TypeError when opening classic Boostnote storage

[tewe]

Current behavior

When first launching Boost Note, I didn't know that the storage format had changed, and gave it the path to my Boostnote data. This resulted in the following.

TypeError: Cannot read property '/' of
undefined

I assume this refers to my old boostnote.json having a "folders" object instead of the new "folderMap" with its "/" key.

Expected behavior

An import wizard. Or at least an error message pointing to some documentation.

Steps to reproduce

1. run Boostnote
2. create some notes
3. install Boost Note
4. give it the existing folder

Environment

Desktop/Web

• Boost Note.next version: 0.14.1
• OS version and name: macOS 10.13.6

Hi, tewe,

Sorry for the trouble, but Boost Note next is a completely new application, it's not just that storage changed, migration tutorial can be found here: https://medium.com/boostnote/how-to-migrate-data-from-old-boostnote-efd8a5c7aa7d

I agree that if we could easily detect such a case, we could notify the user that this is a new boost note and advise learning how to import the legacy storage into a new boost note.

I wrote a script to export from the old Boost Note format to a completely different application, hence the inactivity.
