Local Notes app

Using /e/OS Troubleshooting
1

hi, /e/OS users and contributors,

from /e/OS-2.9 it is possible to opt for local Notes. But it still asks for connexion / synchronization and in the parameters of Notes “background synchronization” is automatically opted. It is in contradiction with “local”.

May be, if connexion is active, we see nothing : for privacy, I would prefer to know what is happening behind … ( I suppressed my Murena account, being unable to use it properly ).

If you tap the icon top right, the option to use Local notes appears.

If you create some local notes … if you now tap that icon … you will be offered an option to return to “Cloud notes” via Manage notes.

Exactly because of this I’m on Another notes app 1.5.4 (from F-Droid) for years. You get an ordinary local storage, a waste bin and an export function.

@aibd, thanks for your explanation;

I have created a local note : after, I come back and tap the Notes-icon,

  • if the phone has no connection, I have for 5 seconds :
    “synchronization failed : no network connection”.
  • if the phone has internet, no message. (I have verified in notes-parameters : no more “background synchronization” option).

Either, nothing offered (I suppressed my Murena account).
Before Notes had the local option, I installed Editor (Bill the Farmer), and I keep it.

@irrlicht : thank you;
Before Notes had the local option, I installed Editor (Bill the Farmer), and I keep it. Local option is new, came with /e/OS 2.9, may be there is a slight issue …

Is this really new? I can’t remember well (because I don’t use it) but I have something in my mind that this local feature has been talked about here two or three years ago.

I had some trouble with eCloud and eDrive (before murena) 3 years ago; I concluded it was experimental and I suppressed my account. At that time Notes had not a local option, so I installed Editor. I just made a try on murena, a month ago.
