Inconsistencies...

[Zed <zed zed net nz>]

gNote  has become an essential tool for me but there is one worrying factor
and that is what appears to be an inconsistency in copying the .gnote file
between computers or from a backup to a reinstalled system.

When I do a reinstallation of SolusOS, or any other Linux distribution for
that matter, I install gNote and copy the .gnote hidden file to my new Home
folder.  I then launch gNote.  Sometimes all is well and I have all the data
in the .gnote file but at other times I find that gNote is treating it as a
completely "new" installation.

In the case of the "new" installation, I have found that if I open my Home
folder and display hidden files, open .gnote and delete the contents and
thenopen my .gnote backup and copy the files to the .gnote Home folder all
will work as expected.

Unfortunately, this does not always work and I have to repeat the exercise
several times to be successful.

What is even more puzzling,  is that if I open the .gnote file in gEdit and
examine the contents all my old data is there but gNote still displays as a
"new" installation.

Although not a "deal breaker" it would be nice to know why this is happening
and what I may be doing wrong for such a thing to occur.
