Issues With Understanding What I Happening In Chat With Archives

[grayerbeard]

Describe the bug

As I put in Issue on Github my first impression was that I was loosing stuff that I had written in Chat but on further investigation it had been archived without me realizing and it sometimes an unexpected way. With material from a chat going into a note without me doing it.

Environment

• OS: windows
• SystemSculpt AI Version: Latest (Please ensure you're using the latest version before submitting)

To Reproduce

Start a chat, then do a sequence of opening a note to copy chat into and using actions to start new not, depending on exact sequence it can seem as if material disappeard but actiually I think it always gets archived. But to the user its confusing and seems like a malfunction. I recomend a verbose mode is used by default (which can be turned off) where background actions produce a prompt explaining what has been done.

I am not dev, obviously, but I'll chip in here to say that I've also been confused by this, but never had any doubt that anything was lost. Starting a chat clearly generates a new .md file, which is saved in /SystemSculpt/Chats by default. I've not really understood the purpose of the archive action; that just seems to move that .md file into a further subfolder. But I do appreciate there isn't a 'Save Chat' button because it's created and saved as the chat goes on in that .md file. The one thing that I can't work out is how you can pick up a chat that you were having sometime in the past and carry on as if it was a continuous chat. I see that you can access the .md file, but I can't see a way of making it 'active' in the chat window. This is obviously different from your issue. But to summarize, my observation of your issue is, yes indeed, the chat automatically gets created in a note and saved within the SS folders; the very top of the chat window is a link to that .md file. I think Dev would probably call that a feature.

Thanks you have clarified several things and I think for me I will be mostly OK. However there are several aspects of that process that are less than intuitive so I feel my comment about some sort of verbose mode that can be switched off might be the answer.

Thank you @grayerbeard and @ChrisBBBB for letting me know that it's not as intuitive as it should be - for now until I make it better, you can open a previous chat through the "Actions"

(as you can see here)

and then "Open Chat History"

which will then open up all of your chats you've ever had before.

Again, I will make this way more intuitive. Thanks and I'll keep this thread open until I fix/update it :)
