It is interesting. All that I can report is that I do have migrated Notes in what appears to be the correct place in $HOME/.local/share/notes as described in the Bug Report. However I don't know how to get them to work with KNotes. However, KNotePad will open them and they do appear to be my notes. >>>> It said that it would take a quite a while to run.

Perhaps someone can tell me how to configure KNotes by hand. -- James Tyrer Linux (mostly) From Scratch ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde-linux mailing list.
