Description Rafael Linux User 2014-06-09 07:53:23 UTC

Knotes duplicated notes showed in my desktop at KDE start. All hidden notes stay as unique notes.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start KDE
2.Notes showed last KDE session, appears twice
3.Some time after this issue is showed, Knotes show a "Conflict resolution" showing duplicated notes to user, letting him choose an action about those notes.
Actual Results:  
Despite I choose to keep "Note on left", Knotes keep both notes.

Expected Results:  
To not duplicate notes showed last KDE session.

kNotes duplicated all my notes.

This happened after updates (to most current version) and migration of notes.

I deleted the duplicate notes, but wonder how reliable kNotes finally is, because with the last update other migration problems happened (see my corresponding but filing).

I suppose I'll switch to a simple text editor some time, simply because it's reliable and kNotes seems not to be.
Why should I entrust repeatedly incompetent programmers with my work/data/notes?

Even if I like kNotes from it's visual aspect and integration to the desktop, the core function of keeping notes as they are MUST work RELIABLY even over UPDATES and whatnots, otherwise it is made USELESS by whoever administers new code.

I agree.  Since I upgraded to Knotes KDE 4.13 branch,  I can't use Knotes
to send notes to other KDE desktop PC's in my LAN.

This issue is solved, but sometimes, after log in KDE, notes are dissapeared, and I need to exit from KNotes and launch it again to make it appear!!!
