QOwnNotes cannot open notes folder in GNOME gvfs about qownnotes HOT 9 CLOSED

Is that gvfs folder mounted into the regular filesystem? QOwnNotes can only read and write to regular files. Although I never tested gvfs folder so far...

from qownnotes.

It is mounted on access as far as I experienced so far. It crashes the first time you lunch QOwnNotes and you select the gvfs folder.
After the first run it does not crash any more. But if the gvfs is not mounted before starting QOwnNotes, no notes are visible. If the gvfs is mounted already, it seems to work.

Maybe the "mount on access" is the problem, who knows what happens meanwhile...
The notes are loaded into a in-memory sqlite database, when the program starts or the folder is changed.
Would take a while to reproduce this error...

from qownnotes.

Well it should work with it. I am not fully up to date with the file system APIs, maybe you can register for an event when the folder is available for read? To me it looks like currently you are trying to read from the folder before it is fully mounted.

You would have to tell me where the app segfaults by running the built source code in Qt Creator yourself...

from qownnotes.

No, building myself from source should not be required. By the way I noticed the Debian package declares dependencies on some -dbg packages, please either drop that or supply debugging symbols yourself.

Anyway the stack trace from gdb:

I had the debug packages in, because some people had problems without them... really a strange thing...
thank you for the dump

from qownnotes.

What kind of problems? It really should work without it. The packages just contain the symbols of the libraries. Any application should not require them.

from qownnotes.

They were always shown as dependencies in the release build when checking with ldd, and some had problems without them. I already tried to find out what is the cause of this...
