Was it immediately after upgrade or did you get some use out of it first? Could you post the log? You can do this with Ctrl+l (letter L) which copies the log and then you paste it into your web browser, note app, etc.

It'll be a couple of days before I look into this.

Currently you cannot but you can always file an enhancement

Hi.
I added 2-3 notes after I installed the new version. Closed the app and re-opened it to make sure both old and new entries were there - and they were.

Yesterday I opened up Quicknote and all notes were gone.
I also noticed that my one custom category was gone.

(and yes, I've made sure there is nothing in the search field and that category is set to all when looking for my notes )

Note: I added one note named 'tuesday 1pm' after I noticed all notes being gone yesterday. It's still there.

Note II: Maybe it's possible that a new DB file got selected. I tried to go into Set DB but I can't seem to browse to even the DB file I'm using now. In what folder is the DB file(s) stored? (I assume /home/user/mydocs).

When using the 'Set DB' it's impossible to browse existing DB files.
What was the default called?
I got a sense that I got it all wiped when hitting 'sync'. Not sure though.

Log below:

I'm sorry I've been so slow to respond, I'm kind of swamped right now. I just wanted to give you a heads up that I'm not ignoring this

Thanks man.
I've been using it ever since and haven't had any lost notes since then.
It would be nice to either be able to retrieve the lost ones - or know the reason why it happened so if it was my doing I never do that again.

Thanks for a great application.

I definitely agree. I actually have a general lack of trust of databases (lack of transparency) and am tempted to move things to be file based which would help debug things in the future.

I've hoped that someday the contents of Quicknote would be easily exported for import into PC-based database programs. Does a "file-based" approach lend itself to that? (I've had no problems with my limited amount of data I have in Quicknote ... and no problems of years of using EccoPro and QuickDex personal information databases in Windows and pre-OSX Mac OSes.)

Is ability to export data something you've considered? I'd like to be able to import from comma-delimited or tab-delimited files, too.

You've used them but what about debugging them

There is an enhancement request for import/export and its something I would personally like. The limiting factor is time.

I'm having a problem I've installed quicknote but when I open it on my n900 it automaticly closes after 2 or 3 secs...

I really like the progam. it was working before I uninstalled a few python files to install the optifyed version. I don't know if thats the problem but it's the last thing I've done to clear some space in rootfs.

I'm guessing its quitting fast enough that it isn't getting around to processing the log. I wonder if there is a dependency issue. Try running
That will launch quicknote from the command line and give you all the gory details. I would be curious what the output is.
