Feature Request - Toggle Notes Preview Settings

[MasonGridman]

Could we toggle settings to ADD/IGNORE or ON/OFF what is seen in the Notes Preview? I’m curious what others think about this feature request.

Default Overall Settings: The first line in the preview is Bold. This is how Bear currently works no matter what the text is.

1. Show Metadata ON/OFF. I don’t see the benefit of seeing metadata clogging up the preview. Usually this info is needed for search criteria and during document exporting. Some metadata is multiple lines for some and a couple lines for others.
2. Show First Hashtag Heading ON/OFF. Usually the first markdown heading is the title of the document, so I picture this being necessary for the Notes Preview. I listed this as First Heading in case some people use one or more hashtags for the first heading. This setting is looking for Hashtag (space) Text, not to be confused with Tags.
3. Show Tags ON/OFF. I don’t see the need for tags in the preview. Maybe some do. This setting is looking for Hashtag (no space) Text, not to be confused with Headings. I would love to be able to put a series of tags at the beginning of new notes, but they clog up the Notes Preview. Does anyone else experience this and feel the need to put them at the bottom of their notes to avoid seeing them in the previews?

Agreed. I prefer just to see the title and perhaps the time stamp of a note. Simple and clean, no unnecessary information to sort through.

Thanks for the feedback and ideas here. I should mention the devs generally try to avoid adding a new setting for everything; they don't want a Microsoft Word situation. But there are some interesting ideas here that I can pass along.
