Where Does Basket Store Notes?

Basket Note Pads baskets data, backgrounds, templates and rc file.

Last updated

Basket keeps notes in a baskets folder under local share with backgrounds and templates beside it. Settings live in an rc file under config. A flag overrides the data root.

Legacy KDE dot trees predate XDG builds. Modern installs ignore them after migration. Keep the XDG pair together.

Frequently asked questions

How do I back up Basket?

Copy the baskets data folder plus the rc file with the app closed. Backgrounds and templates travel in data. Restoring means putting both back before launch. A flag redirects the data root.

What about the old kde folders?

KDE3 era dot folders serve migration only. Current builds use XDG config and data homes. Leave the legacy trees behind after importing.
