Hey!

are there any plans for implementing an export function in nearer future?
Since I see me updating quite frequently, I want to backup my notes outside
of the server environment.

best regards!

That doesn't really matter to me. I just thaught about a backup-solution prior to updating paperwork. So when things go wild, you are able to restore your notes with a fresh installation/database.
There is the ability to import from evernote files. Perhaps this is possible the way around?

@Liongold we could try to play cool and export data in Evernote's XML format. Then the user could easily migrate from Paperwork to Evernote, if he'd like to. Besides, an Evernote XML importer is planned anyway, so we could use that to bring back the data.

@volkerpfosten as a temporary solution you could pretty much just dump the whole MySQL database. :-)

I assume the Evernote XML is this
https://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/enml.php, right?

@Liongold yupp, that's right. I've created & exported 3 test-notes, containing attachments and various formatting options, see here: https://gist.github.com/devilx/1e093ba85713122f5c76

I'll tentatively assign this to me. Right now I'm a little busy with a couple of things but should be able to determine whether I can do it in a week or a little more. Hopefully before the new year.

from paperwork.

And I don't seem to be able to assign the issue to me from the web interface. So @devilx, if you want, you can assign me yourself.

from paperwork.

I've done some work on this and I've generated this first file. @devilx Can you check it out since I don't have Evernote myself? https://gist.github.com/Liongold/4b1a5d4b2dfcf78157fc

It includes an attachment which is a text file which includes Test in it.

from paperwork.

@Liongold thank you for your work! I tried to import your file into Evernote, unfortunately it didn't succeed. I've quickly compared your file with my export but couldn't find any differences, although I'd need to take a deeper look.

from paperwork.

Could you show me the export produced by Evernote for the same note as I've exported, please?

from paperwork.

@Liongold as I can not import your GIST into Evernote, I've just created one "Testing"-note myself and exported that one: https://gist.github.com/devilx/634b2d2bb5b0ff3ae5da

from paperwork.

Attachment?

from paperwork.

"Attachment"? I think it would be a good idea to set up a test account on Evernote.com and use that one to test importing/exporting functionality, as currently I can't answer to your requests as quickly as it might be needed for you to get this fixed. :-)

from paperwork.

I'd suggest that we meet for an hour or two on IRC to be able to work together.

The export I sent you is of one note that includes an attachment in it (txt file with Test content). However, in your export I don't see any mention of attachments. Does this: https://gist.github.com/devilx/634b2d2bb5b0ff3ae5da include an attachment?

from paperwork.

@Liongold nope, it doesn't. I didn't understand your question then. Here's one with a .txt File included: https://gist.github.com/devilx/f943fa7edb10b948a199

However, it'll still be good if you could set up your own Evernote account for testing purpose. Regarding the IRC thing: What timezone are you in? I'm UTC+1.

from paperwork.

CET. If you can, we can meet right now.

from paperwork.

Can you show me an export of multiple notebooks please?

from paperwork.

It turned out Evernote can't export multiple notebooks selectively. You can either export the notes from one notebook or all the notes available.

I can't demonstrate the latter since I'm - unfortunately - having sensitive data in Evernote. Please create a test account on evernote.com and try it out.

from paperwork.

I've opened a pull request for this feature. It's at pull request #41. Could you please check it out and comment since it's my first Laravel code?

from paperwork.

#41 was implemented by @Liongold and just merged into master. @volkerpfosten if you'd like, feel free to update & test.

from paperwork.

@Liongold could you check your code? I just tested it and found an issue:

Undefined variable: attachments (View: /Users/devilx/Projects/paperwork/frontend/app/views/user/settings/export_file.blade.php)

I took a look into the file and found something weird:

@if(isset($tags)) @foreach ($attachments as $attachment) <en-media type="[[ $attachment['mimetype'] ]]" hash="[[ $attachment['hash'] ]]" /><br /> @endforeach @endif

Is this supposed to check for $tags but then still use $attachments?

from paperwork.

Apologies for that issue. It should check for $attachments. I'll do it as
soon as possible.

Sincerely,
Jean Spiteri.

from paperwork.

Can you check it now, please?

from paperwork.

Looks good now! Thank you!
