Not being able to create Folders

Open ThatsMeGIT opened this issue 3 months ago • 3 comments

Hey there,

i'm fresh to using rnote. I would like to build a tree for my notes. Like: TEST | | ---- Test 2 | ------ Test 2.1 | | ---- Test 3

and so on...

Idk why but i cant seem to be able to create folders. I use the button for it but it just happens nothing.

Maybe this helps, if you need any different information just tell me Neues Dokument - engine state.json

Describe the bug
Upon using Rnote version 0.13.1 on Win 11, the application doesn't allow me to create folders. It allows me to create projects and stuff like that. The Button for creating a folder just does nothing.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Creating a project
  2. Writing some stuff in the template
  3. Pressing button to create Folder for the template

Expected behavior
I would have expected for a folder to pop up and let me name it. Like the depiction previously stated

Console Output
Didn't install it via flatpak so can't do that, if it's really required just tell me and i'll send it .

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 11 Home 24H2
  • App Version: 0.13.1
  • Installation Source: .exe
  • Input Source: Surface, Surface pen

So you don't get this popup ?

There's a few things to try.

Can you run in a powershell terminal

$env:RUST_LOG="warn"
& 'C:\Program Files\Rnote\bin\rnote.exe' *>&1 | echo

and see if there is any output in the terminal when you're clicking on the new folder button ? I'm suspecting this line gets triggered https://github.com/Doublonmousse/rnote/blob/6031a4c7b9e208c96294f01d01016434aecd4bfb/crates/rnote-ui/src/workspacebrowser/workspaceactions/createfolder.rs#L86

Could you also open regedit, go to

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GSettings\com\github\flxzt\rnote

and copy the value of the the workspace-list variable ?
