Nothing happens

I have tried to uninstall, delete the storage, and re-install. No luck.

This is through the File Menu
No messages are visible on the developer console

Unfortunately, this video does not help to understand the cause.

@manurana Have you chosen the folder where you want to add the snippet?

[manurana]

I have chosen a folder, yes (It was there by default)

Folder has been created on the file system, and also has a db.json file in it

Yes, I understand it's very difficult to debug. I cannot see any error messages, even in the console.
If you have any suggestions, I can follow them

@manurana Your video does not show that you have the Default folder selected, it is not highlighted.

[manurana]

@antonreshetov , I highlighted the Inbox and tried it again, same issue.
I also tried to move the storage to a different location. Still no luck.

[antonreshetov]

@manurana Again, select the Default folder or some other folder and add a snippet. Snippets are not added to system folders.

[manurana]

@antonreshetov . OK , I got it
I was highlighting inbox.

When I highlighted Default, now I am able to create a snippet

I think from a UX perspective, either it should be highlighted by default, or the user should be able to create a snippet even without highlighting.

Thanks for walking me through this.

@manurana Your manipulation with erasing db.json and creating a new one most likely resulted in keeping the old selected folder in the electron store. But this is an edge case, I do not think that it is necessary to fix it somehow
