[FR] I hope to propose several improvements to the software, which include adding tagging and template functionalities, as well as optimizing the document export function

Open yifengjob opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Description

  1. Tagging Functionality:

    • Support for multi-level tags, enabling users to categorize documents in a hierarchical manner.
    • The capability to create virtual collections or smart folders based on tags, automatically grouping all documents containing specific tags into a designated folder.
  2. Template Functionality:

    • The provision of document templates, allowing users to choose and apply pre-designed templates when creating new documents.
  3. Optimization of Document Export Feature:

    • Expand support for a wider array of document formats, such as docx, PDF, and others, thus enhancing compatibility and flexibility.
    • Introduce a feature that enables the merging and exporting of multiple sub-documents: Upon selecting a top-level document, the software should have the ability to consolidate its nested or child documents into a single, continuous document during the export procedure.

希望能给软件增加标签功能、模板功能、优化文档导出功能。

1、标签功能:

  • 支持多级标签;
  • 能根据标签创建智能文档,将包含有指定标签的文档聚合到一个位置。

2、模板功能:

  • 能创建文档模板,新建文档时可选择套用模板。

3、优化文档导出功能:

  • 支持更多的文档格式,如:docx、PDF等等;
  • 支持合并文档导出:当我选中某一级文档时,能将它的子文档合并导出到一个连续的文档。

Hi @yifengjob!

First, thank you for using the application and for creating this issue!

Support multi-level tags;

Definitely a good idea!

Ability to create smart documents based on tags...

I'm not sure to understand what you mean by "smart documents" 🤔 Can you give me a little more context?

...aggregate documents containing specified tags into one location.

Like filtering on the panel all the document that have a certain tag? Something similar to the search bar of GitHub issues for example?

  1. Template Functionality:

There is already an issue for the template creation. You can head to #444 for more information :smile:

  1. Optimization of Document Export Feature:
    • Support more document formats, such as: docx, PDF, etc.;

PDF already have an issue: #409 Proprietary format like docx can be challenging but feel free to create another issue with the list of all formats you would like to export to. I can also create the issue for you, just list me the formats you have in mind 😄

Supports merged document export: When I select a certain level of document, its sub-documents can be merged and exported into a continuous document.

Just to make sure I understood correctly. Let's say you have a document with multiple subdocuments. When exporting the main document you want the ability to export all the nested documents at the same time? Like in a zip?

“smart documents”: The ability to create intelligent document collections akin to folders, automatically aggregating all documents bearing specific tags into a centralized location.😄

Supports merged document export: When I select a certain level of document, its sub-documents can be merged and exported into a continuous document.

My document structure is illustrated in Figure 1, and I hope the exported document will appear as depicted in Figure 2.
