What issue do you have?
I upgraded Joplin from version 3.2 using the Joplin-Setup-3.5.12.exe installer.
Before the upgrade, my original Joplin installation was located at D:/Joplin, and my notes were stored in D:\Joplin\notes. During the upgrade, I noticed a prompt indicating that it detected my existing installation location and proceeded with the upgrade there (in previous upgrades, it would install to the C drive by default, and I would then manually replace the files to the D drive to complete the process—this time was different).
After the upgrade finished, I launched Joplin using the shortcut I set up, which runs D:\Joplin\Joplin.exe --profile "D:\Joplin\notes". When I opened the app, I found that all my previous notes were gone. Additionally, the zip cold backups I had stored in the D:\Joplin folder are also missing. I’m not sure if the upgrade overwrote or cleared the files during the replacement process. I’m very worried right now.
