Suggestion: export found items

Postby Willi » Wed Jul 21, 2010 12:48 pm

Hi,

with v2.x possibly in sight...

here's a suggestion to enhance the export (or print) function to get something like a report feature:

Export/print only those items found by global search

Example for purpose:

Let's say I want to write a book with lots of scenes and chapters, and each chapter and scene has its own short description in a subnote (or surnote) named "SceneDesc" or whatever.
So, if I would search for "SceneDesc" I would get a number of items; and exported in one rtf-file it would make a nice treatment (or exposeé if searched for "ChapterDesc"). Most valuable for writers but I can imagine a lot of reasonable applications.

Alternatively I would renew an older and often made suggestion:

I still would die for a multiple selection of files. Checkboxes, Ctrl-Click or whatever, to do something to certain chosen items: printing, deleting, coloring, exporting - the benefits are almost endless :-)

Last not least I would second the request for a spreadsheet item.

Very last:

user configurable columns for the attachment grid.

Very very last: import folders with subfolders and reproduce the folder structure as a hierarchy in the tree.

and so much more ...

best regards

Willi

Willi...
I think that'd be an interesting function for global search...
Doing a search, selecting all the items you want, right-click and then » export to one of MyNotesKeeper's many export methods; that's an interesting idea.

Good stuff.

Thanks,

It would indeed be great if the results of a global search could be exported, or at least could be copied. The same should apply for the results by selecting a tag within the task pane.

I have a file with more than 1800 nodes, containing some 63000 titles, in something like 30 tabs. All the nodes are tagged so I can get a quick overview of the different categories which I created with the tags. It would be great if I'd be able to export or copy the result of a selected tag or even a complete overview of all the selected tags.

I think Willi made a great suggestion to improve MNK!
