What issue do you have?

The setup:

  • I just upgraded to Joplin 3.1.20 from 3.0.15
  • I have a notebook for a short story I am working on: A Picnic in the Park
  • It has several notes and the short story itself (3500 words, etc.).
  • It has a YesYouKan note in it
  • The ordering of the notes is
    • A Picnic in the Park (1929 edition) — a markdown note of about 3500 words
    • KB: A Picnic in the Park — using KanBan to outline the story.
    • others notes related to the story

What happened:

  • I was playing with the improvements to YesYouKan (yeah!) and then I shut down Joplin
  • I opened Joplin, and it opened it to the first note in the notebook, which is my short story.
  • All that was left with the YesYouKan stub for making a new KanBan note.
  • I vomited because when you see your work lost, that is what you do.

I saw this happen before with a older backup of the story (another note) I had in the folder (it was ordered first) and thought, "Well, that's weird, I must have mistakenly nuked that note." And so I deleted it." But then, here I was again, looking at my outline when I, at some point, shut down Joplin and then when I restarted it, the top-note in the notebook was again blown away.

I am kind of paralyzed in place because I am terrified of doing anything that may blow away more data.

Note, I did flip the switch on YesYouKan, but I am not sure what to do at this point. I am afraid to shut things down and restart them again.

HELP.

P.S. Side note: all the note management icons seem to have disappeared. (update: That's because the CSS to hide the WYSIWYG button changed).

Ok. I tried …

  • "Note Properties"
  • "Previous versions of this note"
  • chose a previous version from the day prior.
  • Restored Notes note retitled to "untitled" and blank.
  • chose random older version
  • Restored Notes note retitled to "untitled" and blank.
  • [This is probably a different bug.]

Then I …

  • created a new profile (I don't use profiles since you have to exit Joplin entirely to switch)
  • manually exploded the backup .7z all_notebooks backup from prior to the OMG moment.
  • imported the all_notebooks .jex file for that backup in the scratch profile.
  • noted that the story I lost is mostly the same as I last left it.
  • exported the note to a .jex
  • switched profiles
  • imported the note
  • moved it back to the notebook
  • dried my tears

I experienced a very similiar problem immedeately after upgrading to 3.1.20 (from a < 3.1 version).

A non-YesYouKan note with many PDF attachments was nuked and only a YesYouKan stub was inside it.

Note history was also empty.

Perhaps best not to upgrade from < 3.1 now unless we disable YesYouKan plugin first.

Thanks for the reports, I'll look into the issue as soon as possible. For now I took the plugin out of the repository until this is solved

This is now fixed as of version 1.0.6, but this is only compatible with v3.2 of Joplin which hasn't been released yet. In the meantime it won't be possible to install the faulty version
