Import
The File/Import… dialogue allows to
- Generate a new slip with the content of a file,
- Add the slips from another slip-box to the current one (added slips will
be assigned a new slip ID),
- Import the contents of a tab-delimited (*.txt) or a comma-delimited (*.csv)
file (the latter is intended for Excel exports from Zettelkasten).
For the last option a window is displayed in which the columns of the file to
be imported can be assigned their slip fields. If multiple
columns of the source file should be imported into the same slip field the Item
No within SlipBox Field specifies in which order they will be added to
this field. Each row of the source file is imported into a separate slip.
Export
Via File/Export… slips can be written to an RTF or a plain
text file. Options are to export
- The current slip,
- The slips currently shown in the search view,
- The flagged slips,
- The whole box.
Furthermore, the export dialogue allows to select the slip fields that will
be exported. The slip ID is always exported.
The two other options can be used to add a page break after each slip and
to export each slip into a separate file. If the latter option is selected,
the name specified in the Save As field will be used for the folder that contains
the files; slip IDs are used for the filenames.
The export panel is also shown in the print dialogue (with the exception of
the Format options).
