Restore Storage Location #2857

Open ghost opened 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

I am sorry for opening an issue about this but I do not seem to be able to restore my notes from a previous storage folder with a new Boostnote installation. How is this done? Thank you.

Can you describe more about your problem? Was the storage folder deleted or it doesn't show up in the app?

@ZeroX-DG The storage folder is fine, but pointing to it again doesn't show my Notes in Boostnote.

I am experiencing the same issue with restoring notes and it is affecting the creation/editing of new notes.

can you open the console and show the error messages?

This issue is still open, and I just recently found it because somehow I lost all notes that were in a particular storage location. The underlying boostnote.json file, and folder named notes with all the underlying *.cson files are still there...

I got them back, but what wasn't obvious to me was that I had to point the new storage at the folder that contains the boostnote.json file, not the notes directory one level down.
