Annotations are stored in the metadata.db file which is located in the folder of the original file. File-information and annotations are stored in different tables and are linked together using a file-id (which is a number).
So for annotations to be stored, the original file needs to be in the metadata.db file, to link the annotations to the file-id. If you copy a file 'fresh' form your PC in a folder, never browse the folder and open the file via a short-cut copied from the PC, no entry will have been created in the metadata.db for the file. So there is no way to link the annotations to the file.
(The shortcut you copied from the Recent-folder, links to a file that must be in a metadata.db file, otherwise, no shortcut would not have been created in the Recent-folder.)
So the next experiment:
- first go to the folder of the actual file that you copied (you don't have to open the file, browsing the folder is enough)
- Then open the file via the shortcut and make some annotations
- Close and reopen
If this works we need to find a way to add new files to the metadata.db, so annotations can be linked to the file.
