I'd want to share some ideas that I think every Kjots user would thank. 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 centuries XII and XIII, with tags like Philosophy, Renaissance, 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 requests about this for years in several sites, nd since Kmail supports at least image inserting and Kjots uses the same "mechanism" 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.

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 read several mails at once. The same goes for notes. Window split, as in Kate, 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" folder that may be mised 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 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

Seems that suggestions here in this "Brainstorm" section don't receive much attention from developers, so I have filed a feature request at BKO.

Sync with Kolab might also be nice, if not already possible (haven't use Kjots yet)
