Quick notes - Releases

Sharing, rebuilt. A note can be shared with people and with groups, and every share says what it allows: can view, can edit, or pass the note on to somebody else. Shares apply the moment you make them instead of waiting for the note to be saved. Editing a shared note is real collaboration — and if two people save at once, the second one is told about it rather than quietly overwriting the first.

What is yours stays yours. The title, the content, the colour and the attachments belong to the note and are the same for everybody. Your pin, your tags, your reminder and whether you archived it are yours: pinning a note somebody shared with you does not pin it for them, and two people can be reminded of the same note at their own time.

Attachments travel with the note. Whoever can see it can see them and download them, and images, video and audio open in the Nextcloud viewer. The files themselves stay where they are in your Files and are not shared there. Anybody who can edit a note can attach to it, and several attachments are laid out as a mosaic instead of a strip that got thinner with every file.

Finding a note. "Filter notes" narrows the board as you type, across titles, text and tags, ignoring case and accents — cafe finds Café.

Trash. It can now be emptied in one go, not only one note at a time or by waiting for the weekly cleanup.

Fixes. Opening the colour palette no longer breaks the editor — the format toolbar stopped appearing and further typing was not counted as a change. The palette closes with the note. The delete-attachment icon and the format toolbar icons are drawn properly again, and the dashboard widget no longer shows archived or trashed notes.

Translations. Twelve strings — the whole reminder, sorting and archive vocabulary — could never reach translators and were in English in every language; they are translatable now. Spanish is complete.

For developers. The REST API is documented in doc/openapi.yml, and api_version is 1.5.

In detail:

• Add a "Filter notes" entry to the navigation: it looks like the others until you click it, and then a field takes its place and narrows the notes on screen as you type, matching the title, the body and the names of the tags. Case and accents are ignored — "cafe" finds "Café" — and several words all have to appear, in any order. It is a filter like the colour and tag ones, so it applies to whichever list you are looking at; Escape or the × drops it and puts the entry back, and it travels in the url as ?q=.
• Say "no notes match the filter" instead of leaving a blank area, which is also what the colour, tag and reminder filters did when they matched nothing.
• Empty the trash in one go, from a button that shows up in that view when there is something in it. Until now a note could only be purged one at a time, or left for the weekly cleanup. The API has it as DELETE /notes/trash, which answers how many notes went.
• Describe the API in doc/openapi.yml: every /api/v1 endpoint, what the payloads carry, and which of their fields belong to the note and which to whoever is asking.
• Let the reminder, sorting and archive vocabulary be translated at last. Twelve strings — "Remind me", "Sort by:", "Move to trash", "Restore" and the rest of them — were written inside the handlebars templates, which the translation tool does not read, so they never reached Transifex and were in English in every language. They go through templates/fake.php now, like the others already did.
• Stop asking translators to translate the minified vue runtime. The extractor was reading the built bundles and pulling strings like key,ref,slot,slot-scope,is out of them; a .l10nignore keeps the build output out of it.
• Fix opening the colour palette of a note breaking the rest of the editor: it was added with innerHTML +=, which re-parses the whole note being edited, so every field came back as a new element. The format toolbar stopped appearing from then on, and what you typed afterwards no longer counted as a change.
• Close the colour palette when the editor closes. It used to stay open, hanging over the next note opened.
• Give "Colors" in the navigation the same icon as the colour button of the editor. It was showing a magnifying glass.
• Fix the format toolbar of the editor being dressed by the wrong stylesheet: the base styles of MediumEditor were loaded after the theme of the app that is meant to override them, so the buttons kept a 15px padding that squashed their icons — the link-to-a-note one visibly.
• Stop leaving a share behind when the person who made it loses access: taking a note back from somebody who had passed it on now takes their reshares with it, all the way down a chain.
• Leave archived and trashed notes out of the dashboard widget. They were shown there all along, which only became obvious once archiving became personal.
• Remove the Errors controller trait, which caught an exception class that does not exist in this app. Nothing used it, and the documentation was recommending it.
• Sharing a note now shares its attachments. They used to vanish without a trace for the people it was shared with — the app asked whether they could reach the file, and answered by dropping the attachment from the note — with a line in the share dialog telling them to go and share the files by hand. The app serves them itself now, to anybody who can see the note, reading each file with the authority of whoever attached it. Nothing is shared in Files: there is no copy, nothing to keep in sync, and access ends when the note stops being shared.
• Attachments of a note you cannot reach in your own Files offer a download instead of a link into Files, which is where they used to point at nothing.
• Lay the attachments of a note out as a mosaic instead of a row that got thinner with every file: one fills the space, two split it, three are one tall plus two stacked, four are a 2x2, five are two over three, six are a 3x2. Beyond that the note card shows six and counts the rest, and the editor shows them all in rows of three.
• Fix the "delete attachment" button of the editor showing no icon at all: it asked for a class that never existed — the name of a CSS variable — so it was a grey circle with nothing in it.
• Show the icon of the file type for an attachment with no preview — a pdf, a zip — instead of an empty tile.
• Attachments open in the Nextcloud viewer, the ones somebody else attached included — images, video and audio, which are the types the viewer itself handles. Anything else keeps opening the way it did.
• Anybody who can edit a shared note can attach files to it, not just its owner: each file is served from the storage of whoever attached it, and only they can take it off the note again. An attachment of somebody who is no longer part of the note stops being shown and served with it.
• Archiving is personal. Anybody who can see a note can take it out of their own grid without touching anybody else's, which is the only way out for a note shared with a group: that share is not theirs to leave. The existing archived notes are kept, as archived by their owner.
• The "leave" icon of a shared note is now only offered where leaving actually works — a share made with you personally — instead of failing with an explanation afterwards.
• Deleting a note that is not yours answers "not found" instead of pretending it worked.
• Reminders are personal. Everybody who can see a note can set their own date on it, including on a note shared read only, and nobody sees anybody else's: the reminder moved from the note to the same per-user table as the pin. The existing ones are kept, as reminders of the note's owner.
• The reminder is saved the moment it is picked instead of waiting for the note to be saved — which is what lets it work on a note you are not allowed to edit.
• The read-only editor of a shared note now offers the reminder button, the one thing it can still do.
• The virtual calendar shows each user their own reminders, on their notes and on the ones shared with them.
• Cancel the reminder of everybody, not just the owner's, when a note is trashed or deleted; and drop one silently when the user turns out to have lost access to the note in the meantime.
• Fix rescheduling a reminder also dismissing the "shared with you" notification of the same note: the two are told apart now.
• Rewrite sharing. A note can now be shared with permissions — "can view", "can edit" and "can reshare" — and with groups, not just with single users. Editing a shared note is real collaboration: the recipient writes the title and the content of the same note, and the owner keeps the colour, the attachments, the reminder, archiving and deleting.
• Shares are applied the moment they are made, instead of travelling inside the note and being written on save. Sharing a note no longer depends on remembering to save it, and an old browser tab can no longer revoke a share made in another one.
• New share dialog: the people and groups a note is shared with, with their avatars and a menu to change what each of them may do. The user search runs on the server through the collaborator search of Nextcloud, so it finds groups and honours the sharing settings of the instance — and the app no longer pulls every user of the instance on page load.
• Pinning is now per user: pinning a note somebody shared with you no longer pins it for them. Tags on a shared note were already personal and now behave like it, showing yours rather than the owner's.
• Refuse to overwrite an edit made elsewhere. Saving sends the state the note was read in, and if somebody else saved in the meantime the app asks whether to overwrite their version or reload. The grid also refreshes itself when the tab comes back to the front.
• Notify people when a note is shared with them, and withdraw the notification when it is unshared.
• Search now finds the notes shared with you, which only the dashboard did.
• The v1 API is at 1.4: an attachment carries download_url, link_url, user_id, is_mine, basename and mime, its preview_url is served by the app, and redirect_url / deep_link_url are null for whoever cannot reach the file in their Files.
• The v1 API is at 1.3: archivedAt is now the caller's rather than the note's, POST /notes/{id}/archive and /unarchive answer to anybody who can see the note, the payload gained canLeave, and DELETE /notes/{id} answers 404 on a note the caller does not own.
• The v1 API is at 1.2: reminderAt and reminderNotifiedAt are now those of whoever asks rather than the note's, and PUT /notes/{id}/reminder takes a reminder from anybody who can see the note instead of only from its owner.
• The v1 API is at 1.1: the note payload gained permissions, canEdit, canReshare, isOwner, owner, sharedByMe and etag, sharedBy is now an object instead of a list of one, and sharedWith carries shares rather than user ids. PUT /notes/{id} takes everything but the title and the content as optional, and still accepts sharedWith from the owner.
• Ship the sharing icons with the app: the share button of the editor and the badge of a shared note rendered blank since Nextcloud 34 stopped serving the icon stylesheet.
• Add note reminders: a note can carry a date, and a background job sends a Nextcloud notification when it falls due. Sending a note to the trash cancels its reminder; archiving does not.
• Add a Reminders entry to the navigation, filtering the grid down to the notes that carry one.
• Publish the notes with a reminder as a read-only calendar, so they show up in the Calendar app and in CalDAV clients. It is generated from the notes on every read, so editing or deleting a note is reflected right away. Off by default, there is a checkbox in the app settings.
• Fix the Settings button of the navigation opening nothing: it relied on the data-apps-slide-toggle jQuery plugin, which Nextcloud 34 removed.
• Fix the format toolbar of the note editor being drawn behind the modal since the overlay was raised to the NcModal z-index.
• Ship the calendar icon with the app: Nextcloud 34 no longer serves the icon-* stylesheet the app used to rely on, so it rendered blank.
