Thanks for reporting. I can reproduce the bug and am looking into fixing it.

By the way, is there a reason why it's failing to get the note list from the server? Did you have an internet connection at the time? I suspect there would be a few places it would crash if it fails in something when creating the database and syncing for the first time. (in fact, it would probably be better if it crashed ealier instead of continuing with a broken db)

@swalladge Thanks for the fix. I was just trying it. I haven't set up any server connection so I suspect that was the cause. But the failure still seemed like a bad way to signal it to the user so I reported it.
