Gnote 3.36 on Ubuntu 20.04 ignores Local Directory Sync after Reinstallation
I am using Gnote Version 3.36.0 on Ubuntu 20.04. I have a hybrid SSD/HHD machine with my home folder set as the hhd partition.
I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and updated ubuntu/grub to recognize my /home partition where all of my files settings are.
Upon re-installation of gnote the majority of my notes are missing. Gnote is only reading notes from the default location.
~/.local/share/gnote
And ignores all of the notes that I have at ~/Documents/gnotes.
The Note Directory Watcher plugin and the Local Directory Sync Service plugins are both active, and in preferences gnote shows the location of my ~/Documents/gnotes folder, but still simply ignores the notes present in the directory.
I thought the issue may have been corrupt config files, so I used synaptic to completely remove gnote (all config files) and reinstall it. I reset the configuration to recognize my local directory of gnotes, but again gnote ignores the directory and will not sync.
Note: I have been looking for a way to install gnote 40rc on ubuntu 20.04 since I read that it fixes a lot of sync issues. However, I have not been successful.
Can someone tell me how to:
a.) fix my Gnote Version 3.36.0 to recognize & sync the notes that are present
or
b.) update my Gnote Version 3.36.0 to 40rc on ubuntu 20.04 so that I can successfully sync my notes.
thanks!
