Bug report

I am in the process of fixing require('electron').remote from the latest version of Inkdrop as it no longer works.

require('electron').remote is no longer available for plugins. Use require('@electron/remote') instead.

Related issue:

I am working on replacing @electron/remote in this branch, but when I switch notes several times, I get the following error and the app crashes.
Do you know what causes this?

Error: Cannot get property '_id' on missing remote object 591

Hi Seito-san,

Thanks for the report. That’s weird. I’ll look into it!

Oh, it looks like you’ve added @electron/remote as a dependency to your plugin. It’s unnecessary because Inkdrop provides it out of the box. Can you try removing it?

Wow! Thank you Takuya.
I removed the dependencies and it worked.
