Description Fabiano Sidler 2004-03-23 10:01:04 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc-3.3.2 
OS:          Linux

I rm`d the .kde/share/apps/knotes directory several times, but there is no solution. After the next restart, black notes titled "[Action]" or "[Data]" appear from the hell. Under KDE3.2.0, it still worked correctly.

Thanks for the report, the bug is fixed already.

Comment 2 Jason Salaz 2004-04-12 02:51:37 UTC

Since this issue seems to be resolved already, why not post a patch for it, instead of us needing to download the CVS updates?  I am using 3.2.1 also, under Fedora, and I'm having the same issue.  Do I really need to get the CVS updates to make sure that this message bombardment doesn't happen again?

Thanks.

Comment 3 Michael Brade 2004-04-13 00:08:52 UTC

Hmm, it is actually provided :) Just do a
  cvs diff -r 1.9 -r 1.10 knoteslegacy.cpp > patch
  cvs diff -r 1.5 -r 1.6 knoteslegacy.h >> patch

However, if you can apply a patch you have the source code anyway. So why not 
use the KDE_3_2_BRANCH code instead with *all* the fixes I did up to now? Or 
just upgrade to the kdepim/knotes packages for KDE 3.2.2 :)

In my installation i get [Action] and [Display] notes at every start of KNotes, too. So it seems not te be resolved nor fixed...

Hey, you need to delete those notes yourself first, of course! (or, at least, 
the config files for those notes in $KDEHOME/share/apps/knotes/notes). They 
won't disappear magically by themselves, I just fixed the bug that they were 
_created_ at all, it should never happen again. 

However, if you can reproduceably _create_ some of them again, that'd be a 
bummer and worth investigating :-/

Ok, it seems to work properly now. Thanks for your fast help!
