What's new in Joplin 2.13

karl1 · 2023-12-06T21:21:36.985Z

I had a bunch of my plugins quit working--Quick Links, for example. I had to downgrade. Did anyone else have these problems?

Quick links works for me! Make sure the beta editor is disabled (Settings > General > Un-check "opt in to the editor beta").

(It should be disabled by default).

One of the main addition is support note list plugins - it allows any plugins to customise what the list should display each note.

Is there any chance that this change will ever allow the changing of the height for note list items? I realize it may be totally unrelated, but customizing this has been a long sought after feature. For example using something like

.notes div, .note-list-item-wrapper {
	height:inherit!important
}

worked. Sorry! I wanted to try the new editor, but it screwed up my zettlekasten plugins.

With this update the whole list can be customised via plugins, including the item height

What needs to happen for the plugins to play nicely with the beta markdown editor?

personalizedrefriger · 2023-12-07T00:37:56.657Z

We have a compatibility layer to (partially) support plugins written for CodeMirror 5 plugins. However, there are large parts of the CodeMirror 5 API that it doesn't support.

Issues with plugin support in the beta editor are being tracked on GitHub.

including the item height

That would be awesome. Thanks for all your work. Hopefully someone picks this up. It will be exciting to see all the things people come up with.

Would this permit the note listing to have thumbnails such as Nevernote? Take Note Overview and apply it to the listing rather than as a note on its own?

laurent · 2023-12-07T15:02:04.131Z

It allows creating "left to right" note lists with items of arbitrary sizes, so square for example. And then you can add images or text so you can create thumbnails and previews of the note content.

I'm not sure what you mean about Note Overview, is that an Evernote feature?

On the 'downloads' page, the link Android apk that one can get directly outside the Google market still points to the old (2.12...)
After some despair I found that in fact it's only that url in the download page that wasn't updated.
I copied it, edited the text to replace the version 2.12... with 2.13... and loaded the resulting url, and the right apk did download.
So : solved for me, but @laurent you may wish to update the webpage

Note Overview, Jack Gruber's plugin for Joplin that gives a thumbnail and other things for all the notes in a notebook.

As we have improvements now in tables, would we see calculation functions in the tables?
I know there was a plugin available in the past, but seems no longer working. Any idea?

laurent · 2023-12-10T14:10:09.280Z

Do you have an example of what you mean by calculation functions in tables? That sounds a bit like Excel, which would be out of scope, unless you mean something else

JSheets was working last time I used it. Maybe you are referring to a different plugin?

A plugin to write excel like sheets in Joplin Plugins

Hi there Joplin community Intro: I compared various note-taking apps and Joplin turned out to be my favorite by far, even tho' it's lacking features, being open source and able to add them myself was what made Joplin win the competition. (although it was hard to find somehow, it does not appear on the different mobile stores or on google when searching for note-taking apps) What? I was missing the ability to write excel-like sheets in Joplin. So I create the JSheets plugin which you …

MxO2204 · 2023-12-11T09:49:54.476Z

I mean a simple "SUM" function for example to add some cells in a column or a percentage calculation in a Joplin table. Not the full Excel functionality.

MxO2204 · 2023-12-11T11:14:14.025Z

Hey, I gave it a try, and yes, thats working for me. Thanks a lot!

laurent · 2023-12-11T11:36:50.087Z

I've updated the note list demo to showcase a few example renderers:

Top to bottom with title, date and body

image696×778 54.3 KB

Left to right with thumbnails

image630×802 57.8 KB

Top to bottom with editable title

image630×542 25.9 KB

What's next?

We'll probably integrate one or two of these renderers by default at some point, but in the meantime it's possible to customise the note list in many different way using this plugin API.

Next, I'd like to support customisable headers so that we can create sortable lists like this:

Do you know of any application that support this kind of limited table calculation features? I wonder if there's a standard or something for it. I don't assume TinyMCE supports this by default?

MxO2204 · 2023-12-11T13:57:01.888Z

No, actually I don't know of any application that does this. In OneNote you can create a "calculation table" but that then opens with MS Excel. "Normal" tables in OneNote do not support any calculations.
Simple calculations can be done using 10+20= inserts the result. But thats not what I search.
As I said, I tried the "JSheets" and that works for me on the Desktop, it does not work however i.e. in the Android app.
I'm not familiar with TinyMCE, but checking the website, I don't think its possible with TinyMCE.
