Sever links to items that are in the trash

I hadn't synced one computer in several weeks and this resulted in old copies of notes in old locations. I identified the old ones and moved them to the trash, but new links to existing notes, intended to link to the newer non-trashed version sometimes led to the trash version. Once something is in trash it should probably take a little more effort to get to, and if there is something in the trash with the same name as something not in the trash, the non-trash item should probably be favored.

Should work by now. NotePlan is not following notes into the trash folder anymore and if there is one and you click on a link with a title like in trash, it creates a new note instead (if it's not existing yet). Hope it works as desired now! Also the issue where deleted notes in the iOS sidebar lingered was fixed in one of the last updates. More sync fixes t follow).

I'll need to find a way to reproduce this. However, can you elaborate: > but new links to existing notes, intended to link to the newer non-trashed version sometimes led to the trash version

Eduard Metzger: I had a (more recent) note called “Badgr” arrive in in my “001: Projects” folder due to sync and an old one also called “Badgr” (older content) that I threw in the trash. then I went to a recent daily note that linked to “Badgr” and wound up at the trash one, even though the other was more recent and the one I had been using the previous day on a different computer. My expectation was that putting the older “Badgr” in the trash would prevent this, but I didn’t get the desired behavior until I emptied the trash.

Jon Plummer: Ah, I got it now! Makes sense. I misread "sever" as "server". Have noted it, though I couldn't reproduce it with a quick test, but probably I'll find something in the code.

Eduard Metzger: Partly this is a result of a sync "problem" introduced by a lot of time going by between syncs on one machine, while data is being regularly updated (and moved around) on another machine. It'd be great if that worked better as well, but I know that sync is hard.
