Steps to reproduce

Starting from scratch, what are the steps to make the bug happen? The fewer the steps, the better.

  • Turn on offline mode
  • Turn on sharing for a document
  • Turn off sharing for a document
  • Document is gone

Expected result

What do you expect to see after carrying out the steps above?

  • No option to share a document when in offline mode
    Or
  • Turn on sharing for a document
  • Turn off sharing for a document
  • Document is still available

Actual result

Instead of the expected result, what happened?

  • Turn on offline mode
  • Turn on sharing for a document
  • Turn off sharing for a document
  • Document is gone

Environment

Which operating system are you using? MacOS
Which browser are you using? Electron app?
If youā€™re using a desktop or mobile app, whatā€™s the version number of Dynalist? Donā€™t know where to find this.
Are you using any third-party scripts for Dynalist, e.g. PowerPack? Nope.

Same. Those steps reproduce the bug for me too.
Warning - do no try this on a document you care about.
Donā€™t worry, I tried it on a test document.

Document was in the sidebar, but after those steps, it only opened the ā€œNo document is openā€ page. Shared it again, and document disappeared completely, never to be seen again.

So, did you lose an important document?

#3

I see my document is still on my hard driveā€¦itā€™s just not visible thru the dynalist appā€¦

/Users/bigchungus/Library/Application Support/Dynalist/dynalist/data/XXXXXXXXXXXX/document-~XXXXXXXXXXXX.data

#4

UPDATE: killing the dynalist app and reopening it brought the doc back. Try that @Sander

#5

Hmmm good catch, I guess sharing options shouldnā€™t do anything for documents in offline mode. Will fix soon.

#6

Nothing is lost, I was just testing the offline option and this happened. Iā€™m happy that Shida will fix this soon.
