"Opened file was modified on disk" pop up when saved about rnote

[ImTheCurse]

It only seems to happen to me when I save the .rnote files on oneDrive / google drive, but not on local save.

I am saving the files on my onedrive filesystem

Then this might be better fixed by cloud storage integration

I'm on linux with ZFS and I'm seeing this "Opened file was modified on disk" on autosave. One time I clicked it and it reverted my file to be empty.

On version 0.10.1-1 arch linux package

Can you run the app with trace logging enabled (Either flatpak --env=RUST_LOG=rnote=trace run com.github.flxzt.rnote or RUST_LOG=rnote=trace rnote ) and post the output, excluding the pointer events?

I realize I had two instances open. One was on a 3rd virtual desktop which I didn't notice. It had the file open when it was just empty. So it was overwriting the file with an empty copy. When I looked back in my ZFS snapshot history, the file sizes were alternating between 256KB and 743 bytes (empty). Today I opened the file and it was empty, and I realized there was the extra instance open. Unfortunately I didn't have the right snapshot for the last 6 hours or so so lost some notes.

Should I open a separate feature request for something like: "prevent same file being auto-saved in multiple instances"?

At least the warning is there, but user error on my part to not realize a 2nd instance was overwriting the file. Other users may also be curious if they find that situation and click the "reload file" which will revert their file to the state that 2nd instance has.
