  • Personally I see the notelist as a (file) view of file manager. It’s an interactive space for presenting lists of items: be it notes, notebooks, tags, etc

    Subsequently, the feature set I imagine comes from file managers I’m familiar with.

    Visual

    • Ability to change the modes of view for notelist:
      • list with attachment preview,
      • detailed (table of all relevant attributes but no preview),
      • compact (only list of titles),
      • grid of notes (based on attachments preview)

    Search related

    • When using notelist as a page for search results,
      • Display the source notebook / full notebook tree
      • Display tags and notebooks as separate lines in notelist

    Structure related

    • Display condition based “groupper” line. For example: (notes) viewed this week, (notes) edited today, (notes that) have attachments, (notes that) link outside of its notebook, etc.
      • Display groupper where its list of notes is collapsed (folded)

    Misc

    • Feature: Rename note by double clicking on it, i.e. display renaming form in the notelist The same way files are renamed usually in other file managers – you don’t need to open a file to rename it. Having this renaming form directly in notelist helps visually see how notes relate to one another in a given notebook. It helps to tidy up notebook

    P.S. There’s a chance this all is completely out of what you had in mind, but I thought to share in case it could be helpful.
