Cant be add storage direct address after update v0.8.7

Hi, @ymow. I cannot reproduce this issue. Let me know your environment?

[asmsuechan]

@ymow Oh, you seem to add a folder located in /Volumes, it's not good. Because Boostnote probably doesn't have R/W permission to the directory. I recommend you to create your folder in your $HOME directory.

[ymow]

but I can save there in last version.
OK, thanks for quickly reply, appreciated for your work.

Umm, it's weird... Can you add your folder in under $HOME?

I had the same issue. I then tried moving the storage components to the local drive and reloading, no dice.

I also rolled back to 0.8.6 and the issue persisted, no mounted volumes involved at all this time.

Creating an entirely new storage folder failed as well. Refreshing the app (cmd+r) much less restarting it, would remove the entire storage list.

OSX: 10.11.6
BoostNotes: 0.8.7 (initially)

Hi, @1ps0. Thank you for reporting. Sorry for inconvenient. Umm, I cannot reproduce it... 😨 Where was the storage located? And Could you try it again with keeping developer console open?

I created an encrypted dmg specifically for note storage, mounted and aimed the initial storage there. It worked great until I did a restart/security patch (hmm that might be important). Then it just wouldn't acknowledge any data stored in any location.

From the dev console. I'm back on 0.8.7.

When I first load the app.

// warning
boostnote.json file doesn't exist the given path 
// error. the volume isn't mounted
Uncaught Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/Volumes/NO NAME/boostnote.json'

When I try to create a new note w/storage added in menu, but it doesn't show up in main UI

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'folders' of undefined

Adding storage doesn't throw any errors.

When I look in ~/Library/Application Support/boost/Local Storage/, the file__0.localstorage file has multiple locations setup in storages[], so my guess is that it's going for index 0 or something.

If there was any action item I would suggest, maybe list out known storages in the Settings UI, even if they're not working, and allow for purging them.

Gonna purge that whole Local Storage folder and start from scratch. I expect it would fix my issue.

Update: Yep that fixed it.

@asmsuechan yes, I set direction at Desktop also has the same issue.

[ymow]

I got a boostnote.json in desktopn direction.
It's content as below
{
"folders": [],
"version": "1.0"
}

Is it correct?
