Changing note template title makes it stop working as template
Last modified: 2010-07-25 17:03:50 UTC
Please describe the problem: I describe this in the steps Steps to reproduce: 1. Open "Preferences" window and click on "Open a new note template" 2. Modify title to "Nota" and description to "Hello!" 3. Try to create a New note Actual results: The same default template is used Expected results: I would expect to get my modified one :-) Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: Thanks a lot
The problem here is that you shouldn't change the title of your template notes, or else they stop working as templates. We are obviously doing a poor job conveying this, so I'm changing this bug's summary to be about making this work better. I suppose we could show a warning if a user tries to change the title, or prevent them from making any changes, or something. Ideas and patches welcome.
I think that simply preventing title change would be the simpler option but, sadly, I don't know how to do that :-(
I actually like the idea of being able to change note template titles. I understand why we don't allow the title to change currently, but I think that it shouldn't be /too/ difficult to simply track note templates in a different way. What if we used a special NoteTag instead of Title? We would, of course, need a default template note title, but that's easy enough.
