Environment
Application: Sticky Notes
Flatpak ID: com.vixalien.sticky
Version: 0.2.7
Installation: Flathub
Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04
Description
After launching Sticky Notes, only one existing note is displayed, even though all note files are still present on disk.
The application opens a single floating note window and does not provide a note list or browser to access the remaining notes.
Expected Behavior
On startup, all existing notes should remain accessible, regardless of whether they were open when the application was last closed.
Actual Behavior
Only notes with the following property are loaded:
"open": true
Notes with:
"open": false
or with the open property missing are not displayed anywhere in the application, despite their files existing and containing valid data.
Investigation
The note files are stored in:
~/.var/app/com.vixalien.sticky/data/com.vixalien.sticky/notes/
In my case:
13 note files exist (UUID filenames).
Only 1 note is displayed after launching the application.
The JSON structure of the hidden notes appears valid and matches the visible note. The only significant difference is the open property.
Example of a visible note:
{
"uuid": "...",
"title": "...",
"content": "...",
"open": true
}
Example of a hidden note:
{
"uuid": "...",
"title": "...",
"content": "...",
"open": false
}
or
{
"uuid": "...",
"title": "...",
"content": "..."
}
(with no open field)
Reproduction / Evidence
As a test, I manually edited one hidden note and changed:
"open": false
to
"open": true
After restarting the application, that note appeared normally.
This suggests the application only loads notes marked as "open": true.
Additional Information
The note contents are intact.
The JSON files are valid.
There was no Flatpak update, no Ubuntu upgrade, no crash, no forced shutdown, and no intentional closing of all notes before the problem occurred.
The issue appeared unexpectedly after a normal launch of the application.
Possible Issue
It appears that Sticky Notes is treating the open property as the criterion for discovering existing notes rather than only determining which notes should automatically reopen on startup.
If this is intentional behavior, there should be another way to access notes that are not currently open. Otherwise, it may be a bug in the startup logic or in how the open state is persisted.
