I'm sorry, that didn't work out for 1000s of notes...
But you either can:
It's funny, but in my case it's all in opposite. I have a lot (~300) of notes in a few folders and showing them all would be too much overhead since it will create a lot of visual clutter to navigate between folders (otherwise I'll need to collapse/expand these folders all the time). But thanks for the enhancement anyway!
@Airgunster that exactly was the reason a note-tree wasn't implemented in the first place. :smile_cat: https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes/issues/790#issuecomment-347018021
@pbek wow, thanks, I'm actually still looking forward to this feature, so it's good news for me :) I'll check it out soon
More to come in 19.11.0...
There now is a new release, could you please test it and report if it works for you?

Sorry for the delay. I've tested this new functionality and it is awesome :) However I've noticed one problem. Notes aren't visible when they are in the root directory:
Thank you for the feedback!
It looks like Context Menu no longer works for folders in this mode (QOwnNotes 20.3.5, macOS 10.15): right click does nothing (it works for notes just fine, though).
@lassana do you mean context menu check if note or folder is selected
on the todo list on the top of this feature request? :grin:
@pbek , Nope. I've enabled Instead of a note list use a note tree with all the subfolders (if they are turned on for the note folder)
option, restarted the app and right mouse click no longer works for folder items in the note list.
Instead of a note list use a note tree with all the subfolders (if they are turned on for the note folder)
yes, that's what this feature request is about. but it is "work in progress" (see todo list above) :grinning:
By using the subfolders tree, you can sort the folders and notes in alphabetical order or by last change, but you cannot do this for just one of them. I believe that sorting the notes by last modification and the subfolders in alphabetical order is the preference of most people. Perhaps this option could be added?
That's the default behavior when you're using one panel for notes and another for subfolders. The folders are organized alphabetically and the notes by the last modification.
I played around with sorting yesterday and found no easy way to sort folders and notes differently in the tree. It will be tricky to add that (without major regressions).
There now is a new release, could you please test it and report if it works for you?
20.8.10 fixes the context menu issue for me!
I guess 20.8.4 did, or what was your previous version, @lassana?
@pbek you're probably right, my previous version was like 20.3.x or smth
Just writing to add to this chain about #2149 that I opened, it would be nice to have an option to show all sub-directories in the notes folder separately above files in the tree view. This is an option seen in e.g. file managers were directories appear above files
it would be nice to have an option to show all sub-directories in the notes folder separately above files in the tree view
@digg33, and where are the notes of those sub-folders shown?
@pbek Please have a look at the screen shot below. This is how the Note list panel looks when in Tree mode and sorted alphabetically.
What I would like is to have the folders above the files:
Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions
Thank you
It would be nice to be able to move notes to other subfolders within the same note folder when using note tree, currently notes can only be moved to other folders, the folder containing the note itself and its subfolders are not listed as destination options
I added that to the "task list" above.
Is this feature a part of the main QOwnNotes release? I've enabled "Display note subfolders as full tree" in Settings->Interface->Panels->Note subfolders panel, but still don't see notes inside their sub-folders.
Have you enables subfolders for your note folder?
Yes, though I can't remember where I enabled that (and can't find it again). Inside the "Note list panel" section I just found "Instead of note list use a note tree with all the subfolders (if they are turned on for the note folder) (work in progress)". Enabling that appears to do what I expected. Sorry for failing to find it earlier!
There now is a new release, could you please test it and report if it works for you?
Let's imagine that we have a following folder/notes structure:
Currently we have 2 separate panels to switch between notes:
So I'll see this interface:
If I need to switch from work ToDo List to life ToDo List to quickly add something, I'll have to:
This is not very convenient not only because of the number of actions, but because I have to explicitly remember the name of the folder I need to navigate to. I have tons of notes in different folders, so using "All notes" or history wouldn't be convenient either, so I propose to add the ability to show notes directly in Subfolders panel (thus making it possible to use only one panel instead to two), so it would look like this:
Maybe it's not to everyone's taste, but in my case switching between notes would be much easier this way.
