Why not give an option to combine selected notes into one note file? I switched from evernote, there it was my workflow after finishing projects. U can select different notes and merge them into one. They will be divided by a --- tag. All tags will also be merged together, so no tag will be lost…

I feel this kind of feature would be best implemented as a plugin… If we had a plugin system. In the meantime you can always automate a few things with the api or cli app.

Sound good, the plugin system. Any time plans for that @laurent ?

I’d like to implement this some day, but don’t know when unfortunately.

Any news on this ? "Merge notes" was one of my favorites features in Evernote. It was a good way to gather pieces of information, clean up a little bit, etc. Maybe a plugin developer will be interested since more and more work has been done around the plugin ecosystem.

While testing the plugin features, I've actually created a plugin that does this: joplin/index.ts at dev · laurent22/joplin · GitHub It's just a demo so it can be improved but could be used as a starting point.

You can always drop the plugin file in your profile "plugins" folder. For now, I've removed the "Install plugin" button because I felt it clutter the UI and it's not really needed anymore.
