Originally created by @bezog on GitHub (Mar 11, 2021).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote-App/issues/861

Current behavior

Go to Preferences > Space > "Convert into file system based local space".
I choose a folder in "Choose Location" and click "Convert to file system base space".
I get a message: "Cannot destructure property 'mime' of '(intermediate value)' as it is undefined."
So conversion did not succeed as far as I know. Though I do see new files and folders in the folder that was chosen, but I don't have any indication that boost note converted everything or that it is using it as storage now.

Expected behavior

I should have a notice that conversion succeeded and that boost note is using it now.
Also warning about "deprecate the legacy cloud storage" should disappear.

Steps to reproduce

As written above.

Environment

Desktop

Boost Note.next version: 0.14.1
OS version and name: Windows 10

Hi,
Thanks for your help!

There is nothing in the attachment section. I tried right-clicking all over the place - but nothing.
Boost note does create an attachments folder and it has 1 png file that can not be opened.
I searched for png in the notes and found the note that boost notes came with when I opened the account. It has examples for many things and also for attachments (and they were broken) so I deleted the note.
I can't find any other note with an attachment but maybe there still is one hiding...
I still can't convert to local storage.

Any other ideas?

Hi bezog,

Maybe we can handle it faster on the slack channel? Join our slack and ping me there: https://join.slack.com/t/boostnote-group/shared_invite/zt-cun7pas3-WwkaezxHBB1lCbUHrwQLXw

If not, more ideas:

can you open the application console (via Ctrl+Shift+I or going to menus and opening it View->Toggle Developer Tools) and see if there is more info there as to why it cannot convert the storage?

When you convert your cloud (legacy) storage to file system-based storage you should get a new storage/space and there should be converted notes/attachments and folders.

Please look at your original/cloud storage to see if you have any attachments by searching via Ctrl+P, try looking for "![]" if you have many notes.

After you are sure there are no corrupted attachment links and attachments in the storage, continue to look for any other invalid or not correctly synced document, does sync work when you force sync the cloud storage? (any error messages in-app or console?)

Let me know of anything you find weird (screenshots desirable) or something you might suspect.
You can convert the cloud storage into file system-based storage/space in older versions too, so maybe you could try either reinstalling the app, reloading it, installing a different version of the app, etc.

Tell me more details, are you converting local storage or cloud storage (legacy)?
How many notes do you have? Do you sync notes to other operating systems (mobile app?) or just use cloud storage on windows?

I have similar error after I converted into file system. I open the folder, I find out that the attachment folder has images file, although I have deleted before. So, I delete it, and add the local storage and point to the converted folder. All my notes are back.
