Mass conversion from Super to Markdown or Plain does not work #3668

Open hausler89 opened 4 months ago

hausler89 commented 4 months ago

Describe the bug When trying to convert multiple Super Notes to another format, like Plain Text, it doesn't do the conversion. Instead, it sets the new type and leaves behind the Super's JSON.

This essentially locks the user into Standard Notes, as it hurdles switching to other systems and transferring their data.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create several Super Notes
  2. Mark all Super Notes
  3. Change their type to Plain Text
  4. Inspect one of the "converted" notes.

Expected behavior All Notes should pop up the conversion dialog and preview the conversion. This works when going the other way round - mass conversion from Markdown to Super Notes does indeed pop up the conversion dialog.

I'm also seeing the same issue on AppImage 3.195.2 on both Ubuntu and Webview. I'm trying to convert 2+ notes to MD and I get no popup. The "converted" note is un-readable. Selecting a single note and converting it to MD works. This needs to get fixed. Please have someone look at it.
