Recovery from failure to download notes

Because the option to save notes is broken and only allows saving them to the database rather than to the database and a folder, I was trying various ways to replace ownnote or to work around the issue.

In the course of doing this, one of the applications I installed seems to have broken the file sync operation in ownnote. I had to re-enter my connection information and after that the application would try to download notes and finally fail with an InternalError message.

I tried removing and reloading ownnote. This did not work.

What did work was going into Settings | Backup & restore and turning off Automatic restore and then reloading ownnote. All 164 notes that were in the database were re-loaded.
