Boostnote: Entire notes disappeared after adding/removing tags

Created on 2 Jan 2018  路  11Comments  路  Source: BoostIO/Boostnote

Created 2 notes under a folder. While adding/removing a tag to note it is replacing all the other notes in that folder. I lost all my notes because of this.

Content before adding tag:

1
2

After adding tag:

3
4

Please see screenshot 3. Notes content and the selected note snippet is showing different content. Happens while adding/removing tags

Thanks for all your efforts. please fix this asap as i lost all my notes because of this. Thanks in advance.

I think I'm running into this as well. At the very least, I somehow end up with multiple notes that have the same content, but different tags.

Looks like it's the same as #1352.

Thanks @alec-imperial-veeva , it's the same. @kazup01 I think this requires some attention. Before the fix, an alarm needs to be sent to user for not doing anything on tag function to prevent loss of notes.

Hi guys, sorry for the inconvenience. @sosukesuzuki fixed this bug at #1363, we will update to v0.8.20 soon.
Thank you for waiting!

Is there a way to recover notes that were lost? I had this happen to me as well.

I have seen that after deleting the message, sometimes they revert to their original state when using local storage. The best solution is to use something like dropbox and revert to a previous version.

@jnschrag You could make your storage folder a git repo and periodically push it.

Thanks for the suggestions! I store my notes in Google Drive and was able to revert to an older version of the files to get the originals.

Temporary binary for macOS without this issue

Hi all, v0.8.20 is out! This bug was fixed. Thanks for you guys waiting!

Release Note is here.
Enjoy Boostnote :)
