Filter notes

[skyper]

It would be nice to filter notes and to only download requested. Several filter options come to my mind:

• by user (exclude + only mentioned)
• by status
  • I often want to get rid of closed owns as the system gets quite slow with lots of notes.
• by time (span of time, creation + closed)

Maybe even a combination would be cool in order to find only the notes closed by a certain user in a specific timespan.

As notes is integrated into core this enhancement request is back.

P.S.: Do we need an new component "Core notes" ?

[skyper]

See also #9907 with a similar scenario.

I will rename the "plugin notes" component to "core notes" when we deprecate the plugin.

@ToeBee: can we do that now, or are there some features in the plugin we don't offer yet in core?

[ToeBee]

I'd be fine with renaming. I think the only feature that hasn't been put into core yet is to use the API search functionality to download notes.

Well, I can live with "plugin notes", so far, and enhancements might be valid for both.

Did you implement "Open in Webbrowser", yet, or is there at least the id visible ?

By the way, I can only download and open new notes but all other actions are unavailable (greyed out) atm with r7787. Is this intended or should I open a new ticket ?

The Notes API is still very limited. We can only search for notes on text and comments, not on users and dates.
There are a few tickets aiming at improving the Notes API:

• ​#486
• ​#801
• ​#1194
