Minor issues with importing / exporting

Open nadapez opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

The importing and exporting functionality have some minor but cumbersome issues, at least in linux:

  1. Exporting does not allow to choose the extension of the exported file. In particular exporting to plain text creates a .txt file, being that extension meaningless in linux.

  2. Importing files only are allowed for specific extensions. Again, only .txt files can be imported as plain text files. It should be possible to open any file despite the format chosen.

  3. Ability to import Markdown files is missing, while it is possible to export to that format.

2 combined with 3 makes impossible to import a .md file.

I am currently using the notebook program Obsidian. It uses markdown files as notes, and I want to write nested lists, which could be imported by minder, but the only way for now is to rename the files to .txt, but obsidian does not admit that extension.

The version I am using is 1.13.1 My operative system is linux

You could try creating a symbolic link to your .md file and give it a .txt extension as a workaround.

You could also try copying and pasting the contents of the Markdown file into the Quick Entry window as another workaround option.

Using version 1.14.0 with ubuntu 20.04 Export fails completely when using a sticker, image, pdf etc It says "export done" but not file is produced. Without the sticker, export works.
