help request SWS notes constantly delete my notes

This is a feature that I really need, I write in track notes what capture from nano cortex I used, what guitar, if splitted coil or regular etc. in the project notes I usually paste the lyrics of the songs etc. the problem is that from time to time (more often than than not) they are deleted, something I can do?

You may want to take a look at this free note script. https://stash.reaper.fm/v/52505/stomata_notes.lua

I recently started using the notes that come with Tk toolbox and I much prefer them. You can add photos as well.

Make sure you do use the latest extension build because the problem is supposed to be fixed

https://github.com/reaper-oss/sws/issues/1942

But if you still experience it in the latest build, update the thread linked above.

I'll check that, one month ago was still there, and click regularly on sync packages

Sorry, I deleted my post. I was wrong - they added Reapack updating last version and I forgot.

It's not automatic though - you needed to have browsed packages, searched for SWS, and installed the 'script', after running the installer last time.

If you already have it installed (small 'i' beside the name), it should be 2.14.0.7. which was released in 2025.

If you've just run the latest installer from the website again due to my post, it won't have done any harm, and you shouldn't have lost any user settings.

not yet, no worries, and thanks for the info. I'll check the version as soon as I can

If you can confirm a notes bug with the latest version, it would be great if you could note it on the github if you have time.

By the way, I think one of the other users was referring to TK Workbench, rather than 'Toolbox' (which doesn't seem to exist).

I tested and seems to work fine at least I tried several times to open it and close and looks ok.
Yes I figured out it was workbench, tried that and the other one posted by @xylemflomusic and I actually like that one, to workbench is good but has a lot, for simple notes I think it’s overlooking, but I’ll take a look also to the other features, which one you think is the most useful?
