Switching Between Notebooks

[mrinterestfull]

Feature Request:

Would it be possible to add a button that would toggle between notebooks? Work vs Home. I take my fast work laptop home. When I'm at work I'm adding work related notes. I would like to switch between home rednotebook easily.

Currently you can do it by clicking "Open" and select different folder. Then when switching back to work, you have to do the same.

1. Could we add a setting under preferences "2nd notebook path" ,"2nd notebook Name".
2. If set a new button is added to UI. The name of the button is value of "2nd notebook name".
3. When clicked the button; it would save current ,switch to new path in a same fashion as Journal -> "open". 3b. When switch is complete the button changes to "Main".
4. If pressed it saves and uses Journal -> open and opens the default path.

Thanks Lucas

Solution : Thanks for bringing this up. I think a more general solution would be to have a list of recently used journals under "Journal -> Recently Opened". It could be implemented by using http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2reference/class-gtkrecentchoosermenu.html . If anybody wants to work on this, give me a shout :)

Cheers, Jendrik

Thanks for opening an issue for this! The code should use the GTK3 version of the menu widget: https://lazka.github.io/pgi-docs/#Gtk-3.0/classes/RecentChooserMenu.html#Gtk.RecentChooserMenu

Another workaround would be use of different shortcuts/launchers for your notebooks: RedNotebook Work would launch rednotebook /path/to/work/journal RedNotebook Home would launch rednotebook /path/to/home/journal etc.

User effort would be basically identical and you can have multiple notebooks open at the same time :)

On the Windows you can copy existing shortcut (naming it "RedNotebook Work" etc) and edit its Target property. You can follow this answer for Windows 10. On *nix procedure is very similar but depends on the environment (Gnome/KDE/Xfce/etc) you use.

Your Target property should be something like this: "C:\Program Files\RedNotebook\RedNotebook.exe" "C:\Users\lszyba1\Documents\Diary"

Please note the quotes - they are required if the passed paths contain spaces.

I would be interested by such a feature too, being able to quick switch between notebooks.

Maybe another possibility would be to implement a left panel with a list of all the created notebook (or at least the most recent ones) so that all notebooks can be accessed with one click only.

For now, I consider this feature out of scope for RedNotebook.
