Deleting notes doesn't allow new notes with same name

[jlm]

I want to re-import a notes folder. So I delete the set of notes ("Cornelius a Lapide"), selecting "Move to Trash." At this point I can see that the file has been deleted. I then try to import a new notes folder to the same name, but I get the error "A module with the name 'Cornelius a Lapide' already exists." A zero-size file appears in place of the deleted notes file.

 

The workaround is to close Accordance and restart it after deleting the notes. Then it is possible to import a notes folder to the same name without an error.

 

Generally I have the notes open before deleting them (and get a warning message), but it also happens if they aren't open any more: after the error "A module with the name…", I deleted the zero-size file Accordance Files/User Notes and tried again, but got the same error.

 

Accordance 13.0.1.1, macOS 10.14.6

When you deleted the notes files, did you delete them in finder or by removing them from your library?

 

EDIT: Never mind, found the problem.
