Feature Request: Pull in Joplin metadata #6

Closed jt196 closed 2 years ago

jt196 commented 2 years ago

Had a little play around with the script this morning and it's working very well - nice and quick too.

I'd love to give the Obsidian/pure MD style of notetaking a go, but one of the things that is stopping me is the possibility of losing my metadata.

Things I'd lose if I moved my notes:

  1. Source URL
  2. Tags
  3. Creation date

Is it possible to parse the Joplin metadata and add that to the notes? A tag as #tag at the end of the note, creation date as note creation date etc? I don't have any experience with Go as a language so can't offer any help here I'm afraid!

Hi @jt196 ，I just tend to follow the Obsidian/pure MD to do limited conversion work.

Fair enough - so day to day usage for small jobs rather than mass migration of notes. I guess anybody writing this kind of script would be using it as a one off thing.

As I think I mentioned, Joplin now exports with Yaml metadata at the beginning of the note, so that's a good compromise.
