Allow excluding or including by notebook?

[smach]

Thanks for the plugin, which looks very interesting! It would be useful if I could exclude an entire notebook by notebook - or conversely designate which notebooks I want included - and not only by individual note. I have a huge notebook that I wouldn't want to include. If I modify all thousands of notes in there to add the exclude tag, all the notes will show that new modification date.

I think that it's already covered. Try this: Tools --> Jarvis --> Exclude notebook from note DB

Hi thank you very much. It was strange, the first time I installed it I didn't see any menu options even after restarting Joplin, I needed to deactivate and reactivate. Quick question: If I select "Include notebook from note DB" for a few notebooks, does that mean only those notebooks are included? Or should I make sure to manually exclude and include each one?

The include command is meant to undo exclusion. So if you want to include specific notebooks, you'll have to exclude all others. Exclusion also excludes every sub-notebook within the notebook that you selected, so hopefully getting the highest level of notebooks set will not take too long.
