joplin's Issues

[Feature Request] Android Wear App

This looks like a great piece of software, but I love to see this on Android wear. Where you can add tasks and notes using the gesture keyboard, and the voice input. Thanks!

Add support for markdown task lists

Would be great to have support for the "task list items" extension of GitHub Flavoured Markdown:

- [x] foo
  - [ ] bar
  - [x] baz
- [ ] bim

https://github.github.com/gfm/#task-list-items-extension-

Backticks in command crash the editor

To replicate :

:config editor "vim`

then press Enter.

(Edit : MacOS Sierra, terminal app with iTerm2, installed through npm if ever needed)

Associated stacktrace :

unhandled promise rejection Promise {

Allow change of notes sort order

It would be nice to be able to change the notes sort order.

I guess this order is currently alphabetical. There could be an option to have a "last update descending" sort order (so that the last modified note is on top of the list).

[Feature Request] End-to-end encryption

It's getting harder and harder to trust providers with our data, and a common solution nowadays is the use of end-to-end encryption since the providers will only be able to see in plain text the metadata needed for synchronization, with all other data readable only by it's owner.

Hi,

thank you for joplin! nice work!

Issues related to attachments in Linux desktop client (installed with appimage in fedora 27):

1. The dialog to select a file opens behind the main window. Actually the dialog is probably not defined as a dialog, so it is not centered on top of joplin main window (the window manager attempts to find some free space on screen to position it, making the whole operation a little bit weird).

2. A strange notification appears when the dialog to select a file opens.

   

3. A file is selected, but nothing happens (nothing is attached).

4. The dialog does not support selecting multiple files, so to attach 10 files, you have to repeat the operation 10 times.

5. The directory the last file was selected from, is not remembered, so if you need to attach 10 files, you have to navigate to the directory 10 times (this may be related to point 3 above - attachments do not work, so nothing is attached, and nothing is remembered).

6. drag and drop of files in joplin window is not supported. Generally drag and drop should be preferred when working with attachments.

Edit menu inside Options/configurations shows empty menu

If i navigate via "Tools" -> "Options" to the configuration UI i found a small visual bug within the menu.

The Edit menu is enabled but shows an empty menu (at least that is what i am assuming).
Disabling the menu would most likely make more sense as long as there is no menuitems coming in the future.

System:

• Joplin 0.10.25 (prod, linux)
• Joplin 0.10.28 (prod, linux)
  Screenshot:

As a sidenote: calling the menu "options" and the options UI then "configuration" is somehow misleading/(confusing ;)

[request] todo

early i know, but this has promise. I'd like to suggest a modification to a todo. usually a todo has a due date and then optionally an alarm. you only have an alarm. can we make todos work like other apps? also, it would be good to have the due date show next to the todo title in the notebook notes list.

[Feature request] Widget for Android App

I would like to thank you for your amazing work providing an open source system on all those platform. Je pense que tu es francophone donc Merci de ton travail fabuleux.

I think it would be a great idea to have a widget to access particular features of the app from the homepage.

Thanks again!

Options/Configuration should show storage location

I am currently testing Joplin, one issue i had is that after creating some test notes & notebooks i can't really figure out where those notes are stored.

It would be helpful if the options UI would display the storage path.

Keyboard cursor jumps while typing

Joplin 0.10.28 (prod, linux)

While creating a note, the cursor appears to jump backward. The effect is essentially equivalent to pressing backspace a few times.

Please refer to the attached clip.

The first line of text being entered was: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

It was followed by a list of 5:

• Item one
• Item two
• Item three
• Item four
• Item five

As observed in the attached video, there are multiple instances where the cursor moves backwards erasing the last few characters.

The behavior was observed while creating several notes.

Blank white screen after selecting time for todo.

It just give me blank white screen after trying to setup alarm for todo list.
And can't do anything other than quitting the app.

[Feature Request] Android app does not support alarms/reminders when creating a to-do item

I would like to be able to set up a to-do item on the android app (unsure if ios app is the same) and allow reminders/alarms like the desktop application.

Trying to log in my Microsoft account to enable sychronisation but I can't paste my password in the form. This is a bit of a hassle if one is using randomly generate passwords from a password manager (using 1Password here) as there is no integration to auto fill and thus the only solution remaining is to copy paste character by character the password.

Let me choose where to install it

On Windows 10, it gave me no choice about where to install it and installed it here:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Joplin\Joplin.exe

Please let me choose where it's installed!

Would be appreciated if you can document how can build it for Linux desktop by using tar.gz source code.

Help needed to fix file or image attachment on Android 5.x

A few users have reported they cannot attach images in Android 5.x however I cannot replicate it, and I haven't managed to get anyone to provide more information about it.

If it's happening on your device too, please could you do the following?

• Go to Configuration and enable Advanced options
• Try to attach an image to a note, which should fail
• Open the menu in the top right hand corner and click Log
• Make a screenshot of it and send it over

That would be really useful to help fix this as for some reason it's not doing it in neither my Android phone nor emulators.

Add rsync or scp driver

Re-size to-do list column

Operating system

• [X ] Windows

Application

When using the To-do list feature, I would like to be able to hide the content pane and/or resize the todo column so that I can use longer titles.

Please allow me to install the Android app on my chrome book

I am i686

Data location

Where is Windows desktop version of Joplin saving notebook data to? How do I enable syncing by network directory? When I click on Synchronise, I get OneDrive login screen. I want to use network directory sync, at least until NextCloud driver is available. Thanks.

F-Droid

Would this app be suitable to be put in F-Droid's repos?

Resizable columns

Manually resizable columns would let me adapt my layout and use Joplin more effective.

OneDrive Login doesn't work on iOS

Add support for maths input

If Joplin had support for maths input in LaTeX style, it would be perfect as a journal / lab book for scientists.

Ideally this would be compatible with Pandoc's implementation, MathOverflow / Math StackExchange, or Jupyter notebooks, as it is a syntax already familiar to many scientists.

Copy paste does not work on Mac

Support OneDrive Business?

OneDrive Business is currently not supported, see here - http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/11/joplin-open-source-evernote-alternative#comment-3638094481

Not sure if it can be since developers apparently have to pay for an Office 365 yearly subscription to enable this on the app.

Option Checkbox UI issue :: Mac OSX

Hi There,

Just reporting a UI issue related to the Options view on this app.

Environment

• mac osx: 10.11.6
• Joplin: v0.10.28

When under the "Tools" > Options view there are three available checkboxes. When I uncheck them the UI does not show them as unchecked. If i then navigate using the "back" link, and then go back into the options view the checkboxes then show they've been deselected. Looks like the option is working but the UI is not showing the change when you click the checkbox.

Note location (database / file-system)?

Are notes only stored in the SQLite-database, not in the file-system as single files?

Delete not working in terminal tool [bug]

In the documentation you have that the delete key would remove a highlighted item. However the only way I can remove a notebook / note / todo currently is by using the rmnote or rmbook functionality.

When dragging a note, the cursor changes to indicate that it's being dragged but the order doesn't change. It would be useful to re-order to-dos manually based on priority.
