Hi!

I migrated all my kjots notebooks to another computer. I looked for the "Extras - import" - option to import old njots notes but there was none.
Then I found a post somewhere that I have to manually use the kjotsmigrtor. Did that. And then I found all my notebooke and -pages again!

Then trouble started: I had a lot of notebooks that where doubled and there was about 8 (!) local akonadi sources for local notes.
So deciding to clean up that mess I started to delete some of the duplicates. Until I realized that I am not deleting ONE of the duplicates but that the second one o the duplicate disappears also when deleting one. Obviously those different akonadi folders use the same data and deleting in one deletes in the others also.

So I thought, no worries, I just have to recover. I looked into my system trash bin to recover the files but there's nothing there! Why doen't KDE use the system trash????
Now I got worried until I found a hint on the KDE wiki that kjots will always have a backup folder in ,kde/share/apps/kjots to recover accidents like this. I looked it up only to find out that it's completely empty. So the WIKI is outdated obviously, KDE circumvents the system trashbin and I have no idea how to recover the deleted notebooks!

plz help someone and thx for reading (Kubunut 12.04 with KDE 4.8.3)

p.s.: I really don't understand why kontact doesn't use the trashbin that's a really annoying design flaw imho. That's what the trashbin is for - to have a central layer for security if things got messed up!

Have you looked inside these folders
/home/USER/.local/.notes.directory
/home/USER/.local/notes
?

[Where the hell do you english/american people put the question mark in a case like the above? ]

Kjots in KDE4.8 simply does not work anymore. Impossible to create a page or a book
Starting with migration troubles, although on a fresh profile, then nothing to migrate.
Solving migration problems is not enough to make Kjots work.

After 5 hours struggling trying to understand how akonadi/soprano/virtuso is working, I found this known bug:
Bug 298955 - kjots is not responding on ubuntu 12:04, witch means can not open a new book or new page
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298955

I've tried KDE4.8.3 although not official, but still buggy.,and kjots still useless.

I've noticed that Debian is using KDE4.7, and some other distributions KDE4.8.
Which one is supposed to be the last "official" release for production ?

A note-taker application should be rock solid over the releases, and kjots seems to be weaker and weaker.
Is there a known replacement of Kjots which is robust and would stay solid through coming KDE releases ?

By now I partially agree with you that kjots looks as an abandoned project, given the problems it has and the lack of features one might expect by now.
Personally, the only reason I kept using it was because of its handy integration with akonadi.
Perhaps a switch to gjots or something similar combined with kdocker might work.

This kind of bug can take more than a year to be solved, due to the complexity of akonadi & co.

I am currently looking for TuxCards and KeepNote or Cherrytree

This kind of application should never be broken over KDE "official" releases.
KDEPIM is the weakest point of KDE.

Ok! after a lot of work with the notes I could somehow recover all my notes but I had to manually rename most of the notebooks, they had names like "SG5vZTfd" ... !

But this brings me to a more general point: as it was pointed out kjots might be an abandoned project.

So, please, could anyone officially involved in KDE PIM tell us users what the plan is?
U mean how can we work with KDE-PIM and get used to some features that are buggy in the hopes of improvement and then someone changes his/her mind and there's nothing but regression and no replacement?

As far as notes are concerned: There has been talk of "Basket" integration into KDE 4 Kontact, so I got basket and started working with it ... now it seems abandoned.
Then theres KDE notes - never improved in any way and can't do anything a modern notetaking app should acomplish ...
Kjots, though not as powerful as basket, lokked promising and semms to be abandoned now ...

What's the plan? Great there's akonadi with all it's problems but nothing to take real advantage of that.

dissapointed,

Forget Kjots, and have a look to CherryTree : defnitive choice for me.
