Hello,
I will sometimes keep the Drafts quick capture window up for long periods of time as a sort of floating window scratch pad. In the middle of the night yesterday, I finally figured out the key to unlocking the entire structure of a book I’ve been working on, nearly outlining the entire thing over the course of two hours. I fell asleep on my couch, and my computer rebooted itself before I woke up. When I opened up the quick capture window again, only a few lines from wayyyy earlier in the day were in that quick capture note.
I’ve never really worried about hitting “Save” on the QC window, because it’s always persisted, even after reboots. There is no “version history” because it was never saved and thus stored as a note that could be accessed from the sidebar. I tried saving the few lines that were there as a note, to see if it would then allow me to access some kind of version history, but no luck – hopefully my saving it didn’t overwrite something now.
How does Drafts persist the text in a Quick Capture window? I assumed it was sort of “live-writing” to the file the way Obsidian does. Is there a way to access some kind of quick capture window memory in Drafts? I’m freaking out a little tbh
