As far as I know the only way on desktop is to click on the tags button within a note or right click the note and then select “add or remove tags”. On mobile you can open a note and then choose Tags from the menu. I don’t think there’s a way to see this without opening the note.

Thanks for replying!!  
The aim of my request was:  
I've imported a bunch of notes, and I would like to check rapidly what notes didn't have its proper tag.  
Maybe, this could be a useful feature.

I think it should be shown, what tags a note has on desktop.

it seems that you have a custom theme, could you give more details on your instance?

@jtagcat, Happy to share, but please be aware I nothing about CSS and just through trial and error came up with the following. I’ve used it for a long while without issue.

That being said here below is the content of my ~/.config/joplin-desktop/userstyle.css

Could I get a screenshot of Tools-\>Options-\>Plugins and Tools-\>Options-\>Appearance?  
Other than that I'm out of ideas and would like to hear from a developer.

@jtagcat it looks like @johano is using the solarized light theme, if that’s what you’re looking for.

In terms of the tags it looks like you must be on an older version of Joplin, showing tags at the top of a note was added in v1.0.178. You can check your current version by going to Help-\>About Joplin.

Indeed, I thought AppImageLauncher was auto-updating Joplin, turns out not. It’s auto-updater seems to be broken on Fedora.

Yes it’s a bug on all Linux systems, fortunately the update script is fairly easy to use!

@jtagcat, @CalebJohn is correct, I'm using the Solarised Light theme, with a few customizations via userstyle.css. I'd forgotten how I got there! 🙂
