Description stakanov.s 2014-07-28 19:10:02 UTC

Create a note in knotes. Save it and exit knotes.
Open Kontact and set summary view to show notes available. The note created beforehand will show up. Now try the following:
click on the link. 
Desired result: Knotes should open and you should view the note. Actual result: nothing happens. 
Now open manually Knotes. Then go to the summary page of Kontact. Try to view the note clicking on it. 
Desired result: Knotes should now open and you should see the note. Actual result: nothing happens. 
The same is true for the function "edit the note" if you "right-click" on the link. The function is offered but in both cases as of above nothing happens. 
Version: KDE 4.13.3 Version of Kontact 4.13.3 Version of Knotes: 4.13.3
Repeatable: always

Proven in opensuse 13.1 (bottle) 64 bit. Packages from the KDE stable repo.

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

This is not easy because the program gives not much info. 
This is from opensuse Leap 15 (with Plasma 5.12.6, Framesworks 5.45.0, QT 5.9.4)
We agree that "this bug has been stagnant for a long time". Exactly for 4 years without any attention. 

The Knote in Leap 15 is broken. AFAIK, it was broken already in 42.1,2 and 3. 
First: version: no version information is given in knotes. 
Second: when selected "show number of notes in the tray" this has no effect in the tray.
Third: when opening the notes in Kontakt (5.7.3) they can be seen, modified and saved. But they cannot leave the window, cannot be attached to any desktop and are therefore completely useless. 
Forth: when selecting "remember desktop where the notes are shown" is selected but has not effect. 
Fifth. When opening the knotes plamoid / app / widget or how you want to call it, the same applies: notes done there are not shown in knotes in kontact, they cannot be ripped off and left on any desktop. When placed into the tray as a tray app or to the panel as an app, they simply do not work. 
There is therefore no useful functionality in current (Leap) Knotes and in the widget that seem not to work at all.

KNotes is no longer maintained since 24.08.

Please migrate to Marknote. https://apps.kde.org/marknote/
