Data is held in files with random names and json extensions, making them indistinguishable from all sorts of other files.
The problem
If the user is in the position where they need to find and backup their local BoostNote data, it would be an awful lot easier if the files had a dedicated extension '.bsjson' say, or were prefixed with 'boostnote' - or both - as it is, the user has to identify all small recently changed .json files, which as you might imagine, can be an awful lot of files.
Suggested solution
Just making the names so they are easily identifyable would make this a breeze, just backup all boostnote*.* or all *.bsjson for example.
I appreciate this isn't how you're supposed to back it up, but around lunch today my Windows machine half died, mouse doesn't even work, applications not running, all I can get at is filestore, and I happened to put a lot of stuff into BoostNote this morning so not in last nights drive backup and I need to reinstall WIndows to get working again but can't locate the data and am having to do all this with keyboard only, which I'm not used to any more !
If this was OneNote then sure, nightmare but I thought one of the great things about BoostNote was that in the end it was just little text files which I could have easily taken a copy of and read in Notepad++, if I could just find them. I thought they'd all be under the BoostNote folder I created on install but seems the new workspaces I created found themselves in AppData, and not in json files.
I ditched OneNote in favour of BoostNote specifically to get away from the application hiding my text notes data in a cryptic unreadable format, so I'm puzzled at where my notes have gone.
