Green: The area where the panels can be moved
Orange: Here panels can be dragged to
- Basically you can create new columns, lines and also cells within a column or line
This also includes that the note list and editor should be handled like all other panels
- In the screenshot the global search is handled as an own panel (just an idea...)

I totally agree that this would be a huge change for Joplin and might not match with your intention for a simple note taking app. But that's the only idea I have for a generic panel API.

I've run into various types of errors with 1.3.10 while importing various .enex files. Here are three examples. Most of them have been encountered more than once.

Regarding atomic database operations, etc. This is what happens to an import process when a 'joplin sync' is triggered in the background.

It's unclear whether the "ERROR" is actually an error, or if the import process is retrying, or if a DELETE is actually failing (and potentially leaving something inconsistent):

laurent:

I plan on doing that, but since I have personal information in the large .enex files, I'm trying to determine the specific notes that are triggering the issue, allowing me to create an .enex containing only those notes.

However, the information on debugging the command line app here: joplin/readme/debugging.md at master · laurent22/joplin · GitHub is not working as I would expect.

joplin --debug --log-level debug import filename.enex

is not adding any additional debug information in $HOME/.config/joplin/log.txt

I can't find anything in log-database.txt that lets me correlate the error to a specific note. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!

The error you've posted above is already good enough, but it's even better if I can replicate with an ENEX, then it's much easier to find a fix. So indeed if you can narrow it down to a few notes that you can share that would be perfect. You can also send them by PM if you prefer.

tessus · 2020-10-30T02:08:36.431Z

Some combinations of modifier keys can't be assigned via the UI keyboard shortcut editor:

e.g.:

Ctrl+Option+Shift+Cmd+[A-Z]
Ctrl+Option+Cmd+[A-Z]
Option+Shift+[A-Z]
Option+Cmd+[A-Z]
Option+Shift+Cmd+[A-Z]
Ctrl+Option+[A-Z]

You can use them in the json file, but not via the UI.

tessus · 2020-10-30T18:55:57.552Z

@laurent shall I open a gh issue for this ^^^ or is above post enough?

laurent · 2020-10-30T19:00:04.103Z

I don't know how to fix this to be honest as I don't understand why the Option key wouldn't work. Perhaps @anjulalk would know something?

This is very strange. I have thoroughly tested the editor in macOS, and it worked fine. However it was a virtualized instance, and I used the accessibility keyboard for sending key presses as I don't have access to a Mac.

Let me look into this issue. I don't know what's causing the issue at the moment, but I'll try to give a fix as soon as possible.

laurent · 2020-10-30T22:48:21.740Z

No I think that's reasonable, I thought about something like this too, and the underlying component is made with that in mind. The layout in particular can be saved/loaded from JSON if needed.

The problem indeed is how to create a UI that can be developed relatively easily. Drag and drop is often messy to implement so I'd favour a solution without it but not sure what.

laurent · 2020-10-31T13:22:58.675Z

Version 1.3.11 is now available:

Improved: Make sure all commands appear in keymap editor
Fixed: Add history backward and forward commands to keymap and menus (#4010)
Fixed: Fixed handling of Option key for shortcuts in macOS
Security: Remove "link" and "meta" tags from notes to prevent XSS

benji300 · 2020-10-31T13:23:24.484Z

That would be great. I didn't think you thought so, too.
I understand the drag and drop problem.

Initially, you could let users edit the layout directly in the JSON file. So Joplin would read this "layout-desktop.json" only once at startup. This is not for "standard" users, but if they can currently install a plugin, they should also be able to edit the JSON file.

Later it might be possible to implement an UI (whatever that might look like) in the options view to define the layout graphically. From which the JSON file is written then.

Version 1.3.11 is now available:

A little bit of beta-testing

Windows 10 Pro x64
Joplin 1.3.11 Portable

Placing a plugin in a plugins folder in the profile directory (\plugins\SideBarToggle.js) works.
Moving the plugin to a sub-directory of the plugins folder in the profile directory (\plugins\SideBarToggle\SideBarToggle.js) does not.
Previous post indicates that the plugin in the sub-directory should be loaded.
Joplin was restarted after every change.
Keyboard shortcuts settings page appears to have two entries for rename (Rename Folder & Rename Tag?)
