Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Originally created by @dhjensen on GitHub (Mar 3, 2021).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote-App/issues/818
Current behavior
I'm trying to convert my storage to local file system. It states it failed however a lot of the files have already been created.
Based on the error I suspect references to attachments?
Expected behavior
It should convert my storage. Or at least tell me what to do if it fails.
Steps to reproduce
Environment
Desktop/Web
@Komediruzecki commented on GitHub (Mar 3, 2021):
Yes, probably problem with attachments. Go to attachments section for that storage and see if you find any attachments which has no preview,
if you found those, they are missing from file system, you should be able to safely delete them by right clicking on the attachments (empty space without preview of attachment image) and chosing remove. After you have no references to invalid/missing attachments, you should be able to convert the storage.
@dhjensen commented on GitHub (Mar 4, 2021):
Hmm ok but when I browse the attachment folder there is no attachments. However there is some warnings in the console:
I might add that this workspace used to have attachments
@Komediruzecki commented on GitHub (Mar 5, 2021):
Yes, that is exactly the problem.
Can you try right-clicking on the empty space in that window - because the attachment navigator item would not show if there aren't any (just try right clicking with mouse over that window to see if there are one, or more attachments listed). So if you try that you should get the dialog to remove the attachment. If there aren't on file system or in storage you should be able to remove them easily and that would leave you with fixed storage which you can convert.
Also make sure you are looking at attachments from storage which you are trying to convert, in this case 'Random'?
@dhjensen commented on GitHub (Mar 8, 2021):
In addition to follow your instructions I had to remove the files and folders in the destination folder.
My problem solved. Do you consider this a bug or should I close this issue?
@Komediruzecki commented on GitHub (Mar 8, 2021):
I suppose those are some additional folders/files which are not part of what boost note reads and handles?
In that case, yes, this is not really a bug, and we are aware of a slightly intolerant convert/export procedure which will soon be updated and be much more tolerant on errors and corrupted file system data, so in that manner we can close this issue safely.
@dhjensen commented on GitHub (Mar 9, 2021):
No after a failed export attempt there is leftover files that give issues after attachment cleanup.
I have to delete those manually before a successful conversion can be made.
