Hi, I have stumbled upon a very inconvenient thing while using anytype.
I have objects that are more like notes, sometimes I create new ones, by adding them right away in as a connection in some separate note. (For example - If I am on a page of an employee, and there’s a list of people who he has collaboration with. I write them down and that immediately creates their pages as a specific object type.)
So the problem is sometimes when I’m typing existing name to make a relation, somehow the program does not see them as the same one. I very frequently just press enter after typing the name and what I have as a result is several notes of a single person. No alarm or a typical response to “enter”, it just creates a new note.
It it VERY stressful and inconvenient, especially when I see that I have edited both of the notes and now I have to move lots of info.
What my suggestion is:
- add a toggle that I don’t want to have two files with the same name within a chosen object type. When I add them there should be a notification so I could quickly rename it and still have an added connection with a new object.
- change the response to “enter”, it should just select and connect an existing object with this name, as well as if there’re some small typos.
