Motivation

Essentially I am currently testing different note taking software, I’m currently settling into trillium. The big problem I’m finding with these projects is none of them really have support for hand written notes, Saber fills this gap extremely nicely and this is exactly what I’m looking for, though I’m currently trying to figure out a seemless way to manage all my notes from trillium. So far I looked at decrypting the SDA files that are synced directly to Nextcloud and converting those to markdown but I don’t have the programming ability to convert the sda files.

Solution

A means to sync unencrypted PDF files to Nextcloud side by side with the encrypted SDA files so i can extract the PDF files and import them into trillium notes with a python script is the ideal solution

Alternatives

Alternatively having a means to convert the .sda files into Markdown or a PDF and the proper steps to generate the decryption key for the cloud encryption would be just as helpful

Saber version

0.25.8

Device

• Device: iPad
• OS: iPad OS 17.7.8

Anything else?

Beyond the means to get a reasonable format file from Nextcloud I will write the integration into trillium to update any recently notes from my Nextcloud server.

Anytime you spend on this is greatly appreciated, regardless of if you decide to complete this request. Lastly this is truely a brilliant app that fills a massive hole that literally no other app on a the market offers in terms of open source offerings and mobile applications. keep up the amazing work friend.

this would be helpful to get Saber to work nicely with the PKM system I've been working on.

I added possibility to not encrypt files on nextcloud in my fork of Saber https://github.com/QubaB/saber/tree/NextloudNotEncrypt If you like to test this feature you can.

I did not sent it as pull request as it seems that Saber author did not care about pull requests too much. So I stopped waiting for implementing my changes and I use my own Saber version.

If you like to save notes in your own format You can look on my Pull request #1486 I implemented different way of storing note. I think it can be then easily read by your own software.

Thanks so much, i think I'm going to need to jailbrake my iPad to side load this app onto it. I will thurrally test this and comment on it or attempt to fix any issues i encounter. Thanks again for your time i really appreciate it :)
