Linux mint: reverts to default configuration on start

[ColinMaudry]

Current behavior

I install v16.1 with the .deb.

Any change to the default configuration is ignored on the next start.

Expected behavior

Changes to the configuration should be kept when the the app is started again.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Boostnote
2. Switch notes to 'compact' display
3. Restart notes

Notes are displayed normally, not in compact mode. You can replace 2. with any other configuration change:

• add a storage
• change theme
• etc.

Environment

• Boostnote version: 0.16.1-1
• OS version and name: Linux Mint 20.1

~/.config/Boostnote/config.json seems to be where the non-default configuration gets saved.

The modification date of the file changes, but the content remains the same:

{
	"windowsize": {
		"x": 40,
		"y": 28,
		"width": 1880,
		"height": 1172
	},
	"autoUpdateEnabled": true
}

I have done a new fresh install to study how I could migrate my notes to another tool... and the custom configuration is here: theme, compact view, etc. Not sure what happened.

The configuration is not in ~/.config/Boostnote/config.json, as it still has the same content as above.

My only but wild guess is that the upgrade 0.13 => 0.16.1 caused some damage, and it solved itself somehow.

Mysteriously solved.
