A severe bug condition has come up for 1.1R1.


If...
1. your current folder contains only one note,
2. and you then tap on the file button (green folder icon),
3. and, in the "File Note" form, you then create a new folder,
4. and, still in the note form, you then decide to not enter that
newly created folder, and instead just press OK,

then, the data for your current folder will become corrupt and your
application will freeze, forcing a device (soft) reset.



This is not good, and I have unpublished ninerpad 1.1R1 from this site
and vendor sites, pending the fix.

The next release, version 1.1R2, will be released a few hours from now
and will also add a quick sanity check (and repairs, if corruption
_is_ detected) for every launch of ninerpad, helping prevent this type
of problem in the future.

Thanks, and apologies to those who accidentally stumbled upon that
bug,
Alex

Well, that's part of what we are here stumbling around for, isn't it.
I am glad some folks were able to find this, tho sorry for any
problems it caused them.

Onward ho, Alex - nobody finds all their own bugs!

Thanks for your work.

Oh sleep, fleeting sleep.

We forget that we are still testing.
