[BUG] App crashing when deleting notes stored on Google Drive

igm2103

I have recently started encountering this problem with TheArchive (and notes stored on Google Drive): if I try to delete a note, I get the rainbow-spinning wheel. I left it spin for several minutes, but nothing happens; after I force quite the app, I get a notification from Google Drive that the file was deleted.

I don't encounter this problem if I delete a note stored on my physical drive, so I imagine there must be a conflict with Google Drive.

There's been talk about the newer macOS file integrations to be somewhat limited or broken.

@igm2103 I've prepared two private "beta" builds.

1. This one behaves like the current official version but puts more info into the log. Please run this, make it hang, and then quit the app; then try the next one

2. This one skips an optional check on the file system. This could potentially reduce interoperability with other apps because The Archive won't tell macOS about its
   intent to delete the file, but also help prevent macOS from freezing The Archive in return:

When you tried both, please send me the log file for the day from the "Help" menu so I can verify what happened.
