Notes not visible
Help.
I just upgraded to 1.5.3 on my laptop, and although all the notes titles are there, the note contents is not visible in the right-hand pane.
I keep my notes in Dropbox and I checked directly; the contents are still there. So this seems to be a question of The Archive not displaying the information.
I have tried the obvious things, like changing archive, quitting and restarting, and nothing seems to work.
I tried searching but cannot think of words that do not include every post about notes.
Any suggestions to how I can see my notes again?
Thanks
Jeremy
Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

Now that's awkward! Does the right-hand pane, where the editor window is supposed to be, show the "Nothing Selected" placeholder, or does it show an empty text box? (Can you click inside and Cmd+A select all content? Just to rule out it's a white text on white background kind of problem)
Which macOS version are you currently running?
In the meantime, you can get v1.5.2 here to access your notes right away: https://dlyfuw95744jo.cloudfront.net/TheArchive-v1.5.2.dmg
Would be great if you keep the v1.5.3 around, too, to hunt down the problem!

It shows Nothing Selected.
I am on 10.13.6
For now, I can look at individual notes when I need to, so I will hold off getting 1.5.2 but will revert in a couple of days when I need to do more work on my notes.
You mean with an external app?
Please do not expect a fix to ship before the weekend as I need to find out the cause of your problem, first.

Yes, with an external app. I sync in Dropbox, and the content is there. I can open with any text editor -- one of the great benefits of The Archive.
@Jeremy I cannot get the problem to manifest on my 10.13.6 machine, sadly.
Please select a note within the app to trigger the problem then choose "Send Log Files" from the "Help" menu within the app and send me the log for today via email; maybe I can find something in there.
Also, could you try your luck with v1.5.4? https://dlyfuw95744jo.cloudfront.net/TheArchive-v1.5.4.zip

@ctietze @Jeremy Just letting you know that I am using TA 1.5.4 with my ZK in a Dropbox file and everything is working fine.
I just emailed today's logfile. The really strange part is that I have an identical setup on two machines, an iMac and a Macbook Air. The iMac works perfectly, the MBA has the problem. I made sure that all the preferences were identical on both machines. I also checked that the files, shared with DropBox, are present locally on both machines.
I thought I would wait and see whether you can find anything before I try to update to 1.5.4

Solved (via Stack Overflow): in case anyone else has a similar problem, turns out the dropbox copy on my MBA had become corrupted. I logged out of Dropbox, deleted the file locally, then logged onto dropbox again, and after syncing everything worked again.
Jeremy - thanks for sharing the solution. A lot of us use Dropbox.
