Use file name instead of first line as title [$20] #190
Comments
Understood. But I would want to constructively disagree:
To be honest, I guess there is more PRO than CON for it... |
I do also disagree. A separate field for a Title would be nice, it's always bugging me. Using the title as filename is perfectly fine. :) |
Especially with the mobile app around and the issues with it:
… I’m thinking again about if it might be a good idea to split first line and file name. We could still handle it exactly like now on note creation: By default the first line you type is used as filename. But once created, when you change the first line, the note title is not changed. For that you have to use the 3-dot menu in the note list to »Change filename«. What do you think @nextcloud/notes @Henni @camilasan @stefan-niedermann? |
I'm fine with that, although I see other things that would be more important. But if someone implements this for the frontend, I'm willing to change the 3rd-party ( |
I'm sometimes editing my *.txt files on my computer (NotePad++), sometimes with the web app, and sometimes with the nextcloud-notes app. And i'm frequently expériencing some troubles with file names. |
@frederiiiic Which kind of troubles do you are talking about? |
For exemple when i'm changing the first line, the nextcloud app change the name of the file. And if i've changed it on the txt file of my computer, this will be deleted. |
Maybe we might introduce a slider to decide whether the first line to be interpreted as filename or not?! |
IMHO: An option would require to maintain two completely different views. We better should decide for one default view and only provide this. |
As this project seems dead (no commits for quite a long time), I want to let you know how I solved it. With two apps, you get close to the Nextcloud nodes app. Install Denkzettel and Folder Sync. You have to add your Nextcloud as webdav server and add a sync folder. With the correct options set, your experience comes close to the Nextcloud solution. No nodes app on server needed. Good luck! |
Thanks for sharing your experiences :-) However, this project is far away from being dead. Instead, it undergoes a big modernization, see #290. After that, this issue is one of the issues with higher priority. You can speed this up by increasing the bounty on this, bye the way. |
What is the state? Is this still considered for any of the milestones? |
The main issue for me with the first line of the note being used for the filename is that this very often results in a filename which contains spaces. This is obviously not optimum for when one wants to operate on the file in the command-line interface. |

I know it's not much, but I threw another $10 at this. Maybe @godfuture could update the title? |
Okay, people. The implementation is finished (see #474), so please test if it is like you expected (checkout the branch |
Using the first line as title has the drawback that information is displayed redundant. As space on screen is valuable, on mobile devices even more, it makes sense to expose the title separately from the body and persist it as filename. This way there is no longer redundancy. This still works well with basic text editor and files app syncing to desktop.
