Incompatibility with High Sierra? APFS? #365

Open proksch opened 7 years ago

proksch commented 7 years ago

Hey guys,

I really love this app and I use it multiple times each day. However, I realized that it does no longer work for me in the current beta of macOS High Sierra. :/ Whenever I create a new note, I receive the following error:

Changed notes could not be saved because a parameter was invalid.

The file for the note is being created, but it stays empty. Whenever I restart NV, the contents of the note are gone.

I am using NV 2.0 β5 (8) and have configured it to store unencrypted plain-text files. OS-wise, I am using the Public Beta 3 of High Sierra (build 17A315i) and I have formatted my disk with APFS (if this makes a difference).

Please let me know, if I can provide you with any more details that help you pin-point the problem.

best Sebastian

@oin Were you planning to submit a PR with your changes? If not, I might have some time to make fixes on master, but I don't want to duplicate work.

@jtbandes latest master branch commit reflects oin’s changes.

I see! So maybe no more immediate changes are needed :) Is this issue resolved then?

I'm not sure it's relevant here, but having used my fork intensely for a few weeks I witnessed duplicated and disappearing files. Again, I'm not sure it's related. I made some other changes in my fork (posterior to the commit here), and I was storing note files on an iCloud Drive folder on 10.14. However, it only occurred with NV. Not looking to have my issue fixed but I'm leaving this here for the record in case someone has similar issues.
