[organizing] Sort notes in notebooks

[mrkramps]

Xpad lacks managment of large collections of notes. Especially when notes are related to different topics. Would be nice if one can sort notes in different "notebooks".

By "notebooks" I was just thinking of named folders within the configuration directory holding the notes. Reorganisisation of the tray icon menu to show a "New notebook" entry and submenues for each notebook folder. The "New" entry could be moved to the submenues to create new notes in the corresponding notebook/folder. A function to move notes between those notebooks would be great then.

I am fully aware of how many code changes might be required to implement this and my "blueprint" is quite sketchy. It is just meant as a suggested feature I currently miss in Xpad → Wishlist.

Thinking about this recently I guess it might be easier to implement some kind of tags (in terms of keywords) instead of grouping notes in directories. Such tags could be stored directly within a note file and checked when toggling visibility. If note has tag show/hide, if not do not show/hide.

Tags could be predefined (in an additional file e.g.) and added as entries to a submenu of the tray icon to toggle visibility. Having them predefined would not required to dynamically build a tag list from reading all tags from all notes. Unknown tags could just be ignored.
