Import/Export .md and .txt files to/from the database

As a enduser, in order to migrate to Notes I'd need to migrate my already made text-files. The only alternative is to copy-paste them, which would be very time consuming.

I agree that's a good suggestion. Thanks!

Let me know if you'd like to have a more fleshed out user-story, I wrote the issue quickly just to get it off my head 😃

I think it's a pretty understandable request. If you think there's something you should point out, please do.

I have a large collection of notes that I've migrated multiple times across apps, so this feature is required for me. I'm currently using Joplin, but I'm not thrilled with the UX; yours seems quite nice.

Joplin supports a number of export formats, but .md is one of them.

This feature strikes me as essential for just about any experienced user of notes apps, so probably deserves a high priority over further UX improvements.

@batsatt You're right. We will ship this on our next (minor) release. See: https://github.com/nuttyartist/notes/projects/8#card-85711502

Very important feature,I need it too ! I have 1700+ notes in txt format, in 10 folders, and I don't know how to import them in this app. Thank you for your job, very interesting project !

Not yet been implemented, unfortunately.

Any chance of implementing this?

passionate2023 avatar Aug 16 '23 19:08 passionate2023

I hope we'll manage to make it happen when releasing v2.3.0, fingers crossed.

Any update on this?

Nothing new yet. No need to keep asking here, please. I'll keep you posted.

nuttyartist avatar Oct 19 '23 11:10 nuttyartist

i meant when the 2.3.0 is expected - next year or this year? and not update on the about feature

passionate2023 avatar Oct 21 '23 02:10 passionate2023

I'm not sure. I estimate it will take around 4 months. It's not going to be 2.3.0 but a major new version.

nuttyartist avatar Oct 21 '23 08:10 nuttyartist

Is this feature is available now @nuttyartist ?

passionate2023 avatar Dec 12 '23 19:12 passionate2023

Hey, not yet. Please ask again in 2 months from now.

@passionate2023 I'm happy to finally say I implemented importing .txt/.md files in Plume, and it will see its way into Notes as well. In a few days I should implement exporting to .txt/.md as well.
