Where does Laverna store my notes? #482

Open ghost opened 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

I want to commit to using Laverna for journal keeping. I have started keeping entries, but when a new version of Laverna arrives, how will I be able to open my entries in the new version? It's not straightforward to me since there was no installer and there is no within-the-app update option. That is, I think when the new version is released, I will simply download the zip and unpack it. But then how will I transfer my notes? Please enlighten me so I can keep using Laverna.

I see, I guess I will just export and import data. It would be nice to have option to export into plain txt or other formats. Also, will there be support for tagging?

Tagging is currently supported through the # character.

I noticed that words get formatted into a gray box when you use # in front of them but I don't see the function. That is, those tags don't seem to appear anywhere else in Laverna.

They do show up, but you're right, it's not clear. You can find them under "Notebooks" in the navbar. I submitted a PR to make that bit clearer (#489)

I have the same problem. I am on an Ubuntu-like Linux (GalliumOS). I figured out, that the dropbox login button is active after a reboot. But the registration cannot be completed: After I have entered my 2-Factor code, the registration process is just not processing and the window stays open.

I am on OSX and simply overwrote the existing laverna.app. Does that mean I lost all of my notes? Hopefully not, but I didn't see an explicit answer here about where the note data is stored. Does anyone know where that is?

Edit: I downgraded from 0.7.3 back to 0.7.1 and the notes were still there so it's definitely keeping it somewhere else. I'll make sure to export next time.
