[Bug] Note duplicating by itself

[FedeTress]

It happens often that, during usage of the app, the app duplicates the file with a _1 appended with no reason. I understand this is part of a note integrity system, but for some reason this keeps happening during normal note-taking activity. I initially was using syncthing, I tried uninstalling it to solve the issue but it did not stop.

I have no idea of why it does that, so maybe if there is no fix because of the little data I gave a on/off option for the integrity system could be enough

A note is forked with a suffix like _1 when another application changes the underlying file while you're editing it in xnotes. This is a safety mechanism to prevent potential data loss. Instead of overwriting either version, xnotes keeps both copies.

This could happen, for example, if you open a note while it's still being synced, or if the same note is being edited from two places at the same time.

Uninstalling Syncthing should have stopped this behavior if it was the source of those external changes. Since you're still experiencing it without Syncthing, I'll test this setup myself with Syncthing to see if there's a bug or edge case in xnotes that's causing this to happen during normal note-taking.

Unfortunately, with syncthing uninstalled, this is the situation after just an hour of note taking.
I don't know if it could be because of the position of the notes in the SD (but i wouldn't place them elsewhere since it is one of the main reason this app is better than most) or because of the limited ram and specs of my tablet.
