HelixNotes Real-Time Saving Behavior Issue #59

JGM commented 2026年05月07日 12:06:36 +02:00

Hi!

HelixNotes behaves differently when saving data in real-time depending on where the vault and its subfolders are located.

Let me explain: if the vault is stored on the system drive (in my case, Linux Mint 22.3, in any personal folder), everything works smoothly—no issues, fast performance, and seamless note-saving without interruptions.

However, if the vault is placed on a removable drive, the writing process becomes choppy. Any operation I try suffers from delays of 1–2 seconds, disrupting the flow of real-time saving. To be honest, it’s quite unpleasant.

I don’t think this is a hardware resource issue (AMD Ryzen 5 7600 6-Core Processor ×ばつ 6, GeForce RTX 3050 8GB, and 32.0 GB RAM). I’ve also tried enabling/disabling GPU acceleration in HelixNotes’ settings, but it made no difference.

I’m really disappointed because HelixNotes is almost a perfect app—well-designed and perfectly suited to my needs. Plus, the ability to work with an LLM model locally (localhost via Ollama or even LMStudio) is fantastic and works flawlessly.

Have I missed any setting that could fix this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your time and effort—I really appreciate it.
Best regards,

Hello.
I have updated HelixNotes to version 1.3 and there is no longer any problem with the delay when autosaving the text while writing a note. Furthermore, it is now much smoother when performing any task, opening different vaults, adding tags, or simply switching from one note to another.
I like the added changes. This application is a little big treasure! Thank you very much.
