--- Comment #22 from Wolfgang Bauer <wbauer at tmo.at> ---
I tried again now with a completely fresh User account, and knotes (4.13.3) did
behave ok:
- when creating a new note, it opened a dialog asking in which collection the
note should be stored (offering to set it as default as well)
- afterwards it also asked whether that collection should be enabled, so that
its notes are visible.

It did show the same behavior when I copied over old (legacy) notes to a fresh
user account and skipped the offered migration. I.e. when creating a new note,
it asked where to store it and whether to enable that collection.

The second case definitely behaved differently when I tried with 4.13.2 (see
comment#18 and comment#19), so either this got fixed in the meantime, or
there's another factor causing the problem.

What I can still reproduce though is that creating new notes silently fails if
the default collection doesn't exist any more, f.e. because the user deleted it
in Systemsettings->Personal Information->Configure Akonadi Resources.
IMHO knotes should ask for a collection in this case as well.

Steps to reproduce:
- set a default collection to save notes to in knotes' settings
- make sure knotes works, i.e. you can create notes
- quit knotes (not sure if this is necessary but I did it in my test)
- open systemsettings->Personal Information->Configure Akonadi Resources and
delete the akonotes resource that has been set as default in step#1
- start knotes again
When you now try to create a new note, nothing happens. You only will get the
message 'Error during fetch:  "Collection xxx does not exist"' if you started
it in a konsole.
It should show a dialog in this case as well.
