Show recent notes in dashboard
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The notes widget in dashboard only shows the seven first of my favorite notes.
Describe the solution you'd like Make the widget show the recently edited notes as those are the notes users what to go back to most likely.
Describe alternatives you've considered Make if configurable what to show in the widget.
Currently, the widget shows the same list like the notes app itself. I.e., favorites are shown first and then all other notes, sorted by their last changed time. Indeed, this means that you won't see your recent notes if you have more than six favorites. This should be improved.
Nevertheless, I think showing favorites first is still a good approach. But we could limit the number of them to the half (i.e. 3 in this case). Then, the other half (i.e. 4) can be used to show the recent notes.
Would that be a good compromise?
I really see two use cases here:
a) people who want quick access to favorite notes b) people who want quick access to recent notes
In the end "a" will fail if there are more favorite notes than slots in the dashboard. There are at least three possible expectations:
- show oldest favorites
- show newest favorites
- show favorites in alphabetical order
I think Nextcloud currently does (1) but I would actually like (3) better in the app itself. In the dashboard this would be problematic because then it would only show favorites from e.g. A... to F...
Mixing some favorites and some recents actually makes it worse I think. For me, only showing recent notes is the most logical thing.
I think Nextcloud currently does (1) but I would actually like (3) better in the app itself.
Currently, a variant of (2) is implemented: first, the favorites are shown (newest first) and then non-favorites are shown (newest first). This applies to both the app itself as well as the notes dashboard. Regarding the alphabetical order in the app itself, please have a look at #613.
