--- Comment #2 from [email protected] --- (In reply to Igor Poboiko from comment #1) > KJots is currently completely based on the KDE PIM stack, including Akonadi > which is used to create/open/modify notes, even locally Why does an app for writing/reading text require personal information management tools? How is that relevant to notes-taking? For example, I wouldn't want an app for notes to have access to my contacts and so on. It seems to be unnecessary/badly designed and a privacy concern. > Please also note that KJots stores notes in a very specific maildir format, > and is not intended to be used as a general purpose document/text editor > (e.g. use it to modify ordinary plain text files, OpenDocument format files, > etc.). I don't understand why it can't open plain text files instead of only making it an option to read/save as maildir. >There are better applications for that purpose. Which? Anything better than Kate? I submitted this issue because of a major issue with Kate for note-taking and am looking for a similar app: https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/702033/233262 > As for the issues you experience with the Akonadi: due to the "mysqld not > found" line I would suggest installing mysql server and probably sending a > bugreport to the distribution you use (Debian), which should have mysqld as > a dependency for Akonadi. Why would one need to install mysql server for a note-taking app? This is just very wrong, especially if it's a dependency instead of optional. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
