Metadata not synchronized across devices #9

Closed WPum closed 2 years ago

WPum commented 2 years ago

To Reproduce:

  1. Create a note on device A
  2. Sync it to device B, and star it on device B
  3. Sync it back to device A

Expected: note on device A is starred Actual: note on device A is not starred. However, the note record in ~neutrinote_app_data.txt is updated

@WPum Step 4 is needed:

Side navigation bar -> Restore App Data

Hope this helps.

WPum commented 2 years ago

Yes, that works. I'm using Syncthing and frequently change between devices. Can I set the app to automatically restore the data when changes are detected in ~neutrinote_app_data.txt (by modification time)?

appml commented 2 years ago

@WPum It is a little more complex than by comparing modification time and there seems not a fast scalable way to determine which versions contain the latest changes.
