Issue After Fedora 35 re-install Sticky Notes applet will not import saved notes from a JSON file exported in the previous installation of Fedora 35. Tried to import 2 separate instances of {file}.jason but neither will import any previously exported notes.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Exported Note as JSON to separate drive and cloud drive through applet "Configure" menu

  2. Reinstalled same OS.

  3. Reinstalled same Sticky Notes applet via "Add Desklets" in Cinnamon

  4. Right click status bar sticky notes icon/configure

  5. Chose "Import from File" from burger menu tab

  6. Choose path to previously saved stickynote.json

  7. No stick note imported

  8. Created blank stick note clicked on blank sticky note to prompt configure menu

  9. Went through steps above from step 5.

  10. Still not importing saved note text. Tried with 2 seprate saved stickynote .json files...no luck

Expected behaviour Expected previously exported stickynote.json to be imported.

Json files are text files so maybe a temporary solution would be to examine your saved .json file to try to figure out why it isn't working. You could save another temporary .json file from the applet so that you something to compare it with. Maybe there's an obvious difference that you could edit in order to save your data or maybe not? In any case, you should make a backup of your .json file before editing it.
