Today i opened a note that i created a couple of days ago. It contains two internal links. I can not open these anymore. The target has become invalid. I exported the note to xml to verify the content.
Example link:
open here <notelink uid="c0d63389-71fb-4d36-a03d-ca47500aac17" notebookUid="3beca790-bfdc-4f76-b39f-8626317b5bb6">This is a broken link</notelink>
To fix the link i selected the text and pressed Ctrl+Alt+L, saved and exported the note again.
Now the link looks like this:
open here <notelink uid="c0d63389-71fb-4d36-a03d-ca47500aac17">Now the links is fine again</notelink>
Obviously the issue has something to do with the notebookUid. Last week i recreated my database and did an import from my old sqlite-db. I also did some XML-export/import tests. Another source for this could be cutting and pasting the note between sections.
Is it actually necessary to store the notebookUid?
Anyhow, links remain a source of disappointment. I like the feature, but it is about time to get them working error-free.

Re: Links again - target becomes invalid
Hi, thanks for report!
When you import notes from db or xml file note links target is old notebook file.
I confirm this is bug, thanks! Will be fixed in 2.1.

I created a fresh database and did an import. I checked for one note, which has several links. All internal links were correct after an import, regardless of whether importing from a db-file or a xml-file
