notes not getting saved in kontact

TheOneAndOnlySM · 10-23-2004, 11:26 AM

i'm upgraded to slackware-current and have kde 3.3.1 installed

whenever i create a new note in kontact, the note is not saved the next time kontact is opened... i haven't much more information to help understand this problem, but i was wondering if anyone has noticed the same thing?

Under KDE 3.3.0, I had the same problem, that KNote doesn't save the notes on exit.

A few days later, there was an updated version of KNotes on an apt-mirror. I installed the updated version of KNotes (via. apt/synaptic) and after that it works fine. The notes were saved correctly on program exit.

But after I updated to KDE 3.3.1 last week, KNotes does't save the notes again. It's the same problem like described above.

Will there be a fixed version of Knotes for KDE 3.3.1?

I like KNotes very much. So thanks a lot for your work.

Dunno, but not officially from KDE. I was too late to notice and backport the
changes, so all the known bugs I had fixed so far will be in KDE 3.3.2 only.
Sorry about that, developers sometimes are soo lazy ;-}

it's from bugs.kde.org

Later in the thread they are taliking about a possible solution.

I'll see if I can recompile the kdepim myself and post the *.tgz with relevan binaries in this forum. (I hope someone beats me to it.)

WORKAROUND with symbolic link:
- (Save old messages if needed)
- rm ~/.kde/share/apps/knotesnotes.ics*
- rm -r -f ~/.kde/share/apps/knotes
- knotes
- (Exit knotes)
- ln -s ~/.kde/share/apps/knotesnotes.ics ~/.kde/share/apps/knotes/notes.ics
- knotes
This works for me, saving notes between sessions. However, editing notes in kontact still does not work.

EDIT: Before "rm -r -f ~/.kde/share/apps/knotes" I suggest to move ~/.kde/share/apps/knotes/notes.ics file to a safe location.

after last step, exit knotes, rm ~/.kde/share/apps/knotesnotes.ics and copy the old notes.ics in its place. (of course you have to rename it to ~/.kde/share/apps/knotesnotes.ics)

This way you get to keep your old notes, it there are any...

ah, thanks for the information

since this is a known bug and i'm not super-dependent on knotes, i'll wait for a patch or updated release

i tried the temporary solution, but no luck in knotes or kontact....
