Question Possible to import annotations from external file?

Hi,

first I am talking about Kindle Paperwhite. It has notes and highlights stored in file MyClippings.txt This file can be, and it is, removed when you do reboot or sometimes when software is updated. I had made in past few copies of this file. I like to read them using the annotation plug-in.

I have found in developer_notes.txt file in the plugin's zip following note:

Quote:
There are three user-initiated paths to importing annotations:
1.*User drags a .MRV, .MRVI or .TXT file to the plug-in icon. If the dropped file has the proper mime content, drop_event() fires do_drop_event(), which passes the dropped file to each of the installed reader classes until it is successfully parsed, or informs the user that no installed class could parse the file.

2. User invokes the dropdown menu item 'Fetch annotations from <connected device>' (when a supported device is connected).

3.*User invokes the dropdown menu item 'Import annotations from <reader class>'.
I was wondering should dragging and dropping of myClippings.txt file on the icon of the annotation plugin work like it is described in point 1?

At this moment it doesn't work for me and I am not sure:
  1. Did I misunderstand the note in point 1
  2. Is MyClippings.txt file not the expected format
  3. or is something broken?

Thank you for helping.
