alternatives to knotes conversion?

Sat Apr 19, 2014 11:39 pm
My KDE installation (on Arch) has been upgraded to 4.13.0, but the conversion of my knotes failed. I restored that directory a few times and manually ran the knotes-migrator utility, with the --interactive switch. But, a progress meter just goes to 100% and no notes become available. Knotes itself seemed to be using two Notes resources, but neither had my old notes.

I still have the ~/.kde4/share/apps/knotes directory from before the upgrade, is there anything else I can do to try to recover my old knotes?

Thanks!

KNotes was quite changed from 4.12 to 4.13. I'll try pointing the developer here (but given we're in the Easter holidays in Europe, that may take a few days).

After talking to the developer: can you check in the knotes configuration, under "Collections", if you have selected your notes?

I had a similar problem, it ended up with me creating a fresh notes "collection", point it to my saved notes-folder. Then I checked the new notes collection in Knotes preferences and got all back. In double actually... so I then unselected one notes collection and at least for now it works fine

Thank you for your replies, but unfortunately I still have not been able to import my old notes. After running the import process, there are two collections; even when both are checked, no notes are available. I have the .ics file, I'll just go through it and make new notes.
