I recently accidentally overwrote a note which then synced. Having no access to note version history in the app I checked my backup folder in Google Drive. The naming convention for the JSON files in the data directory (e.g. note:HJyRKWYqz.json) made it very tricky to figure out which one corresponded to the note in question. Is there a way to view this unique note string in the app easily so that I can see which backup a note corresponds to?
Hi Dan,
You can get an ID of note currently opened by following steps:
- Open up Developer Tools
- Enter below code in the console:
inkdrop.flux.getStore('editor').state.noteId
However, your note in backup has been also overwritten because it syncs almost immediately.
Hope that helps.

Which is why I’m backing up to a directory that’s synced to a service that versions the file changes 
Thanks for the tip.

Wow, nice idea!

Thanks!
Just tried the JS snippet you provided and noted that the console doesn’t support copy & paste! Is there any way we can make this info easier to get to from the Inkdrop GUI?
Weird, I confirmed that copy&paste works on macOS and Linux just now. Maybe context menu should help.
Yeah, just tried it again, still no copy/paste for me for some strange reason.
Maybe context menu should help.
Context menu in Inkdrop? Yes, that would be great!
Yeah, you should be able to use a context menu which has items to copy & paste by right-clicking on the console.
