Description nador2 2024-05-20 14:44:31 UTC
SUMMARY
I would like have protection before accidentally erase of my notes (by typing in the note - for example situation like now for me - my child writed something into nice yellow square on the desktop - and my notes are lost)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. write note
2. accidentally delete or overwrite your note
3a. try renew original note - pressing ctrl+Z - nothing done
3b. or try to open versioning system - right click and find it in the menu - nothing happend

OBSERVED RESULT
nothing done, original note is lost


EXPECTED RESULT
I would like renew any older version of notes, at least few last (but as the best option I would like to have possibility to see all old versions of my note)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 23.10 / Plasma 5.27.8
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.110.0
Qt Version: 5.15.10

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Ctrl+Z should work to restore text as long as Plasma or the computer haven't been restarted.

Deleting the note shows a confirmation dialog asking you if you're really sure.

Anything more elaborate than those are probably a good idea in general, but would be a significant amount of work to implement.

Ctrzl-Z when I am trying now, it is working - but when I made this topic, it was not. So probably any other bug maybe in other part of KDE, I dont know and I dont know how to find it out. But some transparent versioning system would be very helpful anyway.

Deleting a note - my kid will be sure to erase it, but I will stay without my note.

Yes, I agree that it would be many work, but value of this instrument (KNotes) will grow up very much - instead of "own risk instrument" it would be very powerful, safe instrument with wider functionality. For example Google Docs has this functionality and it is really helpful. For sure it is up to you, but I mean, I would be not only man who would be very grateful for that.
