Tags support
ddddavidmartin opened this issue · 14 comments
Good day,
I have been coming back to this project on and off. One thing that I would really like to see is support for tags on notes. The way I'm picturing it is to have tags mapped to directories under which the respective notes live.
For example:
./tag1:
some_note.txt
./tag_xyz:
some_other_note.txt
and_yet_another_note.txt
For simplicity's sake I would be happy to support just one tag per note. Multiple tags could be symlinked though I reckon. Though it does raise some scenarios to be aware of when deleting tags from the file system.
I'd be happy to spend some time on this and give it a go. Would you have any pointers on where to start? Thanks!
This is a great idea!
Give me a few days to think about it. I don't think symlinks would be necessary, we could just have the note inside each tag's folder just due to how FUSE works.
If you'd like to help, testing it would be great!

That would make it a bit easier. I'm not familiar with FUSE though. Would the notes be in the toplevel directory as well? Because you could delete all tags and the expectation is to still have the note.

No rush at all from my side.

Definitely, I'm more than happy to give it a spin and do some testing!
@ddddavidmartin basic tag support added in 62056fe. Let me know how it works for you!
Woot, how very exciting! I shall have a look and I will let you know how I go
I'll push this to PyPi once it's tested better. For now, can you please back your notes up and install with:
sudo pip install git+https://github.com/tannercollin/standardnotes-fs
or
sudo pip3 install git+https://github.com/tannercollin/standardnotes-fs
Hmmm, I'm getting
Old encryption protocol detected. This version is not supported by standardnotes-fs. Please resync all of your notes by following the instructions here:
https://standardnotes.org/help/resync
when I run it. There has been a security update in the past x weeks which I did apply though.
Okay, I have tried it with a new account and that seems to work. I'm not sure what's going on there, but may be a standardnotes issue rather than standardnotes-fs.
Okay, so I have imported my backup into the new account and now snfs fails with the following:
Silbersofa2:~$ snfs ~/notes

title = note['title'] + ('' if not count else str(count + 1))
KeyError: 'title'
That's odd. Maybe in some old version of SN, titles weren't included. This should be fixed in 46e792d. Can you try it out?
@ddddavidmartin any luck?

Just gave it a try and it appears to be working fine! Thanks!
On an unrelated note. I'm not familiar with FUSE, are all file system operations going to the network?
For example when I switch to the notes directory and try to tab-complete notes, it takes about 3 seconds before they show up. For example simply doing the following.
cd ~/notes
vim <tab><tab>
They aren't, my code is just horribly unoptimized. How many notes do you have?
I have about 200 notes in this account which does not seem accessive I would think.
Good to know, I created issue #7 to deal with it!
