Bug ID: 359965
Summary: Improvements for Kjots
Product: kjots
Version: unspecified
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: steve...@gmail.com
Reporter: inf...@openaliasbox.org
I'd want to share some ideas that I think every Kjots user would thank.
Hopefully developers could consider implementing them. What do you think about
their utility and feasibility?
1. Tags.
If any of you have used Evernote, Google Keep, Microsoft OneNote, and similars,
you probably have found very useful the possibility of tagging your notes.
Folders -notebooks- are nice for a rough classification, but a note may deal
with various categories, or themes. It would be nice to tag a note about, for
instance -a note I've been elaborating recently-, origins of the Renaissance,
which deals with the reintroduction of Aristotle's thought in Europe by the
philosophers from Al- Andalus in the Middel Age, with tags like Philosophy,
Renaissance, Aristotle, andalusi thinkers, Islam, etc.
2. Thumbnails.
Again, if you take a look to Evernote's interface, you will see that the notes
list accompanies the title of the note with a thumbnail of said note. It helps
to recognize rapid and visually the notes. If you only have few notes it's not
that useful, but when you have dozens or hundreds in the same folder, it does
help a lot. As Kjots uses the same format for notes than Kmail for messages
this could be probably useful also for HTML mails in Kmail's message list.
3. Multimedia support.
I have seen many requests for this for years in several sites, and since Kmail
supports at least image insertion and Kjots uses the same "mechanism" of
Kmail's mesages I can't understand how image support hasn't been add time ago.
Anyway, many of our notes include images, sound, even videos; think of
notebooks about family/vacation/projects, or "tutorials" that many people
compose for themselves regarding software: can you imagine help notes about,
say, Digikam or Krita without screen captures, or notes about vacations without
videos? Let's not talk about "instructions" for friends and relatives that ask
us how to do X in program Y; we are almost "obligued" to record screencasts
because we know is the way they will understand better. Would improbe a los
Kjots' utility.
4. Owncloud sync.
And other cloud plattforms, especially open sourced ones -althought I suppose
that Google Drive and Dropbox support would be good to new "migrants" to KDE-.
Nowadays we take notes on our computres but everyday more on our tablets and
phones, and we want them to be available in any of our devices. I think that
contemporary note taking apps should be mandatorily synchronizable with cloud
storage services.
5. Search box
As in Kmail, a search function is almost indispensable when the number of notes
you have begins to be considerable.
6. Tabs and window split
Again, Kmail has the useful tabs feature: sometimes we need to compare several
mails or take information from them. The same goes for notes. Besides tabs,
window splitting, as in Kate, Konsole, Dolphin and others, would permit to see
this information in a very handy way, and to copy or move content just
selecting, dragging and dropping. As said, Kate has it, would it be too
difficult to use its code and implement it in Kjots?
7. Folder structure
I'm not very sure about this one, but wouldn't be better using a normal folder
structure, not hiding Notebooks under those ".Notebook.directory" folders that
may be missed when doing a backup if we don't remember to show hidden files?
Also, why those 3 folders: new, cur, tmp? In Kmail "new" is for unread mesages,
but what' the sense of having it in Knotes?, or a "tmp" folder -to be sincere,
I don't even know what's its purpose of it in Kmail-? I don't think I
understand this organization well, so, please correct me if I'm wrong, as I've
said, I'm not very sure about this last suggestion.
Regards
