Joplin debug tool

This plugin adds a panel that shows information about the selected notes(s). At present, this information isn't very user-friendly — it's presented roughly as fetched from Joplin's data API.

This plugin supports both Joplin Desktop >= 2.14 and Joplin Mobile >= 3.0.

Features

Note info panel

This plugin adds a "note info" panel to Joplin's UI. The panel can be hidden with the "View" > "Show/Hide note info" menu item.

The fields shown in the plugin are a subset of the fields stored for different items in Joplin's database.

Showing information for a specific note, notebook, or resource

To show the information for a specific note or resource ID, click on the text box to the right of the ID header:

Next, paste a new ID (or note link) into the ID box. Finally, click "GO":

Regular expression search

At the bottom of the info panel is a "search" dropdown:

By default, the search tool contained in the dropdown uses a regular expression to search through notes' title and body fields. The fields and type of item can be customized using the options in the "Advanced" dropdown.

A search scans Joplin's database and results are in the order returned by Joplin's data API.

Example searches

• All notes with an empty body:

  • Search field content: ^$
  • Advanced settings: Notes and fields: body.

• All SVG resources:

  • Search field content: image/svg
  • Advanced settings: Resources and fields: mime (for MIME type).

• All notes with nonbreaking spaces:

  • Search field content: \u00A0
  • Advanced settings: Notes and fields: body.

• Shared and/or published notes:

  • Search field content: 1
  • Advanced settings: Notes and fields: is_shared.

• Notes from Joplin's webclipper:

  • Search field content: .
  • Advanced settings: Notes and fields: source_url.
  • Explanation: Because a . means "any character", this query searches for all notes with a non-empty source_url. The Joplin webclipper associates a source_url with webclipped notes.
