Lost save.json file while updating

[Gereks123]

I actually did backup my save.json and notes folder. Somehow my save.json got replaced with the default one when installing the latest version of Codex. Now I am in a pickle.

My notes folders does show the latest changes I've made to the folders but my save.json file is totally wiped. Am i screwed?

Thanks in advance!

Just to inform, the save.json got replaced in my other TOTALLY different folder that i made myself. This might have been my own error. But that's still strange, because I did not touch the backed up folder I made.

I don't really see how the app could've overwritten the separate backup that you made

Worst case scenario, the save.json is just a list of all of your notebooks/pages, and the actual contents of your notes are in the notes folder.

So you could create a bunch of Pages in the app, or make a Notebook in the app & copy/paste a bunch of empty pages in the save.json

"children": [
    {
        "name": "Searching & Sorting",
        "id": "bad7dcdd-7e56-4f46-9b20-e2807b34e4f9",
        "color": "#999999",
        "icon": "file-text",
        "fileName": "Searching--Sortingbad7dcdd-",
        "textContent": "",
        "favorited": false
    },
    // ^^^ copy and paste, change the ID to something unique
]

then go through and hook up each one of those pages in the save.json to the json files that are in your notes folder by setting the "fileName": "..." property in the copies

Got it, generated some pages but the contents are still gone. That's totally on me, thanks for the help tho!
