Upgrade to desktop8.ndk

I just upgraded from 8.02 to 8.5 fp1Got crashes (nsd) when:

I try to compact the workspace

I click (right or left) on a particular icon that was working in desktop6 and of course I cannot remove it: when I press delete → nsd.

nsd when I launch Notes, before the prompting password.

nfixup and ncompact did not fix the issue.

Does anyone know about the icon object in desktop.ndk? does it have a noteid? How to access such an object? desktop.ndk does not show in NotesPeeK. Is there a way other than creating a new workspace?

Thanks.

Subject: delete

try this: quit notes, move the desktop8 from the data folder to your desktop and restart notes.if there is a desktop6 it will create a new desktop8.

if the problem persists quit notes. delete the new dekstop8-file and move also the bookmarks.nsf to your desktop.

this should work.

if not remove desktop6 and move bookmark.nsf (overwrite new) back from your desktop.

Subject: same issue.

I renamed bookmark and desktop8. A new one was created from the old desktop6.Same problem.

I have 12 pages and tens of icons so I do not want to create a blank workspace.

I will live with it.

It is a pity that it is so difficult to find any information about these icons. My workspace is 60MB of data and no trace of them with the tools

I know (notespeek, designer)

Thks.

Subject: other ideas

2 other ideas:1. in the workspace proterties you can set the caching: set it higher as the size.

  • exit notes
  1. check the notes.ini if the cache file location is set → at some customers this caused a crash when trying to compact the desktop.

→ remark or remove the line ‘CACHE=xxxx’

now restart notes and check if you can compact the workspace.

Subject: desktop8.ndk

Try to rename desktop8.ndk, rename bookmark.nsf, delete cache.ndk.Then delete the workspace folder under the Notes data directory (you can also cut and paste it as a backup.

If this doesn’t work you can always revert back.
