Description Rafael Linux User 2024-09-18 10:13:27 UTC

SUMMARY
I have more than 20 notes in Knotes. Now I can't access it because suddenly Plasma no longer has KNotes available to install. I have installed marknote to import the notes, but after doing the process, none of the notes I have created with Knotes appear.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open marknote
2. "Menu -> Import -> Import from Knotes"
3. Enter "My old Knotes notes" in "Name" field and leave icon and color as they are
4. Click "Import" button

OBSERVED RESULT
A new "Bloc of notes" calle "My old Knotes notes" appear, but if I click on it, no notes appear in right panel.

EXPECTED RESULT
To show my notes from Knotes

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I had a Knotes issue from one year ago, after some KNotes release. Knotes did not show any note (no notes at all) till I close Knotes (totally) and launched it again. Then all my Knotes were there.

KNotes delayed autostart

No file access might be a limitation of the flatpak sandbox like bug 493633 ???

PS: My KNotes is in autostart and it regularly fails to load the notes, so I made a custom starter with a delay - see screenshot

Thank you very much for the idea. I'll take note.  

Tired of waiting for a response, I found a solution myself by opening the Knotes notes with KMail one by one and keeping them in my own folder. I will not use either Knotes (because they simply no longer allow us) or Marknote (after seeing that their attention to problems is the same as Knotes'). I am learning to stop using KDE applications.
