Current behaviour

From the forum:

An error occurred: Fatal error:

Cannot change or delete a read-only item: e3ce90472d9f4e8b95acff6a437d0cac

   at async setupAutoDeletion
...

This happens when Joplin attempts to remove old read-only items from the trash on startup.

In particular, the error is happening here:

joplin/packages/lib/services/trash/permanentlyDeleteOldItems.ts

Line 23 in 24542ca

await Note.batchDelete(result.noteIds, { sourceDescription: 'permanentlyDeleteOldItems' });

permanentlyDeleteOldItems calls Note.batchDelete, which calls BaseItem.batchDelete, which calls checkIfItemsCanBeChanged:

joplin/packages/lib/models/BaseItem.ts

Line 311 in 24542ca

checkIfItemsCanBeChanged(this.modelType(), options.changeSource, previousItems, this.syncShareCache);

This then throws a JoplinError because one of the items is read-only:

joplin/packages/lib/models/utils/readOnly.ts

Line 45 in 24542ca

throw new JoplinError(`Cannot change or delete a read-only item: ${item.id}`, ErrorCode.IsReadOnly);

Expected behaviour

Joplin should not try crash on startup.

Update: This may not affect mobile — setupAutoDeletion is currently only called in BaseApplication, which is not used on mobile.

Hmmm...
Maybe I should take the brave step of trying a prerelease for the first time. So far, I've only used the ‘normal’ versions that were automatically offered to me – currently still Joplin 3.1.24 (prod, win32)
From your point of view, is there anything wrong with me installing V3.2.6 from https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/releases/download/v3.2.6/Joplin-Setup-3.2.6.exe?
That is the Windows version, isn't it?

I have installed this version.
The profile started was that of a basic user who only has read-only rights to my shares.
He got the error message:
