📝 Title of the Pull Request

Desktop: Fix Resource Duplication Issue in Note Duplication (#11382 )


📋 Description

This PR addresses an issue where duplicating a note containing resources (such as images) led to formatting issues in both the original and duplicated notes. The root cause was identified in the note duplication process, where resources were not correctly handled, resulting in shared references between the notes.

🛠 What This PR Does

  • Fixes the resource duplication bug by ensuring that the duplicateNoteResources() function creates independent copies of resources for duplicated notes.
  • Ensures that the original note remains unaffected during the duplication process.
  • Guarantees that the duplicated note references resources correctly and independently, thus preserving the formatting.

🧩 How It Works

  1. Enhanced duplicateNoteResources() Function:

    • Replaced all occurrences of resource IDs in the duplicated note body with new IDs using a global regular expression.
    • Ensures that each duplicated resource is assigned a new, unique ID.
  2. Updated duplicate() Method:

    • Improved handling of both the note body and its associated tags during duplication.
    • Ensured no overlap between the original and duplicated notes.
  3. Added Error Handling:

    • Introduced error handling to gracefully manage issues during the duplication process without affecting note integrity.
    • Logs errors related to resource duplication for easier debugging.

🚀 Usage Example

  1. Create a note containing a list with embedded images.
  2. Use the "Duplicate" option to create a copy of the note.
  3. Verify that:
    • The original note remains unchanged.
    • The duplicated note has independent resource references.
    • Formatting is retained in both notes.

🖼 Screenshots

📌 Before Fix:

  • Original and duplicated notes shared resources, causing formatting issues.
