Extension keeps asking to select a note location
Details
OS: Ubuntu 24.04
What have I tried?
- Reloading
- Restarting
- Selecting different sub-folders of Home and the project folder
- Reinstalling the extension
Realized this was rather a UX issue and not a bug. Maybe we need to change the default view if the folder is already selected.

I'm here for the exact same reason.

@darylshy You see, it's just a bad UX. The folder is actually successfully selected. You can start creating/editing notes.
@hayksaryan thanks! I would never guess that by myself.
Nevertheless, it's so bad that I was going to uninstall and search for another ext.

I'd already done that for you. But then decided I'm not going to succumb to this extension :smile:
Hey @hayksaryan but are you able to see the notes list as shown in the Extension install page?:
I think this is a bug, not bad UX, I'm facing the same issue. Hope it gets fixed, the extension looks awesome!
@pablocubico Yes, I see the list. Once you create at least one note the list appears in the sidebar.
I have the same issue, notes are not listed on the sidebar, even after I create a new note. If I do Ctrl+Shift+P > Notes: List notes, they show up on the command drop down.
I am running on Remote Development mode, and the Notes.notesLocation is a path on the remote machine (I do see the new notes saved there).
My VSCode versions are: Version: 1.87.2 (system setup) Commit: 863d2581ecda6849923a2118d93a088b0745d9d6 Date: 2024-03-08T15:20:17.278Z Electron: 27.3.2 ElectronBuildId: 26836302 Chromium: 118.0.5993.159 Node.js: 18.17.1 V8: 11.8.172.18-electron.0 OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22631
Thank you all for pointing out this issue. I am sure it has been a problem for many people. I'll work on a fix as soon as possible.
Hi! I'd love to use this extension. Unfortunately, it still keeps asking for a storage location.
- also, when renaming a note, the note disappears from the list.. and again asks for a storage location. Best.
If anyone else is facing the same issue, I found a workaround that might help:
- Select your desired storage location.
- Close VS Code.
- Create a test.md file in the folder you selected as the storage location.
- Open VS Code again.
Your test.md note should appear, and everything should work as expected.

Yeah, that took me a good second. I kept selecting a new location, then get prompted to refresh the window, then come back to "please select a location".
I suggest that if it has a location assigned and no notes yet, it displays a "New Note" button, as that would be the logical next step.
Hello, I was using this extension for a long time now, but I started having this bug since a few days...
I pretty much tried anything I could (disabled/re-enabled the ext, uninstalled/reinstalled, changed note location folder and its permissions...), but nothing resolved the bug so far.
The only workaround I found is to use Ctrl+Shift+P > Notes: List notes as suggested by @scypher00
It would be great if this was solved, because this extension is really helpful ! Keep up the good work :)

Make sure to keep the extension on the note when you rename it, like .md or .txt etc.
I will be making some updates to the extension soon, and I will fix this issue with the upcoming release. I appreciate all of your feedback!
