Request: Retain metadata

[ghost]

I wonder if it might not be too much trouble to retain the metadata for each annotation from the original 'My Clippings' file (e.g., highlight page number, location, date annotation was taken)? I have no C programming capacity or I would give this a shot myself.

I'm sorry for not acknowledging your request on here — I've kept it on my to-do list for the last few months. I've had a bit of time to rewrite Firewood in Python to make it easier to work with and I added the feature to keep the metadata.

If you put pyrewood.py in the same directory as your My Clippings.txt, you can run it like this: python pyrewood.py -i

The -i flag keeps the metadata.

Hope that's useful — thanks for the idea.

Perfect!

Thanks
