Unable to change font color #442

Open dekernel0 opened 6 years ago

dekernel0 commented 6 years ago

I seem to have issue with changing the font color (or highlighting color) on text. I can see the Font Color and Highlight button, but when I click on them, there is no window opening to allow for color selection. I do see these entries in Message Log window.

ERROR 2018-06-11 15:17:58.059 ( sql/tagtable.cpp @ 395 ) Unknown Tag record key: 1004 ERROR 2018-06-11 15:17:58.061 ( sql/tagtable.cpp @ 395 ) Unknown Tag record key: 1004 ERROR 2018-06-11 15:23:46.135 ( sql/tagtable.cpp @ 395 ) Unknown Tag record key: 1004

Any ideas?

I have similar problems. Highlighting works, but when I want to change font color nothing happens. Error message is the same:

ERROR 2018-07-27 08:55:00.671 ( sql/tagtable.cpp @ 395 ) Unknown Tag record key: 1004

Nixnote 2.02 on MX Linux.

Hi. The message with 1004 isn't really a problem you can safely ignore it - its just a pollution in log file (see https://github.com/baumgarr/nixnote2/issues/363 for more details). Has nothing to do with your color problem.

As the upstream repository unfortunately seems to be a bit dead now, I did a lot of bugfixing myself and also added some features. Setting colors works in my version. You can try my v2.1 alpha version. The AppImage binary should run on all recent distributions. See CHANGELOG.

@robert7 Thanks for the info and your work on this. I think I don't want to use such an early release but rather wait for a more stable (beta) version.

dekernel0 commented 6 years ago

@robert7 I have a secondary VM setup that I test all updates before I update/upgrade my workstation so I am more than happy to test out your alpha build on that machine. I recently switched from Win7 to openSuSE so I might need some help installing your version (never used appimage before so I need to research some). It won't be until the weekend though.

I might need some help installing your version

Basically there is no install procedure. You just download one file, mark as executable & run it - see wiki FAQ

I was able to run the app, and I was able to see the drop-downs. What is ironic is that your tool tips indicated that I had to click and hold the button to see the drop down. When I tried that on the original app, the drop downs appeared as well.

With that, I am currently subscribing to "home:vyermolc" for my openSuSE to maintain NixNote2, and I seem to get updates once every other week. Do you plan doing much development on NixNote2?

and I seem to get updates once every other week.

You probably get the same version recompiled version every week :) So no real update just some bits shuffled.

Do you plan doing much development on NixNote2?

I want to make it usable for me. So I added some features I need (like simple sorting results by relevance and format cleanup/simplify). I anyone can profit from it, then great.

robert7 commented 6 years ago

I will maybe do some more development later, if I will see that people are using the new version. Unfortunately it seems as the main repository is currently dead, the most people will just conclude, that there isn't anything new and will just go away. But I will at least make the 2.1 release someway stable.

dekernel0 commented 6 years ago

At this point, the current version of NixNote2 seems to work just fine for me so I think I might stay with my current setup. With that, I am a paying customer of Evernote so if you ever need some alpha/beta testing, please feel free to send me a message, and I will see what I can do for you.
