Gnote random bugs

Hello, I need help.
Today, randomly, Gnote started not letting me view all my notes.
If I check the folder ~/.local/share/gnote/, it contains all the notes and they are not corrupted (if I cat the file, I can read all my notes), but if I try to open it with gnote filename.ncote, it doesn’t work. Everything stops at the starting Gnote window.

I hope someone can help me.

What do you mean by “starting window”?
Does Gnote open but shows no notes?
Recommended first step is to launch gnote in the terminal and see if there are any errors.

Hello, thanks for your reply. Sorry, I was not clear enough.

  1. I launch Gnote from the terminal.
  2. I don’t get any errors.
  3. It opens the starting window, with a bar on the left that lists all my notes, but it doesn’t open them.
  4. I can view each file in ~/.local/share/gnote/, but if I try to open them with gnote filename.note, it remains stuck on the screen shown in the attached image.

It looks like the splitter between notebook and note lists is as wide as the window. Try moving mouse around the right edge, there should be a visual pointer difference between window resize and splitter move. Or use Dconf editor and edit the setting that stores the splitter position.

Also, the correct invocation to open a specific note from the command line is

gnote --open-note full/path.note
gnote --open-note "node title"

Hello,
thanks to everyone. I have solved. I am a noob :frowning:
I am a new user. I have to learn a lot on linux via this forum.
Thank you so much.

This is the right answer. For some reason, this happens sometimes. A year ago I experienced the same issue, even opened an issue for this on the Fedora tracker. Was also confused why there wouldn’t be any notes while they we’re in the gnotes directory and then figured out later by accident the solution you proposed.
