Tags not imported #16

Open hffaust opened 1 year ago

hffaust commented 1 year ago

When I used this to export all of my notes in Joplin I noticed that the tags I had on each note were no longer present once I opened in Obsidian.

Could this be fixed to include all of the tags? That would be really helpful for people like me who are trying to switch over from Joplin and have 1000+ tagged notes.

If anyone wanted to implement this, here is how tags are actually stored in target directory:

https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/where-are-tags-stored/8466/7

Each tag is stored in separate *.md file, which has type_: 5 attribute.
Each note-to-tag relation is also stored in separate *.md file and has type_: 6 attribute

@piotrek-k Could you please elaborate on this a little more? I am not sure what the type_: attributes are or the general format of how things are stored as *.md files. I thought all things joplin where somehow stored in a SQL database.

I think a little more detail could help someone actually be able to implement this. Thanks.

You don't need to use joplin2obsidian anymore. In Joplin, go to "File -> Export All" and select "MD - Markdown + FrontMatter". This will export all your notes to Markdown with metadata at the top of each file. Tags are also included. Obsidian can interpret this metadata by default. Just copy and paste.
