Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote-App/issues/1000

Current behavior

When using the local space, files cannot be deleted. There is no option for deleting a file in context menu. Del key does not work either.
Folders, on the other hand, can be deleted just fine.

Context menu for files

Context menu for folder

Even more strange is, when deleting a folder that has some files in it, all files are moved to the root tree (so not being inside any folder) instead of being deleted.

Expected behavior

Files can be deleted

Steps to reproduce

Try to delete a file in local space either with del key or via context menu.

Environment

Desktop/Web

  • Boost Note.next version: 0.18.0
  • OS version and name: Linux Fedora 34

Hi,

For the note deletion, this is new workflow for notes, the 'archive' is actually deleting the note, but it goes to archive first, to delete it completely you can then delete it from archive or from note context view (right sidebar).

As for the folder deletion, I'll look into the problem and get back to you as soon as possible, all notes from folder should be archived, not moved to workspace!

Hi again,

I reproduced the issue, it seems like a small bug in rendering worksapce items (notes which were archived)

I created PR, it should be fixed in next release (should be this week)

No problem, if you found anything else, please do not hesitate to ask.

I'll see if we can add some shortcuts for deleting/archiving the note without mouse.

For now, I'll close the issue, please reopen if needed.

Note, not sure if this is noted.
The "Archive" function is smart, and notes even remember where they "belonged". Really good.

The notes DO disappear if they are inside subfolders. Only root notes do not disappear on archive. 0.18.0

Hi, myicq,

This is the actual consequence of them being added to root of the workspace on archiving.

This bugfix fixes all of the issues (once released it will work as intended)
