Struck at home with a relatively mild case of covid, I had some spare time to give v2 another spin.

As much as I want to move on, I quickly had returned to v1 (for now). This was mainly related to two major issues for me, which I discuss in more detail below. On a positive note: org-roam-ui appears to have great promise. However, for now `org-roam-graph` in v1 is enough for my needs (strangely `org-roam-graph` has not changed since my last encounter with v2).

A bit of context: I have 2200+ notes and do not experience a slowdown of the system yet.

**issue 1: not all file-links had been migrated to id-links**

I am not sure what stopped the migration process and noticed this only by accident. A substantial part of the file-links had not been transformed into id-links. Of course this had an effect on the org-roam buffer, which only showed a fraction of the existing backlinks.

v1 had 8 backlinks:

v2 sees only 3 backlinks:

This is a scary bug. Unknown data loss is the worst kind of them…

**issue 2: the new org-roam buffer shows way too much context**

Is there a way to limit the display of the backlinks to their respective surrounding context as in v1? There seems to be much more noise in the v2 buffer.

v1 (look at Yan 2021 in the org-roam buffer):

v2 (the relevant line is not even shown):
