Merging journals
The performance of the journal app with large journals has led me to work on daily journals and then merge them at some interval. The following script is useful to do the merging, usually I export a group of journals and then run this script over them which merges them into a single journal with tabnames equal to the original journal file names. It would be nice to have this (or something like this) available as a button on the Library screen when you select a group of journals.
#!/bin/bash function trim { x=$(($1-1)) head -n $x /tmp/temp > /tmp/temp2 } function convert { name=`echo $1 | sed s/.esj//g` echo "<page width=\"396.00\" height=\"540.00\" tabname=\"$name\">" gzcat $1 | tail +6 > /tmp/temp lines=`wc -l /tmp/temp` trim $lines mv /tmp/temp2 /tmp/temp #sed s/tabname=\"\"/tabname=\"$name\"/g /tmp/temp cat /tmp/temp rm /tmp/temp } function wrapper { echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" standalone=\"no\"?>" echo "<xournal version=\"0.4.2.1\">" echo "<author>XXXXX</author>" for ARG in $* do convert $ARG done echo "</xournal>" } wrapper $* | gzip - |

Agreed. That would be a very helpful feature addition.

This is a great idea. I can definitely see a demand for it.
