Add 'close note' method

[macsunmood]

Expected behaviour

• a closeNote method should close tab with a given Note.

Along with 'Fetch a list of all notes with tag(s)' (#2582), "Jump to a note tag" (#2584), as well as already existing 'Set current note' features, this would allow making full Tabs Sessions support.

What use would such a function have?

What use would such a function have?

It will allow switching different sets of tabs layouts (Workspaces or Sessions).

How would you know which tabs are open?

How would you know which tabs are open?

Maybe keep a fetchable list of currently open notes, or a corresponding attribute should be added to the NoteApi?

[pbek]

All those take a long time to implement (for one single user 😉). But feel feel to open a feature request...

[macsunmood]

What else needed to open a feature request besides this existing issue?

[macsunmood]

So, can this issue be labeled as a feature request, or another one should be created ?

[pbek]

Yes

[pbek]

It's a bit tricky. There will more like an API to close a note tab at a specific index (0 ... n).

22.8.4

• there now is a new scripting command mainWindow.removeNoteTab(index) to
  close a note tab on a specific index (for #2592)
  • for more information please take a look at the
    MainWindow scripting documentation

[pbek]

There now is a new release, could you please test it and report if it works for you?

[macsunmood]

Thank you! It works pretty well, but now I need a way to retrieve a list of all open tabs containing their notes.
Maybe some Q_PROPERTY for MainWindow as by analogy Q_PROPERTY(QQmlListProperty<NoteApi> notes) exists for TagApi?

You could create a feature request, but with the APIs I created over the last weeks for you are already able to close all open tabs and load a new set of tabs when the workspace is changed. So I'm eagerly awaiting a first version of a script as pull request on https://github.com/qownnotes/scripts 😉
