Ok, as I suspected. Apparently a non-existent collection was selected.
After you selected the existing one it works.

Good to hear that you can create notes now.

Well, IMHO this is still a valid bug, because such a thing should not happen.

knotes definitely should present the user a comprehensible error message in
such a case. At the moment, it just silently fails (except for a message in the
terminal which most users won't see).

Or even better, it could open a dialog to pick a valid collection.
