Note buffer opened with `gF` won't save

[lkraav]

gvim-7.4.1821, vim-notes-0.33.4

I use :RecentNotes as the dashboard screen, and gF to navigate notes.

For some reason, saving notes :w is not possible on buffers opened with gF.

Using :Note <note> works properly.

Having this issue with :NoteToMarkdown. Unable to write the converted file to disk, ex) " :w test.md" saves nothing.

I can reproduce this. In this state, the syntax highlighting isn't working either. But if I use :Note to re-open the file in question, syntax highlighting comes back and I can save once more.

This same state (no syntax highlighting, unable to save changes with :w) also occurs when I:

• use :e and the absolute path of the desired note (in my notes directory)
• use ctrl-p to load the note (would love for this to work!)
• open a note, open a different note in a different buffer, go back to the first note
• source .vimrc (even if it's empty!) while in a different buffer, then return to my note buffer

However, if I source .vimrc while in my note buffer, it remains active.

Bridge to use ctrl-p.

This may be a similar problem…

I run :Note test to create a note. Type in a path (~/Desktop). Save with :w. With the cursor on the path, I gf and hop to the the folder in netrw. Great. Then :bp to go back to the note.

I type in a second path (~/Documents). Save with :w. With the cursor on the path, I gf, hop to the new directory, but when I :bp to go back to the note, it is completely empty, and I can find no record (swap, etc.) of the previous text.
