Notes disappear after 0.3.0 update #380
Comments
I have a similar problem in that all my notes are gone and cannot be imported. @shimotoriharuki In previous versions, I had saved my notes in a Dropbox folder as local storage, but when trying to import them (as outlined in the "Preferences" > "Import" screen) I am informed that the files are invalid. I updated from 0.1.3 to 0.3.0 from on my Windows machine, and on my (still) 0.1.3 Ubuntu I can still work on those notes. I just installed 0.1.4 and the import worked for some of the files. Some examples of my notes, as marked by the "import" feature: |
Thank you for your response. @mhkehrein I'll wait for a response on the issue of not being able to import notes. However, the problem still remains, As @mhkehrein says, local storage for the old 'Boostnote' has been found. (In my case it was in OneDrive), but what I want to find is local storage for the new 'Boost Note', not the old 'Boostnote'. That's because the disappearing notes I'm looking for are the ones I created with the new 'Boost Note'. I'd like to find local storage for the new 'Boost Note' to revive it. Do you know where it is? I searched everything in my computer for '.cson', assuming that the new '.Boost Note' notes file is also '.cson' as well as the old '.Boostnote'. But it was not found. I wonder if it's a different format? Or does the new 'Boost Note' have no local storage by default in the first place? Thank you for your answer. |
The new Boost Note stores the notes in a database file, which can be found in |
@Flexo013 Thank you very much. I hope this problem is solved. |
@shimotoriharuki Btw, I need more context to help you. Do you lost some notes? or whole cloud storage? But you might have a chance to retrieve them. PouchDB works like github does. So you might have identical DB in your browser(or the app). To find it, please do like the below.
If it does still exist, I probably could make some tools to retrieve data from missing db. And please join our slack and send direct message to me so I can help you more efficiently and faster. I also can speak Japanese so you can send messages to me in Japanese. |
@mhkehrein FYI, we are not going to support snippet notes in this app. We are probably going to make another app just for snippet notes once this app is settled. So if you need both note types, please keep using old BoostNote app. We will keep maintaining it until the new app can do most of things of the old app. |
Other people who have same problem, please join slack and send a direct message to me. I'm using same user name, @Rokt33r, in there too. |
I succeeded to recover shimotoriharuki's missing storage. I guess there was a problem when upgrading v0.1.3 to v0.3.0. But this problem probably won't happen anymore from v0.3.0. If there are any other people having similar problems, please join our slack and ping me, @Rokt33r, or create another issue than this. |
FYI, this is how I did recover shimotoriharuki's storage.

Current behavior
When I updated to Boost Note 0.3.0, some of the notes disappeared. Can it be revived?
Just in case, I looked for the '.cson' file with reference to this site, but I couldn't find it.
The place I looked for is 'C:\Users \ -- \AppData\Local\Programs\boostnote'.
Expected behavior
Resurrect the notebook.
