im not sure what "Tag Notebooks" are

Sorry, I made that term up I meant the list of Tags that are underneath the Notebook list. I consider these "Notebooks" since clicking brings up a list of notes, but they aren't as fancy as what you want.

I agree that "Smart Notebooks" that are 'just' saved searches would be really useful, and I would also likely abandon traditional notebooks and use a flat catchall notebook + tags if they existed. (In fact, I've been lazy about sorting my "inbox" notebook lately and it is becoming that already!)

I am wondering if the Favorites saved search would help you? joplin-favorites/README.md at master · benji300/joplin-favorites · GitHub (note you have to copy from clipboard, but fairly automatic)

but it would be really cool (for me) to see a folder of notes as one long note, rather than individual notes.

this has come up a few times, most recently I saw this comment:

Note overview

This plugin has turned Joplin into my dream note taking app. Thanks. I have a request/idea, right now the plugin returns a table would be possible/easy to just return normal text instead of a table? I would like to compile 3 notes into a single note… sort of a combine notes (which can of course be achieved by combined notes plugin) but dynamically (which can be achieved by your plugin)

It seems like it would be a lot of work, but in my mind it is theoretically possible to do via plugin. Since I am not a plugin dev, easy for me to say!

where i had conflicts git diff was able to help me merge back the missing content from the conflicts

Not exactly what you want, but I wonder if this in-progress plugin will help (or could be molded to help). Conflict Resolution Plugin

In general you might like this thread if you haven't seen it. https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/any-suggestions-on-what-plugins-could-be-created/

There are a lot of ideas there. Also it seems like if you write out a detailed description of a plugin you can sometimes get a developer excited to work on it.
