Problems during archive initialization with Typora file changes

instant

I use Typora to edit some of my Markdown files, and it creates temporary files with the filename note~.md. The problem is that The Archive seems to load these files into its DB, so although they are not present anymore, I get super annoying "Problems during archive initialization, not a note: note~.md" messages.

Is there any setting that I can use to ignore these files, or at least prevent this error message from popping up?

I'll look into this. When the files are deleted again, The Archive should just forget about them, so the error you report is certainly not expected.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

This was a weird one because I thought these ~ files are used as backup, but they're created and then destroyed immediately, overwriting the actual destination. This is used to prevent data loss during save operations. I don't know why they don't use the macOS built-in standard save algorithm that does the same but without confusing other apps

The next cutting edge update ships with a couple of changes that should make this more bearable.

That's awesome! I can suggest the macOS built-in standard save algorithm on their github issues. Thanks a bunch for looking into this so fast!

v1.7.1 stops nagging after presenting the error once, so I fixed the constant annoyance. Future updates will include additional adjustments.
