Order in which notes are displayed about qownnotes HOT 4 CLOSED

Hello Leo,
the default sort order is modification date (last modified file comes first). Optionally you can sort the notes alphabetically (filename).

In my case I just ignored the sort order after I "imported" the notes and when I edited one it came to the top by itself.

Keep in mind that the filename has to match the first line of the note (plus the .txtof the filename at the end). The ownCloud notes app does it this way, so we had to mimic that behaviour. QOwnNotes will rename your file according to the first line of the note as soon as you edit it.

Does this answer your question?

Best wishes, Patrizio

If there would be a note importer in QOwnNotes, what features would you expect / love to see?

Thanks for the quick reply; thought so.
I ended up setting the last access and modified date on the files I created for QOwnNotes to the dates of the original (exported) note. All works fine now and in the right order.

I think a note importer would be an overkill given the various export formats that float around. It only took a day to hack some python code to convert the two different file formats I had into the QOwnNotes format

Thanks

Great you solved the problem!
Hehe, I guess not everyone is so adept in coding like you. 😉

Yes, for an importer we would need much more user input...

I'll close this issue now (until you have a related question), but feel free to open new issues if you have suggestions or troubles.

Have a great day, Patrizio
