[SUPPORT] Bookmarks/Shortcuts get lost when closing QOwnNotes

[Mr-Rayman]

When closing QOwnNotes all assigned bookmarks get lost. On reopening, none of the shortcuts to bookmarks work anymore.
Thus, bookmarks work just within one session which isn't ideal. Is this expected behavior or a bug?

From my point of view it would be perfect, if bookmarks are saved across sessions (e.g. in QOwnNotes sqlite database). Also it would be nice to have a little visualization of the bookmark positions at the left or right border of the QOwnNotes editor.

I'm refering to most recent QOwnNotes version 23.12.4 on Windows.

Thanks!

Can you please post the output from the debug settings (see issue template).
And is there any useful log output if you enable the log panel (see Window / Panels)? Please make sure you also enable debug logging in the log panel (by right-clicking on the panel and selecting Debug in Options).

[Mr-Rayman]

Please see the debug information attached. I checked the log output. The log ouput is normal while setting and jumping to bookmarks, (I use the German translation, so it's 'Note position set as bookmark 1' and 'Jumped to bookmark 1'). After closing and re-opening QOwnNotes and pressing 'Ctrl+1' nothing happens and nothing is reported to the log output (other unrelated debug messages are reported okay).

Just for my interest: What is the expected behavior? Are bookmarks actually saved to the QOwnNotes database and restored everytime QOwnNotes is opened?

Ah, you meant bookmarks to note positions, not browser bookmarks. They are not persisted, didn't make a lot of sense to me back then, because the whole note folder could change while the app is closed, but maybe I'll persist them in the future.

23.12.5

• note bookmarks will now be persisted and restored when the application starts

There now is a new release, could you please test it and report if it works for you?

Perfect! Thank you very much for the fast implementation. I've tested and it works fine! That saves me a lot of navigation-clicks during my daily work!

I have my note folder and it's files (notes.sqlite ..) on a network-share that is being used by different computers (work, home, ..). From what I see the note bookmarks are saved locally on each computer and not beside the notes on the network-share, so each computer saves it's own bookmark positions. That is still fine by me, as the persistence is the most important thing :-)

Great, thank you for testing!
Yes, they are stored as normal settings.
