rednotebook's Issues

Works only with home user folder in Ubuntu 12.10

After update from Ubuntu 12.04 to Xubuntu 12.10 - Rednotebook cannot open and cannot create any files anywhere except home user folder...

When I try to create new journal in another folder - it created in my main user folder.

Freeze on application start

When I start rednotebook in Jaunty window appears with no text and locks up (freezes). When I run from the command line I get:

No warning for unsaved Journal

Originally reported by picmax at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1174983 (2013-04-30T23:41:14Z):

I have the journal file stored on a mapped network drive. I was able to work on the journal nornally for almost a whole month without noticing any issue. However after a reboot the journal file for the month of April is not there. It appears that the file was never created on the drive because I have exceed the limit for number of files for the drive.

RedNoteBook should issue warning immediately when it cannot save a file. It is unacceptable it doesn't.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit Enterprise edition.

RN running only in background

Originally reported by charlymr at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871688 (2011-10-10T10:51:37Z):

I installed the new version (1.2) yesterday and since then I have the problem, that it looks like RN is running in the background and I can't see it or stop it. When I try to open it I get the following message:

RedNotebook scheint bereits zu laufen
Das kann passieren, wenn sich die Anwendung im Systembereich verbirgt oder sie nicht korrekt beendet wurde. Wenn eine zweite Instanz von RedNotebook gestartet wird, kann das zu Datenverlusten führen. Bitte prüfe deshalb, ob die Anwendung nicht schon läuft.

Soll trotzdem eine neue Instanz von RedNotebook gestartet werden?

To delete the "running" line in the conf-file doesn't help! Also it is not located in the sys-tray.

Here are my conf and log files:

I hope you find a quick solution, because I use RN on daily basis in my work and can't do anything with it now!!
Is there a way to install the old version (1.1.8)?

RedNotebook shouldn't load backup files as journal files

Originally reported by domdelimar at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/705260 (2011-01-20T04:44:52Z):

---

I don't know if there's some convention about linux *~ backup files but to me at least it was unexpected behavior when I edited my journal file outside RedNotebook (which automatically, based on my preferences, created a backup of the that file with "~" suffix) and started RedNotebook only to find my changes were not applied.
Log explained why this was:

INFO Opening journal at /.rednotebook/data
DEBUG Starting to load files in dir "/.rednotebook/data"
DEBUG Start loading file "/.rednotebook/data/2011-01.txt"
DEBUG Finished loading file "/.rednotebook/data/2011-01.txt"
DEBUG Start loading file "/.rednotebook/data/2011-01.txt"
DEBUG Finished loading file "/.rednotebook/data/2011-01.txt"
DEBUG Finished loading files in dir "~/.rednotebook/data"

So RN read both files and in this case gave higher priority to my backup file.

I don't know if editing journal files directly is supported and if this behavior could thus be considered a simple wishlist and not a bug, but the reason I edited the file outside RN was because I accidentally put a whole lot of data on the wrong date and felt it would be a lot easier to just change the date info in the journal file rather than go through tedious copy-pasting. And by storing journal data in plain text you sure made it appealing and easy to do such edits and thanks for that :) - and this certainly isn't even a big bug since all one has to do is remove backup files and everything goes back to normal (some might even have their systems setup in a way they will never hit this bug) but it sure seems to me it wouldn't hurt a bit if RN ignored certain files, backup ones for starters.

And let me just add this is a lovely program you've created. Just started using it and I already can't see myself not using it from now on. Thank you! :)

Originally reported by alexandr-baramykov at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1267263 (2014-01-08T22:00:44Z):

In export there is an option to filter days by some tags presence. This option doesn't work with cyrilic tags. Selection of the tags in cyrilic just do nothing - days with this tags aren't included to the final report.

In attached archive there is a test diary named "test". In this diary there are records for two days: one with tag "tag1" and the other one with "тег1".

• If all days export is selected - both records present in the report (RedNotebook-Export_all.txt)
• If filtering by tags is selected and "tag1" tag is selected - record with this tag presents in the report (RedNotebook-Export_tag1.txt)
• If filtering by tags is selected and "тег1" tag is selected - record with this tag must present in the report bu actual report is empty (RedNotebook-Export_тег1.txt)

Config and log file for the last case is also in attach.

Environment:
RedNotebook version: 1.8.0
OS: Ubuntu x64, Win7 x64

Usage in high-contrast-mode, w/ high-contrast-theme-#1 on Windows 7 is a bit problematic

Originally reported by martin-lemburg at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574613 (2016-04-25T12:23:21Z):

Sincerely I need to work with my Windows 7 accounts to be configured to use high-contrast-mode and high-contrast-#1 theme (yellow text on black backgrounds, white frames).

I was quite astonished, that there are so less problems with RedNotbook, but some areas a bit problematic:

1. After inserting a template, before "saving" it, the view gets quiet distorted for people like me.
2. The tag cloud is not rendered in the system colors, so it is still black on white
3. In the settings dialog I'm not quite sure if I miss something black on black

Independent of any theming the tags area on the left of the window behaves a bit strange while resizing the window

If the ~/.rednotebook directory does not already exist, RedNotebook raises an

I thought this might be a bug for rednotebook, has anybody else encounter this problem.

Hi,

I'm having an odd problem lately.

I can't precisely be sure what steps seem to cause the behaviour. Today it seemed to happen when I did this:

1. I tagged an old entry with an existing tag

2. Created a new entry for today

3. When I tried to tag the new entry the previous tag is highlighted but the "OK" button is greyed out

4. I can't tag the current entry no matter what I do, all existing tags won't work as the "OK" button stays greyed out.

5. I have to exit the app and restart it to tag an entry successfully.

Thanks for your attention to this,
Rod.

Double clicking search results broken for single digit months

Originally reported by erik-simmler at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312988 (2009-01-01T20:48:57Z):

---

When I create a note and then search for a word, the results come up properly. However in virtually every case double clicking them either takes me to the wrong day, or doesn't do anything at all.

For example, the result for the note created today (Jan 1st 2009) takes me to Oct 1st 2009.
As far as I can tell, any dates that have a two digit month (10, 11, 12) work properly. All other months do not.

Hope this helps, the app looks very promising so far!

Crashes with "python" text in journal files

Originally reported by malkies-mynaardt at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1158642 (2013-03-22T05:27:36Z):

It looks like other people are having trouble with this one too. RedNotebook would close as soon as I started it. If I deleted the ~/.rednotebook directory, then it would run. But when I tried opening one of my regular journals it crashed again.

I checked the ~/.rednotebook/rednotebook.log file and found out that the app was crashing when any of the TXT files in the journal contained "!!python/unicode ".

I don't know about anyone else, but all the files I had with this "!!python/unicode " business were from 2011 or earlier. And it was most of those older files, but not all of them. I then used the gedit editor to replace all instances of "!!python/unicode " with a null string (""). It took a while because I had to check every single TXT file, and I've been using RedNotebook for some time for different topical journals.

Anyway... Once I had removed ALL instances of "!!python/unicode " from each TXT file, RedNotebook then worked just fine for those directories that were crashing.

I hope that helps someone out there. I have no idea why or how this problem began, though.

Enter clears Search if search expression contains certain characters

Originally reported by dolgener at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1430697 (2015-03-11T09:33:30Z):

By chance I noticed today, that rednotebook's search functionality isn't that reliable as one would suppose.
Persons used to finish a search by pressing may get false-negative results if the search expression contains an umlaut.

Steps to reproduce:
(1) Add some text, e.g. "Mrs. Späth has joined for a test." to one or more days' journal.
(2) Search for "Sp". You will find find (at least) the dates modified in (1).
(3a) Type "Späth" into the search field: On Windows you will see the expected result quite instantely, not so on Linux, as find-as-you type is much more slow there.
(3b) Now press , as you might intuitively would when finishing your search: The search results are CLEARED.

Hence, the phenomenon seems to be related to umlaut characters (LETTER A|O|U WITH DIAERESIS). Replace "Späth" by "darüber" or "Lösung" and experience identical behavior.

Interestingly, "ß" (LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S) does not behave that way!

I have reproduced all that on four different machines, two of them with a fresh install to exclude data files' corruption as possible cause.

1.8.1 on Linux Debian/testing (3.16.0-4-amd64) running on Python 2.7.9 (two machines tested)
1.4.0 on Linux Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ( 3.13.0-24-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP) running on Python 2.7.6 (one tested)
1.9.0 on Windows 7 64bit (running on its own python included) (one tested)

RNB@Win won't open config window

See subject.
RedNotebook 1.1.2, Windows XP RUS.

It seems to me that the trouble s hidden in some troubles concerning character encodings.
The default charset for Russian Windows is CP1251, while the charset used by rednotebook, I'm absolutely sure, is UTF-8.
The funny thing is, Cyrillic characters have the same charcodes as UTF-8 control symbols. Perhaps that is the reason, since there are Russian characters to be inserted into the config by default, thanks to my translation. Thus, they are transcoded into some garbage which even I cannot read.

The rest of the program works fine so far.

The current configuration.cfg is attached to this bug report.

When I try to start it via the source code from Github (the latest) on Ubuntu 16.04, it tells me that I don't have python-gtkspell installed. I tired and it turns out that python-gtkspell doesn't have a release candidate on 16.04.

Data loss by running multiple instances

Originally reported by botanicus at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771396 (2011-04-26T18:13:10Z):

If Rednotebook is configured to automatically start at login ("[x] Load RedNotebook at system start" [de="RedNotebook beim Systemstart laden"]), multiple instances will run in subsequent sessions (likely caused by KDE's session management). Accordingly, two icons will be displayed in system tray area. However, this is likely to be hidden or overlooked.

If you don't realize this, at the end of your session that instance of RedNotebook which closes last will silently overwrite the whole journal. As multiple instances running on the same journal won't update each other and even don't notice updated yournal files (as kate would do, for instance), there is no warning at all. At worst, all of your editing work of the complete session might irrevocably be thrashed.

Therefore, RedNotebook should either generally refuse to operate in multiple instances on the same dataDir, or at least have a configuration option to prevent this behaviour.

What is strange about this bug:
RedNotebook pops up this alarm via standard Ubuntu interface every time I save the journal. The thing is, RNB does not crash, it is still operational, and it saves all the files perfectly.
My files are stored on an NTFS Windows partition.

I've tried changing both the xulrunner path & disabling it (useGTKMozembed=0), in both configs (~/.rednotebook/configuration.cfg & /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/rednotebook/files/default.cfg), to no avail.

I've also tried using python 2.5, similar result (though I'm not sure if I properly removed everything from python2.6)

v0.5.6 seems to startup fine (was this pre-PyGTK?)

No spell-checking at WinXP

Originally reported by entrup at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1146946 (2013-03-05T14:05:35Z):

I installed RedNotebook 1.7.1 at WinXP and tried to use the new spell-checking feature. But it does not work. I tested with RedNotebookPortable and with rednotebook-1.7.1.exe from sourceforge.

Observations:

1. When switching on spell-checking (by [F7] or menu entry) nothing happens. The content menu shows only the default entries "cut", "copy", "paste", "delete" and "select all".

2. The folder enchant and its subfolder contain no dictionary files. Searching the RNB directory for ".dic", ".dict", "en" and "de" lists no dictionary files, too.

At least the txt and pdf exports will list a date with no content.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Click on a day that hasn't yet been viewed (i.e. has no content).
2. Without typing anything for that day, move back to any other day.
3. Save and export.

Sometimes strikethrough works, but sometimes it just puts two dashes at the front and back of the Message, so it does not alphabetize correctly on the left column using Category - Messages. Using RedNotebook 1.1.1 on Windows XP SP2.
