Comment 4 for bug 731037

I also like you concept!

The only difference is, that with my concept you can't view only notes without notebook
and with your concept you can't view all notes in one list at once.

Tomboy has a sidepanel with the notebooks and a "default notebook" saying "All Notes". This could be also implemented in your concept. However, we could also integrate a notebook "no notebook" in my concept to show only toplevel notes.

Setups without notebooks (may be the majority) will always have just the note-list displayed.

I think, it is just a matter of taste, if you would like the notebooks within your notes or in a separate list.

We probably should think a bit more into the future: How to create new notebooks, how to associate notes with a notebook, how to delete notebooks...

In my concept: we have a list with the notebooks, "All notes" on top and selected by default. the last entry (or a menu entry) could be "add new Notebook".
In you concept a menu entry would be possible to add new notebooks (as well as a longpress option)

adding notes would be possible when viewing the notebook with a menu entry "add notes to notebook" -> leads to list where you can check/select notes -> button done/cancel.

deleting notebooks can also be done with a menu entry, or with longpress option.

I agree this should be discussed by a broader audience. Would you like to create a bluepring and/or write to the mailing list? you can copy past important stuff from here, I think.
