Get rid of “Empty Note” unless Note is Focused

So I created a Reading project, with notes for each book I am reading and their due dates. As such there is no need to have any text content inside them. Just title and date.

However, this results in a very non-minimal and cluttered interface:

48%20am
48%20am2742×1706 433 KB

Now I can manually double click the spacer on each one to make them collapsed, but then that is still unnecesarily cluttered, as it is effort that should not be needed and it shows “…” when there is no content that is hidden:

39%20am

Plus there is also a bug for me where once it is collapsed, it can’t be uncollapsed. Video of it here.

It would just be a lot nicer if none of this was necessary. Where if a note has no content, only its title row is shown. When you click it, then it expands and “Empty note” is there, and you can add content.

While I can see the use case I don’t think we’ll hide the indicator, even when the note has no content as there won’t be a way to discriminate between a collapsed and uncollapsed note.

We’ll have a look at the uncollapsing issue, thanks for reporting!

A quick update, we narrowed down the issue to be caused by the fact that you double-click the collapsed note indicator (I noticed in the video) while a single click works as it should. In the next update this shouldn’t be a problem anymore, then it will also support a double click.
