If you do have a backup, just restore it, overwriting the current version. Time Machine may be of assistance, or BackBlaze/Mozy/Arq, etc. If you do neither, you’re out of luck unless you have a backup of the Notes & Settings file from before the first time you ran the updated nvALT.That’s an ideal solution, as any tags created up to that point will show back up. If you store your notes as files in Dropbox, you can delete the Notes & Settings file in your Dropbox folder and restore it to a previous version using the web interface for Dropbox.If you sync via Simplenote, just delete the Notes & Settings file on your drive, and let the notes sync back down.If you happen to be a new user and don’t have any notes you need to save, just delete the Notes & Settings file (See below for where to find the file) and let nvALT create a new one.No matter which you choose, you’ll be missing your local tags until the new version comes out, and any tags created between now and then won’t be kept (older tags will be restored, if I get it right). In the meantime, if you want to use the current version of nvALT and can’t, here are some options.
#NOTATIONAL VELOCITY SIMPLENOTE NOT FOUND UPDATE#
More instructions on that as soon as I get the interim update out. When the final 1.0.8 comes out, it should be able to use the original database, which Simplenote and/or Dropbox will have kept up-to-date.

You will, however, lose your local tags (Simplenote tags will be fine). If you import from Dropbox, you can store both preference files in the Dropbox folder, and your notes will show back up from there. If you sync with Simplenote and don’t run both versions at the same time, your notes will stay the same. In the meantime, I will soon be posting an interim version which switches the database it uses, creating a new one with a different name. I’m working on the next version of nvALT, but incorporating the changes is proving tedious and it’s going to be a little while (a week or two, I think). The database changes, and even though it offers to run anyway, either button quits the app. If you’ve run the newest version of Notational Velocity, you may have noticed that you can no longer run nvALT ( as mentioned here). These bugs have been confidence shattering.Unimportant update: its an update, not an udpate. I was considering upgrading to Premium before, but now I'm probably going to discontinue use of the service entirely. It doesn't make any sense – take a service that was working fine at a somewhAt expensive price, make it worse to the point where people are losing their data, and then raise the price. Finally, your price for premium is absolutely ludicrous considering how glitchy the service has become. If the feature doesn't work, don't release it! Personally, I think tags are not really needed – this is supposed to be a basic notepad, not Evernote. Note to the developers – if you're going to add in features like tags, make sure they work first! It's really annoying to spend a lot of time tagging notes only to see that it was a waste because the tags don't sync across platforms. Simplenote used to be a great app, but ever since the update that added new features like tags and the ugly new icon, it has been a mess.

There are many Dropbox based text editors on the market now that provide very similar functionality, and you can use Notional Velocity to point to a folder of text files on the desktop. Maybe other people are willing to hang in there and lose their data, but I am not one of them. Syncing has become completely unreliable, and tags don't sync between iPad and iPhone at all.
